-2 hours later-
Man I am beat. I think the breakfast rush is over now but that jsut means I will be here like George said
-1 hours earlier-
"Oh by the way! Coda!"
"What?! Whay is its" I yell across the kitchen cleaning the dishes still
"Yoy will have to also be here for the dinner rush!"
-Now-
*Sighs* well it could be worse. I have been washing dishes this whole time mostly and helped get some of the ingredients for George. Barely helped out Lilith after that whole ahem...issue. Sort of embarrassing but those girls seems cute. I bet they might've been attracted to me.
Heh, never been a ladies man or into girls much into my lfie before hand. I was still young and thought I had plenty of time. Obviously that time was cut short.
I am sitting at a empty table after the end of breakfast service and feel a little tired from all the movement. This isn't exercise this is just work. Boring work for free.
But I am doing this to help this family pay off there debt to these "thugs" they mentioned. Plus they seem to like me working here.
As I am thinking I here some walking and turn to see Lilith walking with a plate of pancakes. Sort of not morning anymore but I'd eat them.
"Are those for me?" I ask with wide yellow eyes beaming onto the pancakes
"No" she says cracking a smile
"Aw man..." I turn back around and look back out the window to think how I have been forsaken by the pancake gods of fortune.
"But we can share if you like" she states a few seconds after me moping.
"Yes! I mean ahem, I would love to."
"Pfft, sure thing" she sits next to me and gives me her fork. This is odd because now that I think about ti she only brought one fork. Are we sharing he fork?
"Hey um, we only have one fork..." I say turning to her with a look of confusion.
"Oh well I guess we will have to share the fork."
I knew it this is some kind of trick or something. Unless she Is flirting with me.
*Gasps* "I uhm, I...sure..." was all I could say. I have a hard time denying people their fun or enjoyment. Even if I look like a fool.
"welp I guess we gotta share" I take the fork and insert it into the pancakes and serve up a bite to myself.
I start chewing and feel the enjoyment of life itself course into my mouth's taste buds.
I take the fork and get another one but before I bite into it I forget someone else is sitting right next to me with the intent of eating as well. Oh well.
"Uhm here you go nearly forgot" I hand her the fork for her to grab but something unexpected happens.
She leans in forward and takes a large bite out of the slice of pancake unexpectedly. I thought she was gonna take the fork away from me not take a bite out of it.
Guess I am feeding her...Sort of like a couple? I don't know. Probably something couples do. I never had a girlfriend or dated anyone in fact...I missed out.
She seems to take her time when eating off the fork taking it in her mouth my savoring it while sucking on the fork. Very weird.
She finally let's go of the fork and I just look at her. Better not make this weird and walk away.
"I am actually kind of full hahaha" I start getting myself up from the table and walk way hastily.
"Aw...Oh well more for me."
Maybe I should take a walk around town again. I sort of enjoy it. It will allow me to kill time and explore more
-hours later-
I have wondered around town for a while now. I look up at the ksy and the sun seems to be getting darker. I bet it is time for me to head back. Maybe I should've spoken to Ariel this whole time instead of wandering around town. doesn't matter now I am heading back.
As I am walking back to the place I hear some guard talking a bit about something. Better for me not to eaves drop but can't help it.
I eaves drop behind a crate and hear some guards inside of an alley searching. Are they searching for an animal or something? They are searching for something alive I bet
"Hey, have you seen any movement in that alleyway?!"
"No! Check the next one over!"
I move away from the torch's light behind the crate and let them both walk past me. They walk right passed me while mumbling something. Wonder who or what they are looking for. Better not get to involved in that.
-few minutes later-
I make my way down the street to the tavern and there is some commotion going on the closer I get. Seems like something happened while I was away. Shit...What happened?
As I get closer I see George yelling at a guard and Lilith sitting at the steps in front of the tavern crying again. What in the hell did I miss? If only I stayed and not left then maybe I could know.
I walk closer and emediantly George looks at me and comes closer to me with the heating speed of an angry father.
I take a few steps backwards but stop after 2 steps. I bet he might be mad I took a walk and wasn't around for whatever had occurred?
"You where were you?" George says pointing to me before he gets to my proximity.
"I was walking around town before the night shift would start. What happened here? Did someone get hurt? Did Lilith get hurt?" I say with a more quiet tone feeling guilty that this somehow might be my fault.
*sighs* "No it wasn't your fault about what happened. Ugmand came in like a run away horse into the tavern breaking the lock on the door and started yelling hateful things to me, the tavern, and Lilith. If you were here we probably wouldn't have been able to do anything differently."
"What did he do specifically then?"
He stops talking and looks over to his daughter ho seems to be comforted by a female guard sitting next to her. Lilith looks up to both of us and nods her head. I guess she proves of what he is about to say.
"You see, Ugmand started storming into the tavern out of the blue likely angry from being fired by me. I get part of it. But I fired him because he was a angry problematic worker and him coming back to complain about it to me just proved the point"
"So he is a unhinged person with many anger issues."
"Yes he is. But he start wrecking the place demanding the payment we weren't due to pay early because of how mad he was. Remember, he is apart of the group of thugs who we owe a debt to in payments and he was here to "assist" and watch us. He tried to do a fling with my daughter several times and eventually got her heart for a while. But he is just to aggressive and dangerous to be with my daughter."
"Wow. I can't believe this is the same person I met a while ago with Lara. Also used to work for Lara's family."
"I suppose. When he came in he started calling Lilith...Whore, slut, and many other names and mentioned you even."
"Oh really? What kinds of "wholesome" things did he say about me?"
"I don't know why you would think they are wholesome after what we just said about him.
"I-Never mind keep going what did he say."
"He called her a lizard loving whore and how she sucked his...ahem dick and is going for a lizard boys now is no surprise for a lizards whore..."
Wow this guy is a problem. Maybe that's why she-wait? Did she have sex with Ugmand? No, forget about that. That is the point of calling someone these names to make others think ill of the victim. I remember bullying at school would happen in regards to these. Horrible thing to the girls.
"Wow this guy is such an asshole" I say clenching my fists. He is really starting to piss me off.
"So is Lilith crying because the insults hurt her? I hope that question doesn't sound ignorant I just want to make sure about this situation."
"I am sure you are. Your a good kid. Something tells me I might've made things worse getting you involved but I can't truly say for sure. So please go home for tonight." he turns away smiling seemingly on good terms.
As he turns away Lilith walks inside the tavern as well without saying goodnight to me. But I will at least say it for her.
"Goodnight Lilith! I hope this doesn't stay this way forever." I raise my hand up to my chest and start waving as she looks at me.
She smiles but still doesn't say anything still. But that's fine as long she is safe and well with her father.
Maybe it is for the best. I should head home now. Not like I can do much now. As I turn around I realize I have not eaten since morning and have no money. Shit...At least I have pockets.
I start walking east of the town where I can head home and get some rest and also eat something food! I start fast pace walking past a few alleys ways; I also start hearing some noises of cats for some reason.
