A Little While Later, in Front of the Storehouse

I stood out the front of the storehouse and watched Geraint fly away, his unique pigeon-like call and the flapping of his wings dissipating into the air along with him. He packed his belly full of water and beans, and with his energy levels replenished, he was on his way back to Eldan.

I’d put my letters into Geraint’s bag along with a document signed to confirm that I’d received the ones that Eldan sent me, and it was likely that they’d reach him by evening. In my letters I said that we would accept the dogkin under a few minor conditions, and wrote a report on Aymer and what she was doing from here on out. As you might have guessed, she was going to make Iluk Village her home.

“Here’s to a bright future, Sir Dias,” said the mousekin as she sat on my shoulder.

When I’d talked to her back at the yurt, Aymer had told me about her circumstances and how she ended up with the other hopping mousekin, and then out of nowhere she’d told me that she wanted to live in Iluk Village. She wanted to stay here. I hadn’t seen that coming at all, so I asked her why.

“Well, erm, I want to stay with Senai and Ayhan,” she’d replied, “it’s their power—erm, I mean their future that I’m worried about. I’d like to keep watch over them as they mature. I know how to read and write, and I also know basic mathematics, so I’m certain I’ll be helpful! You could even make me their teacher! But I’m capable of so much more than just that, and I’ll do the best I can to support the village in my own way, so I do hope you’ll allow me to stay!”

Aymer had been all out of sorts and dejected when she’d first been discovered, but when she opened up to me about what she wanted, her ears and her tail stood on end as if they were brimming with her ardent wish. She was resolute, that much was for sure, but all the same I explained to her that Eldan was preparing to send the hopping mousekin back home, and that meant she’d be able to return with them. But even that didn’t change Aymer’s mind. She had been set on living in Iluk.

I had given it a good think. Her soul appraisal had come up blue, and she was already good friends with Senai and Ayhan. From the very start she hadn’t been a part of the attack on me. Rather, she’d tried to stop it. Then there was the fact that she was smart and she really wanted to stay here. I simply didn’t have a reason to turn her down.

So, I took Aymer around the village and introduced her to everyone. When I announced that she wanted to live with us, pretty much everyone was happy to have her as part of the village. The only person who wasn’t happy was Alna, who hated mice and rats and vermin of all sorts.
