"He said he has an answer, but what is his answer? Does he feel the same way? Of course he does! Why else would he just leave me high and dry? What if he's lying? What if he doesn't have an answer but said that anyway?"
"Adlet"
I snap out of my thoughts to see Maura standing beside me.
"Ya?"
"You haven't come in, it's almost midnight and you haven't eaten anything since this morning."
"I just want to make sure that this is all clean."
Maura sighed. "Here" She handed me an apple. I set down the brush and took it, "It looks so clean, cleaner then it should be, is it shining?"
"Please come in before dawn breaks." I nod. I grab my brush and continue scrubbing as she walks away.
"Why am I staying out so late? Normally I would be sleeping or creating new tools right now, so why am I out here?... I don't want to be around Hans... I don't want to see him... But I want his answer... I want to be around him... I should go in... I should, I need his answer, OK, I'm going."
I set down the brush and walk to one of the many houses outside the temple. I walk inside my house to find a piece of ham on the table.
"This has to be just placed, the ham isn't rotted and it doesn't smell, did Maura make this? She's the only who can, and would, send me ham. But she visited me two hours ago and by this time it would've gone bad, Flamie wouldn't send me this and neither would Chamot, I doubt that Goldov would ever do this, Hans wouldn't do this, that I know for sure, he's sleeping, that I know for sure. But.. I have been having hallucinations lately.. Just to be safe I'll eat something else."
Going by that thought, I grab some other food, something quick and filling.
"I should get to sleep, Maura will want me to help prepare for the festival."
I finally get to lay down in my bed, after hours of work, I can finally rest, thank God...
