"Don't send me away sir, I still want to work for you", the boy said with a soft pleading voice, still heaving from the running. "You have no use for me anymore boy, go home", Alec said tiredly and closed his eyes.
"Please", the boy knelt and begged. Alec sat straight and glare at the boy. The boy whimpered at Alec's stare and stepped back a little. Alec then sighed and pointed at the fish feed in the corner. "Take this and feed every of the fish. You will only be taking two fishes every three days, as I don't have much to spare", Alec declared and laid down again. Hopefully, this would drive him away.
Contrary to Alec's speculation, the boy immediately grabbed the sack and headed out. It appeared that the condition didn't bother him that much. He didn't care anyway. He was too tired to think already, and he needed at least six hours of recuperating before he could go out and work.
