"The new owner?" Aldrich asked in confusion and then he remembered telling Yasbel to use his share of the profits to redecorate the place and since more than a month passed the money must have come in.
Yasbel was really quick to work, the money was put to use almost immediately.
Aldrich wasn't bothered by the costs since it wasn't all that much anyway. Besides it also improved the look of the place, looks were always the focus of people.
As evidence he saw many more customers in the coffee house. This improved his mood if only a little.
To be honest Aldrich wasn't in the mood for coffee but for beer. He didn't know what to with himself after that conversation.
He had never seen Ayemon that emotional before, in fact Ayemon was always the picture of composure and calmness. And even when he heard about Orven he wasn't like this.
He had the feeling that he learned something that he shouldn't have, like a taboo. It was not a hard question to arrive at, but it was hard to ask.
