Well that wasn't exactly what I was hoping for. I really was expecting that she would be alright but the results obviously proved me wrong. I still beat myself up about it, even now. But I'm glad because I wouldn't have ever met with Will. Boy, he sure did work me hard into the ground! I swear, when Arald said that I would be assisting him I wasn't expecting to do his dang house work! Laugh or smirk all you want but that little, ramshackle cabin of his was hard to clean every single day!
"This pot isn't clean enough.", "Thanks for leaving footprints on the floor after you attempted to wash it.", "You may have the skills to become a servant. After you gain a few years of experience, of course."
Work, work, work, and no play, I couldn't survive! I miraculously did, though. For a long time, I thought that my bones would simply fall apart. However, that all changed after I eavesdropped on him. Yes, yes, learn from your mistakes and blah, blah, blah! Do you really take me as that type of guy? I didn't think so. And if you said yes, then let me leave you with this: I just happened to listen to a little piece of information and I decided to follow Will on his little, mini adventure. And did it hold surprises for me. Did it really.
