Chapter 82: No, not my potato plant
Derek groaned into his hands. "Three days. Just three days. That’s all I ask. No more drama. No more sudden deaths. No more kaelening."
Kaelen beamed. "You used me as a verb. I’m flattered."
Derek silently handed him a second grinding plate.
"Grind harder."
"Wait, wait, I’ve got treasures to share!" Kaelen suddenly declared, springing to his feet like a man trying to dodge responsibility.
Neal paused mid-grind. Alira tilted her head. Derek looked up with the most exhausted glare he could muster.
"...You remembered now?" Derek asked dryly.
Kaelen beamed. "Hey, I didn’t want to interrupt the vibe. You all looked so focused. Like monks. Angry monks."
Neal rubbed his temples. "Why did you go out again?"
Alira raised a brow. "Treasure hunting. Obviously."
"Oh." Neal blinked. "Right."
