"Good, coming to the last point. On the happy side, we solved one riddle, and I think the second should be right also. we only have one half of the third, but I think I already have an idea...we just need the second half. that leads me to a little problem tho. we only have 16 candy points yet. I ´dont really know till when the shop is opened, bt I guess till the 31 first or so. I think this will change tho, so dont make such luóng faces."
After a little more chatter and waiting for Aki, who really did not come in time, Shadow finally sent them home...everyone expect for Seth. Reeve took a worried look over his shoulder, before he snuck out of the door, but Seth only shook his head slightly. After everyone was out, Shadow sat on the table, sighted and looked at him. "Come here..." Seth strolled over, and changed to Human form again, trying to read in her eyes. "let me see your hand, please" The young man showed her his bandaged right hand, and Shadow carefully unwrapped it. the burn was nasty, but not woringly bad. She nursed it in silence, and made him even more unconfortable.
"Listen...I uhm...I'm sorry about what happened at the shop...I just" But shadow only looked at him, now very angrily. "Damn it Seth!" she snarled, pulling the bandages a little too firm over his burnt hand."Sorry... But you cant just get in there roaring drunk! what the hell where you thinking? you can be happy that Elie is so understanding" Seth looked at the ground.
"I said I'm sorry...i kinda...drank that much to numb the pain I gue..." "Oh shure, to numb the pain. ever heard of those little painkillers? and what happened at the show the night before anyway?" He did not answer on this one ,and Shadow calmed down a little.
"I'm just worried about you, you hear me? I care for you, and lately you seem a little out of it"
He looked at her in return, smiling a little smile.
"I'm okay, just a little too less sleep. dont worry."Shadow let go of his freshly bandaged hand, then opened the mouth to say something. Just then Aki strolled
into the room.
"Am I late? the carrots where speaking so loud i couldnt hear the alarm clock..."she said with wide eyes, guit written all over her face. "eh jeah, you missed the whole planning"
"Oh." Aki stopped and scratched her head uneasily, scanning them with her white eyes.
"uhm...well...""I've got to get going" Seth said "you wanna come? I can give you an overview of the plannings tonight"Akiri nodded happily, and strolled out with him "
I've seen a huge rabbit today, it was as big as you!""really? wow, thats...pretty awesome" "...jeah it had..." And their voices lost themselves in the night.Shadow looked after them, a little sad smile on her face. She found it amusing that Seth was actually nice to Aki, that was pretty unlike him. //Oh Seth...take care of yourself...//. Then she tidied up the rest of the food that she brought, and vanished too... in two days they would meet again.
