"I believe we should continue to sponsor the girl," Ackhart said, pushing his long hair out of his way. "Right now, we have a problem because two problems combine. If we keep the girl from learning about what happened, we will keep her as a separate problem," he explained his train of thought.
The Inn once again turned silent as the people digested Ackhart's words.
Despite their usually rowdy attitude, they weren't simple men. And they knew better than answering with whatever came to their heads in the heat of the moment.
"That's a good idea," Natan said silently, nodding his head.
The first few moments of the meeting were vastly different from what he expected. But instead of refusing to accept the new situation, he quickly forced his pride down his throat as he humbly rejoined the meeting.
Guys, quick note.
I'm not in the country involved in the war that just erupted... but I'm pretty damn near it. As the conflict might soon cause cascading effects beyond Ukraine's borders, I don't think I will be in a mental or physical state to keep up with anything more than dailies.
As such, I'm sorry to announce it, but there won't be a priv expansion this month nor there will be any bonus chapters from now on and until the situation stabilizes (or I get used to it to the point where it is no longer affects my ability to write).
Sorry for the inconvenience and let's hope the conflict will end up as soon as possible.
