Despite his feminine features and frail appearance, with the magical abilities he had shown them, Toppo now knew that Aloe was strong; he could benefit a lot from him. It was wise to remain on his good side. 

While making his way through the portal, Toppo chose to stay at the back of the group since he wanted a better angle to observe the others. However, he was caught off guard and was surprised by the small green-haired female, who was almost half his height.

Looking down, Toppo laughed as he offered his right arm for the young girl to caress as while continued to walk forward.

It was a strange request that made him wonder, but since it came from a child with curious eyes, Toppo  had no reason to decline.

As they continued to converse, a loud voice came booming from in front of their group causing Toppo's ears to twitch. For now, he just needed to remain perceptive; he had to watch, listen, and let the others do the work for him.
