I didn't ask what she meant by "for now."
After that, instead of going straight home, I went to see the inn girl.
[Fifty million divided by four gives me ten million.]
The thought surfaced again, uninvited, and for some reason, it made me want to talk to her. I couldn't explain why. It just felt like the right thing to do.
She was behind the counter when I arrived, flipping through a worn ledger. She looked up when she heard my footsteps.
A smile blossomed on her face.
Or did it?
It was hard to tell due to her eldritch head.
We spoke for a while.
I received the information that the ship officers were looking for me, since they had found out I had impersonated an officer.
The single advised me to stay low.
After a quick chat, I promised to meet her again tomorrow, and left for home.
Home was peaceful, or so would I have liked to say.
The whole house was filled with hustle and bustle by the time I was woken up in the morning.
