The last day of our vacation dawns with a blustery chill. With all the good weather we’ve enjoyed during our time in the orc village, it was perhaps too much to expect it to continue. I don’t bother setting up the café today. Despite being closed for a day while I was sick, business yesterday was incredible, and we rewarded ourselves with another trip to the fair. This time, while avoiding the pies and sticking to sugary treats doled out by goblins and trolls, we played games and purchased gifts to take home. I managed to settle on a tiny handmade troll doll as a gift for Kassie’s mother for watching Casper while she hunts down gifts to take home to her kids.

By the time we return to our cottage, we’re exhausted, Kassie’s ankles have swollen and we are loaded with all of her souvenirs, even a fancy blade she purchased for Jason. I happen to think it’s the perfect gift for him mostly with the hope that the asshole will cut himself with it, but I keep those thoughts to myself.

Today, however, is just for fun. After venturing out this morning to meet with Orgath while Kassie slept in, I’ve secured permission to return and set up a business, so I know that work can wait until I return. As it is, I know it will take time to properly build my café, which will give me plenty of time to get my things in order and get comfortable here before I have to even think about actual work.

So, we’re spending our time touring the ground and interior of the keep. Kassie hangs by my side eagerly as we follow the guide. She admitted last night to being too intimidated last time we visited to see anything. She was so distracted by nerves and making plans while I did business, she hadn’t even gotten a look at the chieftain and his mate, which astounds me. Nor did she get an opportunity to meet the human queen later either, since we were busy enough to have somehow missed her customary visit.

Unfortunately, we aren’t going to get the opportunity to meet her now either since Orgath and his mate are out of the keep taking care of clan business during the tour. It’s disappointing but I get it. After all, I certainly wouldn’t want to have to try and work with a bunch of curious tourists under foot all day.

“Rotten luck,” Kassie sighs yet again as she admires a particularly large tapestry.

I give her a bemused look. “I still can’t believe that you seriously spaced out during our entire visit here.”

“Hey, I was nervous,” she replies indignantly. “And I had a lot on my mind. Besides, you know business conversations don’t interest me and you were at it for hours, so I just entertained myself with looking at the marvelous tapestries,” she says, gesturing at the tapestry in front of us.

“But I introduced you,” I laugh in protest.

“I do seem to recall hearing that,” she admits, her cheeks coloring with embarrassment.
