The moment they got back to the castle, Cris knelt down so that AJ could safely dismount and get back on her feet. Straightening up, he looked at the torch that was still burning. Snuffing the flame out, Cris quickly walked over to join the Professor.

"Too bad we weren't able to make it to the lake. But it was still an interesting lesson, Professor. Where would you like me to put this?" Cris gestured to the torch that was still in his possession.

Then Cris remembered something else. "Professor, Adi and I collected some tea leaves for you. Can we see you tomorrow so that we can give them to you?" Cris politely asked the elderly man. Yes it would be appropriate to make sure the Professor would be in his office when they went to visit him.
