Viktor exchanged glances with Umilia and Taya who nodded, making him say, "Sure. We had planned for a two day vacation but who knew things would turn out like this. So I guess we will have to depend on you guys for tonight as well."
"It will be our pleasure and honor to have you three stay the night. Aelita, why don't you show them where they would be spending the night while I go and…try to put everything back together even though some things can never be recovered…" Chief Tamo trailed off with a doleful face, making Viktor realize he was probably thinking about Yavet, his son who died due to his own foolishness.
"We are sorry for your loss," Taya said as she bowed her head slightly along with Umilia and Viktor.
Chief Tamo forced a smile as he nodded stiffly, "Maybe it was his fate…"
Aelita's expression also became complicated as she placed her hand on her father's back and gently said, "Father, you should take some rest. I will handle everything."
