The Journey IV: Portrait

"Miss! Play with us," A child begged Emelia as he tucked her cloak down, not letting go, "Let's play, please?" The child begged once more. But Emelia had to turn the child down. She thinks the children would find her boring. Not only that, she didn't know how to play the game.

"You kids! Don't bother her," A woman called, scaring the children off to play their own games. The woman was chubby and had a piece of cloth tied around her forehead, assuming her hair was getting in her way while washing the laundry, "You okay young lady? Sorry, the kids bothered you. Those kids never learn at all."

Emelia smiled, "It's alright. It's good to see them energetic." What matters is seeing the children happy. The woman placed her hands around Emelia's shoulder, "Do you know how to cook? For some reason, we're having a celebration tonight."
