Aunt Mia smiled covertly and said, "No, it's okay, honey. It's time for you to design. It is more important that you don't even think about your health, so I will have Felicia deliver the tea in Elian's room today."
"...Aunt?" Ria looked at her incredulously. She wanted to tell that in front of Elian, nothing was important.
"It's alright, child. You go and do your designing. No one will disturb you."
