29 Chapter 29 The Circus Is Coming to Town (1/2)
Airow woke up and realized he couldn't ever remember sleeping before.Turning his head, he saw Grey, Guit, Cherry and Argen all still asleep.Sitting up, he looked around, and found they were in a large room.With a sniff, he knew immediately they were in Bob's Inn.This was the only place where the smell of whiskey was in the air.
Climbing to his feet, he saw that there was a table already prepared with food on it, for them to eat breakfast.He couldn't stomach the thought of eating and turned away from it, but stopped short when Bob stepped out of the shadows in the corner.
”I will need for you to pay for the girl.”
”Oh, right,” said Airow, reaching into his pouch for the coins.”Do you know where everyone else went?”
Bob raised an eyebrow, ”Of course I know.”
Airow rubbing his head and then chuckled.”Never mind, I don't want to have to pay for that answer.”
Bob chuckled.”It's fine.I don't mind giving you this information on the house.The guild master, Omen brought you guys here, and said that he was taking everyone else to his guild.It's located on the northern end of the town, where the least amount of damage is.”
”You wouldn't happen to have any other types of food?” he asked, glancing back at the table.
”I do, but it wouldn't be included in the free stuff I agreed to provide.It's not easy to come by.”
”How much would it be?” he asked, wondering if he talked to Grey about it, if she would be okay with him buying manna.
”It would be a silver piece a meal.I believe you angels only eat once a day.”
”That's true.I will have to speak with Grey about it.Thank you.”
Bob nodded, then taking the coins Airow had given him, he stepped back into the shadows and disappeared.
”Mmm, something smells tasty,” said Cherry, sitting up.She looked in her mid-teens, maybe fifteen?She spied the table of food and jumped up with a gasp of delight.
Guit woke next, rolling from his bed with a huff, and joined her at the table.
”What's going on?” asked Grey, rubbing her head as if she had a headache.
”I believe Guit and Cherry are having a contest to see who can stuff the most pancake into their mouths,” said Argen, rolling over and pulling his blanket over his head.
”After everyone eats, we should head over to the guild and meet the guild master,” said Airow, sitting back down on the edge of his bed.
”Would that be Blaze or Wes?” asked Grey sitting up.
”No, Bob said the man's name was Omen.”
”Great, one more name to keep up with,” she muttered, pulling her boots on and heading over to the table.
”Grey,” started Airow, standing up as she turned back.
”Yes?”
”Would it be alright if I bought some manna from Bob?He said it would cost a silver a day…”
She looked at him for a moment, then slapped herself in the face.”That's why you haven't been wanting to eat!I'm so stupid!”
”No, I can survive on this food, it's just…”
”No, Airow, you are miserable.You've been craving manna every since we got stuck down here.Of course, you can have it.As long as we have the coin, you may always have it.”
