My father came waddling into the cave, he shook some sand off himself (probably came from my rampage earlier), and he began his lengthy mayor greeting.
"Ah Gill! How are you son? It's been a long time! How was your trip? Did you hear the bell? Lovely wasn't it? Things began to look up ever since that new rancher came around. Bells started ringing one after the other! Anyway, I must get back to work now, I'm planning on holding a Harvest Festival you know!"
And with that, he scurried away.
Honestly, I didn't even hear a single word.
