It took a while.
With his wife dead- Darphius had been skipping work and just drank till morning every night, then slept till the evening and repeat!
With no income, he was close to selling the damn house too.
It wasn't until his daughter one night, cried like it was the end of the world, till he came back to his senses and realized-
He wasn't alone.
His wife was dead, but his daughter was not.
And that's why- Darphius took jobs again.
He tried hard-
He always laughed.
It didn't matter if the job involved skinning some deers or haughty nobles from wherever!
If he took a job-
He was going to finish it.
For his sake-
And his daughters.
The only family left in his life.
Her last memento!
And that's why-
It took a while. It took a while for him to get to this stage.
This was his last job.
