We’d given Eldan pretty much free rein, but we weren’t just going to leave him to his own devices and make him wander about without an escort. So while Eldan’s guard set up camp, me and Alna decided to show Eldan around Iluk Village. We told Klaus and the dogkin to tell the villagers we were coming, and then we headed south, to show Eldan our fields.

The village square was of course closer than the fields, but given the time, we knew that everyone would be busy preparing dinner, so we figured we’d come back around to the square when things were a bit quieter and more relaxed.

Eldan was looking every which way, all excited about the village, and when we got to the fields, I pointed out all the produce and did my best to explain things.

“We made these fields with the tools you gave us,” I said. “You can see our reservoir over there, but right now we’ve got enough river water that we don’t need to rely on it. We planted the seeds you gave us, and thanks to all the summer sun they’re coming along real nice.”

Eldan looked closely at the fields while I spoke, and he squinted his eyes and made sure he was really seeing what he thought he was seeing before he replied.

“S-Sir Dias, that is all well and good, but...why in the world have these fields taken these shapes?”

“Oh, that,” I said. “Everyone finds that the most interesting...”

The fields were all perfectly circular. When we’d made the fields and planted the seeds, we’d only had the one circle, but as we’d expanded that field we now had three circles, side by side. The circles ran from one end of the field to the other, through both my fields and the ones that Grandma Chiruchi and Grandma Tara took care of.

No matter how much we’d all mulled it over, we didn’t have any idea how to explain the circles, so we plain gave up and accepted that things were going to just be the way they were. I told Eldan as much, and his brow got all furrowed with thought for a time until he decided that he wasn’t going to think too hard about it either.

“Well, as long as all the produce is coming along well,” he said, looking once more over the fields.

Alna and I thought it prudent to keep moving the tour along, so we headed to the stables, which were between the fields and the village square. The stables had been expanded recently, and the horses were resting after having just been fed. The white ghee had been sheared to help them in the summer heat, and they were fast asleep. Eldan made sure to have a good look at all of them, and he smiled as he went by.

“I’m so glad to see them all looking so healthy,” he said with a relieved smile. “There’s a healthy sheen to their coats, and they’re eating well and looking plump; they all look very happy here.
