CHAPTER FOUR
The walk along the riverbank took its toll.
Having traveled for so long on a wagon, though he wasnât exhausted, Lawrence found it difficult to keep pace with Col.
He wondered how his feet were supposed to keep up this speed.
It made him long for the days when he had been accustomed to traveling on foot and could travel twice as fast as the envious wagon-bound merchants if he was in a hurry.
âThereâs no gain in hurrying so,â Lawrence finally said.
âYes, sir,â the boy replied meekly, slowing his pace.
Ragusaâs suddenly lightened vessel had headed downriver with Holo aboard and was soon out of sight. The boats behind it were all larger, and because they were all being stopped at the checkpoint, the river was very quiet.
The calm riverâs surface was slick looking and shiny, like the slime trail left behind a snail, and it was amusing to watch.
Lawrence almost wanted to say that it looked as though glass had been laid down on the earth, but that seemed a bit exaggerated.
Suddenly a fish splashed through the surface, ruining the glassy look.
âUm, Masterâ?â The little fish beside Lawrence took the opportunity to make its own splash.
âWhat is it?â
âAbout the eniâ¦â
âAh. Youâre wondering if thereâs any money to be made?â asked Lawrence sharply, perhaps out of habit from spending time with Holo. Col nodded, face sober.
The boy thought making money was shameful.
Lawrence faced ahead, inhaling the cold air through his nose and exhaling from his mouth. âI doubt it.â
âIâ¦see.â
Col was wearing Holoâs robe; when he slumped in dejection, it looked like Holo slumping in dejection.
Lawrence shocked himself by reaching his hand out, but Col seemed only slightly surprised when his head was patted.
âThough I wouldnât have guessed youâd be having trouble with money.â Lawrence pulled his hand back from Colâs head, opening and closing his fingers several times.
He had expected it to feel different from Holoâs, but apart from the lack of ears, it felt much the same.
Seen from behind, the only difference Colâs figure cut would be the lack of the bulge that Holoâs tail created.
âWhat do you mean?â
âHmm? Just what I said. Even among wandering scholars, the really clever ones have more money than they can carry and drink wine every day.â
It was a bit of an exaggeration, but there were definitely students who earned enough to pay to hear a dozen lectures from a professor clear to the end.
Col had become involved in bookselling because he didnât have enough for even a single lesson.
âUh, erâ¦I guess there are some like that, yes.â
âHave you ever wondered how they get their money?â
ââ¦Surely they steal it from others, I should think.â
When looking at someone whoâs achieved something beyond imagining, itâs easy to assume his dishonesty.
One simply concludes heâs using some fundamentally different method.
Colâs estimation this time was a bit low.
âI expect theyâre earning money much the same way you do.â
âHuh?â Col looked at Lawrence with an expression of disbelief.
It was the same expression Holo used when Lawrence managed a truly excellent verbal comeback.
