Chapter 19: License

Having already walked to the mill, added to the soreness from Grober’s attack, Gil was going extra slow. Cam looked back at his brother, who was several steps behind him. Stopping along the path, he waited till Gil was at his side. Reaching down, Cam picked him up like a sack of potatoes.

“Whoa, what are you doing?” Gil asked.

“Well, if I wait for you, it will take us all day,” Cam said.

“Yea, but…” Gil stopped himself.

While Gil thought it was undignified to be carried, he knew it was also the best solution. With his feet off the ground, they made far better time. Reaching the point where they could both see the village ahead of them, Cam put Gil down so they could rest a moment.

After Cam caught his breath and Gil had recovered from being carried, Cam picked him up once more. They went in this fashion through the village until the boys arrived at the Merchant's Guild. There Cam released Gil, and he was once more under his power.

Being carried had allowed Gil to rest, which did him good and put him back to moving at his average pace. With most of the day shot, Gil thought they might as well take their time. Once inside, they climbed the tall staircase to the second floor.

Never one to waste an opportunity, Gil got into the contract line on purpose to see Luna. Cam looked at him, and Gil put one finger up to his lips as if to say be quiet. Cam knew Gil should have gotten into the license line. Any fool knew that.

Eventually, Gil’s position moved to the front of the line, and peering over the counter, Gil saw bright yellow hair again. Breathing in deeply, he steadied himself as best he could. Luna looked down at the boy.

“How can I help you today,” Luna said.

“I just wanted to check on my investment,” Gil said, thinking that sounded better than asking about a license from the contract line.

“Certainly, I will need to gather some information. Please wait for a second,” Luna said.

Looking up Gil’s information much as she had before, Luna returned with a paper for him. Passing it through the small opening, Gil grabbed the page. Looking it over, he could see it hadn’t even been an entire month since he had signed up to loan the Merchant’s Guild some of his money.

“Thank you,” Gil said. “I will also need a business license.”

While it was almost inevitable, Gil would have to change lines. He still thought it worth asking as it kept him at her window longer; besides, maybe Luna could also provide that service? Luna looked over
