He stopped in the lobby to catch his breath while Sigrun went to get the professor's tools from his room. The armored knight came back down with a package small and light enough to be held with one of her hands, proudly showing it to her primary master.<br/><br/>"Is that everything he'll need to do what he intends to do at the lake?" The boy thought it better to verify before running back. But the knight seemed to believe her selection to be correct.<br/><br/>The boy accepted the package from her and trotted to the exit. Unending stamina, except when hungry and after 7 o'clock, was one of the main things adults envied in children. Riu was close to puberty, but since he wasn't there just yet he still possessed that remarkable energy. His body might be a bit worn out, but his eyes were sparkling and he could still keep going.<br/><br/>"Let's go back to meet the professer," Riu called to the knight. "Keep pace with me until we meet up with him." He didn't want to be left behind.<br/><br/>They jogged back, intending to meet up with the old man wherever his stamina had given out.
