A few minutes later Theodore came in with his helmet in his hand.
"You okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine" Sebastian answered.
Theodore looked around the submarine and saw the half-drunken mug of tea that was beside the beanbag.
"Why didn't you make me one?" Theodore said jokingly.
"Sorry, I didn't think," Sebastian said, Theodore could tell that there was something else on his mind.
"Ok, what's on your mind?" Theodore asked sitting down tired.
"Nothing, why would you think that?"
"Because I know you-"
"You've known me for a day"
"Anyway, what's wrong?"
"Nothing," Sebastian said, "Is there a postal service in the village?"
"Why do you want to know?" Theodore said with a smirk and a raised eyebrow.
"I need to send my progress to the king."
"And what would that be, 'Dear King Mathew, I have very little to report, although I have found this Fisher boy that is willing to take me' yeah sure, now what's it really about."
"I said, now let's get ready"
"To do what?" The ginger boy looked confused.
"I have been stuck in this submarine for almost two days I need to get some fresh air" Sebastian said standing.
Theodore handed the gold mask that was on the floor to Sebastian. "We don't want you to get and diseases from the dirty air" he said jokingly as Sebastian took the mask.
"Yeah the air is much purer in King's Gate" he replied
They stepped out of the submarine and it was no longer raining so Sebastian didn't need an umbrella but the dock was still wet. The wood of the dock was dark and the end of it was dripping from the rain was slowly trickling into the water below like a small waterfall. But obviously, the two boys didn't notice this because they just walked away towards the market that was currently on. Theodore didn't want anyone to notice Sebastian so that's why Theodore gave him the mask. They both walked towards the market until Theodore saw his dad waving at him. The ginger boy put his hands on Sebastian's' shoulders and quickly steered him away from the market.
When they were away from people Sebastian spoke.
"I can see the resemblance between the both of you" clearly referring to Theodore's dad.
"I don't want anyone to question where you came from, especially not my dad"
"Why not" by this point the two boys were walking down a street on their way to the postal service which, to Theodore's luck was on the other side of Darmhallow to the market.
"Because what would your parents say if you just turned up one day with a complete stranger?"
"Well they would be surprised, especially if the stranger looked like you" they rounder a corner and now they could see the postal service.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Theoodore stopped.
After Sebastian noticed this he stopped.
"Well I didn't mean anything by it. Its just your from here and I'm not. It would be strange if my parents saw you, that's all"
Oh, I agree, most people haven't even seen anyone like you so it would be hard."
So to keep my identity a secret can you deliver the letter for me?"
"Why not," Theodore said as Sebastian handed him the letter. The only information that was on it was 'King's Gate' "don't you need to put the Palance's name on it?"
"They would know who it is for"
And with that Theodore walked into the postal service.
The postal service was a small cottage like building with a thatched roof, the cottage sat in the middle of a hill, from which you could see the docks and the Harlequin. Inside the building, there was a simple desk which behind it sat an old man who Theodore had not met before but had seen him in passing.
"Hello, what can I help you with?"
"Just to send this letter, please," Theodore said producing the letter from his pocket.
"You have to have a stamp before you send it."
"Of course, the stamp, do you have one available?"
"Yes, it only costs one gold" the old mailman reached under the desk and revealed a stamp.
Theodore patted his pocket and said "I'll be back in a minute"
He left the postal service to see Sebastian leaning against a wall.
"I need money for a stamp"
"How much?"
"One gold"
"There you go" Sebastian flicked the coin and Theodore caught it and went inside.
Theodore paid for the stamp and put it on the letter, handing it over the desk. The man behind the desk took one look at the address and reached under the desk. That's when the alarm went off.
