By the time Rino returned, Sheila and Bink were almost on the brink of tears. Initially, Rino thought that something horrible happened in his absence and nobody told him right away. However, he soon found out it was completely opposite.
"My liege! You've returned at last." Sheila bowed humbly as Rino dismounted Mutt.
"Why the fuss? Who died?"
The joke wasn't funny, and Rino almost thought someone died until the drow revealed it was quite the opposite.
"We're moving up the schedule for the animal pen migration. The barn is finally done. There's only a little problem…"
Oh? The barn project was finished at long last, and Rino couldn't wait to see the results. However, the mention of a problem concerned him. Did the animals really die? Perhaps they suffered some illness in his time away, unable to adapt to the new home.
"I think it's easier if my lord sees it for himself. The situation is a little absurd."
