Gus looked at her in surprise at how she reacted. He smiled huge and hugged the young woman. "You do not need to thank me. I am your master and your friend. Just do not disappoint me. Remember to be brave and follow your heart in what's best. I hope to have quite a while with you, though we can not tell what the future will decide. So we will both do our best, promise?" He held out a hand to her.
