Appraising The Wand And The Stocking

Finally I'm back at Cassau! The first place I'll go is obviously my home first. I have been away from Daniel too often and too long. Did I really take him in so other people can take care of him?

Good thing back at Hirugas I bought some candies for the kids that can't be found here. I hope that's enough to make them happy.

"I'm home!"

I said as I entered the house. Then Sonia appears in front of me and Ian and the others greet me.

"Welcome home, Roy. How was your journey?" Sonia asked.

"It was good. But I don't want to do that too often. Maybe once in a while." I replied.

"Master, please have some tea."

There at the table, Lina somehow has prepared a tea for me even though I have just arrived. When did she made it? Or does she know I will return today?

"Thanks, Lina. I missed your tea. Hmm? It's sweeter than the last time." I said.

"After I returned, I practiced more with the help of Ian. How is it?"
