Erin glanced between Irene and Isaac before saying awkwardly, "Sorry I didn't knock. Am I disturbing?"

"No," Irene quickly said.

"Oh, okay." Erin smiled. "Anyway, Tommy's tutor is here to give him Franconian lessons at the moment, so I thought I shouldn't impose."

Irene walked up to Erin and turned to glance at Isaac while she thought about what she should say. "Erin, we cant stay here."

"Why?" Erin asked.

"B-Because..."

"I just reached out to a hospital to treat my eyes. It'd be more convenient over there," Isaac said.

Erin pursed her lips. "But this place is just fine... And the treatment is not permanent, right?"
