As the sun rose above the horizon Jillas came out the front of the mace & vase shop to put out the open sign.
"Ah what a beautiful day!" he said as he look at the sky.
Inside Gravos was putting the new maces on the shelves as Fillia finished making breakfast.
" Jillas! Gravos!" she called "breakfast is ready!"
Gravos and Jillas hurried up to the table where Filla placed warm toast and spreads, each one was given a glass of juice, a fork, a knife and a complementary chocolate. Filla then brewed up some of her wonderful tea and served a cup to each of them.
Filla took a sip of her tea, "So Jillas," she said " did you find the antique pots from the ruin yet?"
Jillas smiled "Of course I did boss!" he said with a cheerful grin " I left them right by the fernus last night!"
Filla gave a grin that shone more then the sun, " thank you very much Jillas" she leaned over and patted his head.
"Yawn" came the yawn of a 4 or 5 year old, "good morning mummy"
"Oh good morning Val!" Filla said cheerfully to the child, "and how was your night may I ask?"
"IT WAS GREAT!!" he said with a grin the size a banana "I had a dream dat Jiwas gave me a toy foxy with big ears!" he imitated ears on his head using his hands.
"Oh how very sweet," Filla chuckled.
"Then then, Gravos gave me a big big sword to cut a loaf of bread as big as the world!" he said jumping of the chair and pretending the play with a sword, " and then you mummy, you gave me a hug and told me not to worry and that I could do anything." He said sweetly at the end looking at the floor.
Later that day the shop is in full motion Filla serving customers, Gravos reaching for the things no one can reach and Jillas oquiping the customers children and also planning deliveries, but the best of all was Val. He was carrying around jars almost the same height of himself.
Fillia looked at him with pride, he was extremely short and he still had his half mazoku features, such as the hairstyle and the horn, but at times his tail would pop out and swing form side the side like a happy dog as he plodded around the store.
That night when Jillas was taking the sign in Val ran up to him, "Lemmie help with dat, " he said as he carried the sign that's was slightly larger then himself inside.
"Thank you Master ValGaav!" Jillas said
"Val." Val begun, "ValGaav?" he tilted his head to one side.
"Oh err um you know its starting to get cold, hows about we go ups to the bathroom and have a bath?" Jillas said as he tried to cover up what he had said before.
"Ummm, " Val thought, "ok!"
After the bath Val got in to his PJ's and got in his bed.
"Mummy, " Val asked, "can you tell me the story about the blue guy, the princess, the dumb guy, the cosen one and the dumbass?"
"Umm of course," Fillia spluttered trying to remember a time when she mentioned Xellos being a dumbass or even a jackass but she would not decline such a cute face, "it was a long time before you were born back then I was a shrine maiden of the fire dragon king…"
