They sealed the deal that night. After a little back and forth, they agreed that Leonard would pay half first so Old Marrek could buy the materials already. Then the rest would be given once the job was done.
So, with a heavy heart, Leonard handed over sixty silver coins. He almost didn't wanna let go of the coins. But, of course, he had to. As a result, by the time the money left his hands, his pouch felt painfully light.
When morning came, he was poor again.
"Good thing we still have a few coins left…" Leonard muttered, followed by a loud sigh.
He, Anika, and Gareth are on the way to the market already to start today's work. They couldn't afford to slack off when they barely had enough money to get by for today.
They still had the inn to pay for to extend their days, their food, and also the money for the game.
His shoulders ached at the thought of having to juggle it all at once, but the fire in his chest didn't die. Strangely enough, the others felt the same.
