After the King left I sighed and checked the time, and did a little dance seeing that I could finally leave. I, in all honesty mind doing all this work, I felt comfortable doing paperwork and research. However I am still a child and I like to play too, so I only worked the morning shift. Anyways, I get to meet up with Willow, Lance and Arthur now~
***
"Willow isn't here?" I ask and they sigh sadly.
"Nope, meeting of aristocrats got cancelled, if I wasn't staying here to study because of Aunty I wouldn't be here either." Lance huffs and Arthur suddenly beams. I knew that look, he's planning something...
"Let's go back to town! We have those cool amulets Rose made, let's go~" He grins and we all sigh, but we all ran off to change and sneak out. A little later we finally reached town, and we all take a deep breath catching sight of it.
"Wow, it's so big~" We laugh at Arthur who, apparently completely forgot the town is massive and we all link hands with our amulets active and run through town.

"I'm Oscar, who are you?" A young boy asks and Arthur grabs his hand and says excitedly,
"I'm Art! She's Morgan and super cool, and he's William!" Arthur beams and I cast a sideways look at Lance. He looked baffled by Arthur talking to the kid.
"I don't remember you~ Are you merchant kids?" Art nods and I cast a quizical look at the boy. How would he know what kids were new and old?
"Everyone here avoids these roads, new people learn quickly enough though, let me show you!" He suddenly takes Arthur's hand and drags him along, and after exchanging looks with Lance I followed too. I noticed when I started to move and follow Arthur that Lance fingered the knife on his arm nonchalantly.
I followed as quickly as possible and we soon got to picturesque road with just enough people to not be abandoned but still wasn't crowded enough to be a hindrance. The beautiful buildings surrounded the road, and the sun fell perfectly, I liked the road immediately.
"This is the best place to play! Enough people to not worry about being kidnapped but not so much they're gonna crush you." Oscar grins at us, as if expecting praise from us. He was not disappointed.
"Wooowwww. If we come to town again will you be here?" Oscar nods energetically but his words stuck with me. Not enough to be kidnapped. How very ominous.
