That day, after exploring the riverbank, Sean and his friends returned before sunset. This was mainly because going further would require them to cross the river and make a detour, so they decided to head back instead.
Old Master Andrew was still in the courtyard with a wine bottle in his hand. This time, however, he had switched to red wine, occasionally taking sips and appearing somewhat helpless.
Seeing Sean, the old man looked at him with some expectation.
Sean snickered secretly, but still politely went into the kitchen and cut up some luncheon meat, serving it on plates.
Since they had brought plenty of food, the group did not consider it as their main meal, so sharing a portion wasn't a problem.
"Young man, you're a good person!" The old man was delighted. "This meat tastes really good!"
Sean and Elijah sat in the courtyard, chatting with the old man.
