Durin spent a day helping Pool with work, feeling utterly despondent by the end.
All sorts of nonsense keeps coming his way. Are these subordinates really bringing their brains to work? Am I paying them every month just to feed these fools?
Oddly enough, Anta could handle these matters surprisingly well. According to her, these officials are simply used to letting Pool make decisions—after all, Pool is known for his reputation as a Sage.
This made Durin quite melancholic—he gave his all to resolve these work-related issues, yet he was internally and deeply questioned by these officials about his work capability.
Alright, purely in terms of work ability, Durin indeed doesn't match up to his elder brother Pool, but can't these folks at least consider their own heads given all the kills Durin has to his name?
