Ruined building changed greatly. They did good work and after all that time spend with traveling, fighting and slacking around drunken it was nice change to have solid work. Of course Xellos complained about blisters, Val was trying to overcome his fear from high and fell from roof so he was doing almost nothing for last two weeks because of his broken arm. Only D seems to be satisfied with his work, and he did most of it.

Now was most of their home as good as new. In basic floor there was big pub and kitchen, in first floor was eight guest rooms and under roof they had their rooms and two small empty rooms that was filled with garbage and tools now.

They just needed to build up some furniture, prepare rooms and bring goods to start with it. Bandits forgot many interesting things behind and even their loot so they had some money to begin with.

„Bonjour monsieurs! Moi am home!"

„Heya Xel, did ye bring some nails from Port?"

„Non, you said nothing about nails, Moi just spoke with that guy that lead food caravan to Fortress, he will stop here every Monday and bring us food and drink. It was hard but at the end he promised to bring even some wine. And moi met that crazy chameleon guy, he tried to sell ma about fifty pieces of junk but I convicted him to try to get some useful things, If he will be lucky we can stop there next week. And moi ordered at the market almost everything on list. They wasn't sure about some things, with that all new exiles is there quite chaos."

„Damn tha's bad, we don't have any more nails."

„Yes but... you was talking about chaos down there, why? There was always exiles from eastern continent."

„Oui but now with all that ships from Seyrune there are ten more of them than usual."

„Seyrune? Did something happened there?"

„You are interested in that? Well moi was talking with one of them. He said that he was exiled about two months ago by some rebel organization behind king's back. But he said that it might end with civil war."

„Ye look worried, ye have some friends there?"

„... I had."

„It was great place, maybe little too just and white and so but they got great ice cream and nice people, they don't mind even guy as you, didn't they?"

„... yes. Well we can do nothing about it and it is many years since I was there anyway."

„Oui ma too. Every place changes."

„I don't think tha' wasteland changes a lot too..."

„That's non true, every time you'll find new bones there."

„So what about that goods?"

„They should have most of it next Monday, they even offered mon cart but..."

„But..."

„We can't afford something that would pull that cart so..."

„So?"

„Ye 'r goin' for it."

„...fine."

„What?"

„Wha'?"

„I said fine."

Demon answered and left.

„He didn't even tried to force us into some help with it..."

„Ye... weird..."

He stopped at the door and turned back.

„And while I will be in Port you two can dig that cellar that we need as food storage."

„Damn..."
