30 Return (1/2)

Gazing up as I walk outside of the jail building looking at the sky and the sun, faint clouds circling the sky with birds of different colours dotted about like sprinkles on pure blue water.

If the sun is to be believed, today I'd be making the weekly bread with Elyns help. That would require both the machine and Elyn, while I can't find the machine, I can try to find her instead.

Being shown to the residence that Ilmilmis talked about I start calling for her as I walk around, after a few minutes one of the servants points me in the direction of the kitchen to my surprise.

The smell of fresh bread and spices helps guide me to the doorway where I find Elyn sitting happily at a table eating snacks one of the chefs was preparing for her. Some bacon being cooked as well as some eggs on a plate in front of her while the chef looks happy to have someone enjoying his meals in the kitchen.

I nod towards the chef as he notices me come in before addressing Elyn.

”Is this your new big brother? How is his cooking compared to mine do you think?” I ask her jokingly as I go to hug her. She jumps down leaving her food behind and hugs me back.

”I missed you Bro, please don't leave me again.” she starts crying lightly as her small arms struggle to hug me properly.

”Yeah I missed you too, don't worry I don't have to go anywhere again. Did they look after you like I asked?”

She nods in reply as I start addressing the chef.

”Were you told how long we are staying for and is there an additional room for me to sleep in?”

”Yes of course, we will have a room prepared by the end of the hour, as for the duration of your stay we were not informed, only asked to provide what you need.” He replied with a slight bow before preparing to continue with his work.
