Going witht the flow

The next day Astrophos returned to the manor for the first time in almost a year. He looked at the looming structure and sighed before he took a step inside. He was immediately ushered to the young master's study where Cygnus was waiting.

 

"How was your work in the bakery? Do you like it?" Cygnus asked after the man settled down. He pushed back his chair and went to sit on the vacant chair in front of the man.

 

"It's surprisingly peaceful that I got used to it. I enjoyed it." Astrophos answered followed by a nod.

 

Cygnus laughed because of the hidden meaning behind those words. "I'm sorry if I interrupted your peaceful life. It's just that I need you to work a bit before I return you to the bakery."

 

"What is it then?" He frowned. He had no problems working in the bakery because the atmosphere was warm and homey.
