The moon rose high in the dark sky, and Byung was ready with Maui by his side. She knew it might be smarter for her to stay behind.
Still, no one could guess what waited for him past this spot, and she wanted to face it with him.
This trip felt like a turning point, and Maui knew Byung needed her now more than ever.
She had no idea how much money he really had or why he spent so much without trying to bargain.
He either had tons of cash or he just made a big money mistake, but it did not worry her since things turned out fine.
It also showed Byung got how money worked, even though goblins never used it in their lands.
Maui was too big to fit in the back of the wagon with Byung, so she sat up front next to the driver.
This was dangerous, but many female orcs rode along to handle the driver's wild needs on long trips like this.
If there were no stops planned, so this was the only way that made sense on paper.
With his job, he never ran out of money.
