Taking A Break

After a week, Rin was still unable to find Laurance. She had thought that he would be here. As she was thinking, a thought passed her mind. What if Laurance wad no longer at the capital and had returned to her village only to find destruction and maybe he thought that she had already died? It was possible. Shaking her head, Rin got rid of the thought. " Rin!! Table 2 wants to order. Can you head over there? I'm busy." " Coming!" replied Rin.

In the afternoon, Rin had decided to take a break from finding Laurance for now. She wanted to buy new clothes as hers was starting to be too small for her. This time, she left Hero at home as he was tired. She went to the shopping district and found clothes of all kind, fancy, simple, plain any kind you can think of. She had decided to buy the plain clothes as she liked those kind of clothes better. She had brought 40 copper coins with her. And one dress costed 10 copper coins. Rin only bought 2 dresses as she wanted to save some money for entertainment.

After that, bring the clothes with her in a bag, Rin headed to the toy store to buy a new toy for Hero. She went and found a rubber ball for Hero. Just as she was about to buy it, someone took it from her hands. The cashier looked troubled. The person who took it said, " This is perfect for my son! I'll take it!" The cashier replied," Excuse me, madam, someone had already took the ball. Please wait for the supplier to restock." The woman smiled and said," She has not bought it, had she? No, someone like her cannot buy something like this." At first, Rin was going to let the woman have it but after listening to her words, she changed her mind. Rin took the ball from the woman's hand and looked at the cashier saying, " I'll pay for it now. How much is it?" The cashier replied," 30 copper coins". Rin had not expected the ball to be so expensive. She had only 20 copper coins left. How could she pay for it?

Just as Rin was about to change her mind, she heard, " Rin?". Turning towards the sound, Rin saw Kai. She then asked," Kai? What are you doing here? I thought that you still had work to do." Kai replied," I was taking a break and saw you here. I overheard the conversation. I figured that I should help you." As he was speaking, Kai gave the cashier a silver coin and said," Keep the change." And so Kai and Rin left the place leaving the cashier and the mean woman shocked at the silver coin that he had threw like it was nothing.

Rin seeing this Kai for the first time asked," That was so cool Kai! I mean you gave them a silver coin and didn't even asked for any change. Are you really Kai?!" Seeing Rin's expression, Kai laughed and said," Perhaps I should tell you the truth"
