章 33: Spread Your Wings
Both of us pulled apart a bit embarrassed with everyone around, but now the people I wanted to see were here and it was time to get down to business. I looked over to the door and found a circular tube sitting on a pole that had a glowing orb about four handspans wide. It was on the opposite of the revival tree.
The blue centerpiece had something inside of it shining and moving, giving off a sapphire candescence similar to Lesha's eyes. I looked around, but Healia must have known what I was looking for because she spoke up.
"The repair shop is on the second floor, and on the third is the Guild members quarters."
"Thank you, Father and Leana, would you follow me? Girls, can you wait for the others to get back, and then tell them where their rooms are if I'm not back down? Gobby will stay with you."
"But K! You just got down here! Can't I come with you? The girls don't want to talk to me!" Gobby complained while wiggling his arms.
"Girls, don't be like that! He is all clean now, and isn't he cute?"
"Don't call him cute, you called me cute, and I am cute. He is a walking bloody eyeball, not cute!" Mie complained, also waving her arms to the side.
"I will try to entertain him, but once he gets started…" Lesha let her words trail off, but I understood what she meant.
"Gobby, please just stay with the girls, Mei, don't be rude, and Lesha...I'll be back soon," I said, but I wanted to say more.
I left the girls and my bloody eyeball to wait for the others, and took my parents upstairs, and entered a door that was previously a wall. Inside was a brick hall that led to the back of the area where there was a brand new forge set up with fresh never been used tools. There was everything my father would need to do all the same things he could at his old job and so much more.
I looked over at my father who was already walking around, touching the anvils, picking up hammers, and testing clamps. I let him walk around and do his inspection in silence, instead of turning to Leana.
"Leana, would you mind coming to work at the Guild helping with running the place? I have Gram helping me right now, but we will need more staff with the more people that we have joined the Guild to help with cleaning and cooking, but I can't be here all the time. I know that you have been at your job," but I was cut off by Leana.
"Of course I will, and it will make it easier for me to teach Miss Mei! Oh, this is wonderful! We will have the whole family working here! James! Come here, you can play with your toys after!" Leana called over to my father.
Dad looked over, finally showing emotion with his face splitting smile, but I looked like there was something more than just tools and a new forge in that smile. He walked over and stood behind Leana and wrapped his arms around her, and then put his hands on her stomach, pressing her upon back to reveal a slightly swollen stomach.
"You're pregnant! Congratulations! When did this happen? Wait, I don't want to know, but that's great!"
"We wanted to tell you, but we wanted you to get your own place, but your father wouldn't bring it up to you. Still, all things happen for a reason, and now you have a beautiful home of your own, and the start of your own family!" Leana said with a smile, leaning back into dad.
"What are you going to do now though? Are you going to move in with dad? Or you could come live here. I have extra rooms, the girls won't be using theirs anytime soon."
"No, I think I'm going to move in with Leana, K. Plus it's time you spread your wings, and you will see more of me than ever now, so maybe its best this way, plus, me and Leana want to spend some alone time, if you know what I mean, hehe," my father said with a smile, but that got him and elbow to the gut.
"Sure, stay and look around if you want or come down, Gram will give you a rundown on things better than I can Leana, so talk to him about things. Father, people will bring you things and order and you know what to do with them. I don't need to tell you how to do your job, but I need to go see how things are going, and I'm getting a bit hungry."
It was almost lunch, so I would have to wait for the others to get back before I can swear in more Guild Members. I left the two, and head back downstairs to see what the girls were up to, but as I got closer to the get, I could hear Mei start to scream bloody murder like she was being chased. I ran out and down the stairs to find Gobby chasing Mei around, both were yelling, and screaming bloody murder, literally.
Lesha had her head down and fingers jammed in her ears, not controlling the situation at all.
"ENOUGH!"
The two froze mid-run, and Lesha looked up with wide eyes.
"You two, go play outside and make all the noise you want, and you!"
Lesha was trying to sneak away, but I glared at her, and she froze, turning her head ever so slowly towards me with a weak smile.
"You were supposed to be watching them, not your feet! Get in the kitchen and help me make some food!"
"Yes Ma'am! You can teach me a lesson later!" Lesha said, racing to the kitchen.
She was around the bar and into the kitchen before I could retort. I was going to teach her a lesson later! That is after she does that thing with her tongue she promised me earlier!
