Donna missed her friends now that summer vacation has arrived.....
And surprisingly, he brother also expressed that same thing.
"Father, I would like to be allowed to travel to Scirocco to visit the Phoenix Mountain with a friend." He said plainly.
"For what reason?" Duke Taevas ate the sloppily-made soup Mavretri gave him. "..... Needs more salt."
Mavretri shook his head. "Your physician told me that you could not have more salt or it will make you unwell again, Your Grace."
Duke Taevas slammed his fist on the table. "Damn physicians. I'm already approaching death's door as I slowly age, can't I at least enjoy my soup with more salt before I do?"
He turned back to Ronin. "Scirocco is very far away from here, about three weeks travel just to get there. You need a valid reason to convince me."
"I miss my friend." Ronin answered without a hint of 'missing' someone at all.
Duke Taevas knew that he did this on purpose, so he would ask more questions.
