The two would later become best friends as they enjoy spending time with each other, which can be seen by the fact that they often go shopping together, while gossiping about certain topics.

Tabitha admits that he can sometimes be intense and was relieved whenever he acted like a normal child. When Arthur promised to help Lilia develop her mana core, Tabitha was at first skeptical of Arthur's ability to perform such a feet and was even infuriated at him, believing he was playing a cruel joke to get Lilia's hopes high.
