"Bai, Bai, Bai…"
Listening to the incantation-like muttering by his ear, even the composed Gilder couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
"The master won't abandon you," said the Mousefolk at Gilder's side, glancing carefully at the delicate girl who resembled a porcelain doll and, hearing her unremitting muttering, couldn't help but whisper soothingly.
The master would never let down any "companion" related to him; this belief was the Mousefolk's creed up to this day.
That's why...
He and his sister had said their final goodbyes.
The lady from the Arbitration Place did not provide an exact time for action, so to prevent an unexpected departure one day, the Mousefolk only wanted to see his sister for the last time before... calmly facing death.
From this moment on, every day would be his last.
So even listening to the continuous "curses" of the intriguing character seemed quite interesting.
