you had been sent on a mission for a few days, a couple of days before returning you received a letter, Tomioka had spared the life of a demon and would be severely punished, your eyes widened at the news

when you returned you found him completely hurt and crying in silence, you took him to your farm, you couldn't let them take him to the butterfly farm, you were going to take care of him no matter what they told you

...thank you...

he said he in an audible whisper
