Chapter 16: Planning a wall
Aric ran out of the house, his face fully flushed red. He was the one that initiated the kiss, so why was he the one acting all flustered?
"Calm down, Aric, calm down. It was just a kiss, nothing more," he said to himself, trying to clear his mind.
The door of the house opened, and Ariel walked out with a smile on her face.
"She seems happy," one of the lesser spirits said to Aric. Because of the kiss, he had even forgotten about their presence, so hearing their voices made him realize they had been there even when he kissed her.
Ariel walked to Aric's back, looked down at him, and spoke. "So, what are we doing today?" she asked.
Aric refused to turn and look at her. He kept his head facing down and spoke, "There's a lot I want to do today. This cabin was only a makeshift place to stay in. I'd like to start really constructing this place," Aric said.
"Hmmm, I'll help you, but will the both of us be enough?" she asked.
"Well, for now, yes, but I feel we will need more hands soon. I have a plan for that already, so don't worry too much," Aric said.
"Also, I want you to know that was my first," she said and turned to leave. Aric's face got flushed again after he heard that. He didn't understand why this was making him flustered this much.
Aric got up, looked at the land they had cleared, the logs of wood, and the tools lying around. He tried to picture what his next step would be, but for that, he needed to know the exact amount of his gold.
