Gring~
The bell above the door of the Tavern rang to announce William's entrance.
Contrary to the previous time he entered, all eyes were on him.
William froze as he didn't expect this. As the taverners saw that it was just William, some sighed and others had a look of disappointment on their faces. Some even cursed at William.
"Ey, kid! You're back!" Juggo waved his large arms at William.
William walked up to the group. They were still sitting at the table close to the quest board. He scanned the tavern and leaned close to Juggo and asked in a low tone, "Why's everyone angry at me?"
Juggo looked around, "Huh? Oh, they ain't angry at ya, kid. It's been about three hours since ya left, right?"
"Yeah."
"The scouts're supposed to be back by now."
"Oh, I see," William nodded.
