Once we got back to the Capital, I asked the Captain to take my leave for 5 days, "Okay. Return directly to the north district then. I have work for you." I could only accept these terms. It would've taken me 2 days to walk back on foot, so I decided to take a carriage this time. I had saved some fares. On the way, I bought a wooden bracelet and headed directly for Uncle Maurice's work shop.
This time it was Uncle Maurice on the counter who I greeted, "Good evening uncle." He was busy cleaning up the counter, but he immediately stopped all his actions to greet me, "Ohoho, the star of the show is back. Taking that long of a leave, you could've at least sent a letter. If I hadn't known about the holiday schedule, this uncle would have been very worried. Now now, come inside. You must be tired, huh. And my God, look at that physique, they fattened you up real good. At least my taxes are not totally wasted."
I really want to rest, "Yeah, thankyou. Where is Sammy?"
