Bartlett was sitting next to a basswood dining table, his voice going from high to low as he asked the dwarf mage sitting beside him - Theodore Goldbright. Then he raised his head and gave a friendly smile to the house's hosts who looked over after hearing the sound - a humble-looking middle-aged couple with dark-skinned complexion.
The hosts responded with a smile and turned their attention back to preparing dinner for the several people present. Meanwhile, the two children with identical appearances, yet indistinguishable genders, clung to their mother's apron, their four curious and slightly frightened eyes watching Bartlett.
"To be exact, it should be, um..." The dwarf mage, sitting in the chair next to Bartlett, pondered for a moment with his head down, "37 days from now, yes, not counting today." There was even a wooden block between him and the chair so that the little fellow could reach the dining table.
