38

At the Warsaw airport, I felt Cornelius's sadness.

— Will you let him go?—I asked.— To be honest, I was sure that he would ask for freedom, I practically knew that Lukasz wanted to take this ship… Does he have a family?—

— Yes... I need to let him go.… He has a wife, an adult daughter (she was only ten when we left the planet) and another daughter was on the way then. I know how much he misses you...—Cornelius sighed.— I hope that you and I will also fly to Gloriaterra… When we find the ship, of course...—

They looked at us with surprise that we were flying without luggage.

— Yes, I think it looked very strange.… I should have brought some things with me...—I said.

— What kind of things? Your stuff takes up a quarter of your closet.—Cornelius laughed.— If only you would fill your suitcase with your toys… You have more of them than you can imagine! —

— Cornelius!— I nudged my beloved with my shoulder.
