Soon enough, Puck was in Trentwood, and his bindle was laid out on the floor of his new home.

He was a little hesitant to unpack it, though. What if he found nothing here? The thought had plagued him the entire ride here, and now, it was freaking him right the heck out. Yeah, what if he went through all the trouble of unpacking and investigating just to find no leads here? Then, he'd have to pack everything back up again!

…Maybe some flan would help settle his nerves, he thought.

Right as he was about to go find some, however, the Trentwood town tune played from the doorbell, and the door opened and closed.

Soon enough, he was speaking to Mayor Maddie. She seemed nice, he thought as he stated he'd be more available tomorrow after all that unpacking was done.

When she left, he realized he'd forgotten perhaps the most crucial question; that of whether Maddie knew anything of a Mayor Rachael. The realization hit him like a stray model airplane, terrifying him like one would as well.

He also realized the notion of the asking itself was a little scary, too. What if Maddie thought he was insane and kicked him out or something? What if she started hitting him with her net before that? That was a common tale among villagers who had an itinerary of towns they'd lived in before.

…No! He shook his head and took a brave stance. He couldn't give up! He couldn't let the odds bring him down! Why had he left Kunaiobi, after all? For nothing?!

…Flan. Puck sighed. He needed that flan. So he left the house to find it.
