26 Welcome (2/2)

Happiness is available for any sir

.

What a great welcome, this sight

Too bad I am on my flight

What happened to my life full of light

When all I can see is night

.

I am but a poor poet

A traveller by force

But if this is the view offered

To experience is the best choice~

”Stop that, Tula! You're going to make the visitors run away!”

”There is that bastard! He ate and run from my store! Chase him!”

”He also hasn't paid for his stay at my inn!”

”Come back here, you bastard!”

Ignoring the current drama unfolding, the Mal'it Clan docked their boats in the village port near the entrance. Majority of the trading would not occur in this village but a few clans would be meeting here to go together to the Dag'at Port near the ocean.

Together with some men, Shaman Matnaad went to the village council hall for the clan meeting while the other men could explore the village and some had to stay with the boats as guards. Bobo took the chance to tour Ling around the place.

Once they stepped on land, Ling felt slightly better. However, he was sitting on his father's shoulders again, the movements making him nauseous.

”Wait, Father, d-don't move around,” he inhaled sharply while holding onto his father's hair for support, ”too much. Stop walking first.”

His father stopped walking but laughed at him, ”How can you go on more adventures if you can't travel by water?”

The shaking from the laughter was still making him uncomfortable but Ling managed to answer, ”I can't get seasick when on land or sky! You can put me down now. I'm already big enough not to be carried anyways.”

When Ling was finally on land, he felt better but since his father was still laughing at him, he puffed up his face and stomped ahead, complaining, ”I thought you will tour me around. I'll tell on you to mother!”

His father's reply was another laugh while they proceeded with their tour.
