If Vaike focuses, he might have heard a "holy moly!" from the distance. It doesn't matter if he does or doesn't - this does not chance Cynthia's plan.

She's quick and light on her feet. Before Vaike knows it, something springs onto his back. That thing is Cynthia. Her arms are around his shoulders, dangling there, uselessly.

"What are you doing here?!" Cynthia asks, grinning. "I can't believe it! You're here!!"

All he was doing was standing around, figuring out where to go after his teaching duties were all over. He could go get some extra training done, maybe get a nice meal… Ooh! He heard there was a nice little sauna somewhere in the monastery! 

But then–

“JEEPERS!”

The Vaike nearly sends himself off the ground with that lil’ sneak attack. Who in their right mind would scare him like tha-

Waitaminute.

“CYNTHIA?!” His mouth parts into the widest grin. “Howdja even get in the same place as ol’ Teach?! Fate really does work in mysterious ways, eh?”

Might as well let her hang onto him for a bit longer. It’s not everyday this happens! “Ya know, the Vaike bumped into ya right on time! What say we grab somethin’ to eat? You hafta tell me about your adventures!”
