Upon arriving at the port, Alka saw Siegert swiftly carrying four packed sacks of golden wheat. Siegert placed them in the cargo hold at the stern of the merchant ship. As Siegert was returning, he spotted Alka watching him. His face lit up with pleasant surprise, and he ran over.
"Alka, you're back!"
Alka smiled as he approached, embraced him briefly, and patted Siegert on the shoulder. He pointed to the rather thick leather wrist guard on Siegert's arm. Alka had already keenly noticed that the leather wrist guard encased the golden Magic Bracelet he had given Siegert.
"How is it? This thing is quite handy, isn't it?"
Hearing Alka's words, Siegert looked at his arm and touched the leather wrist guard. He said with a smile, "Of course. I would even say it's very useful."
"Good to hear that it's useful."
"This isn't the place to talk. Let's head back first. Mom's still at home; she's mentioned you several times."
