You've been traveling for the better part of a 4 00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:23,199 day. It takes about a day to make the full journey, so you're getting close. 5 00:00:23,199 --> 00:00:30,000 You're up at the bow. As you crest a wave, the ship lands and grounds a bend, 6 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,840 and you see Kingstown up ahead in front of you. 7 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:39,200 It is, it's been a minute. I have not seen Kingstown in quite some time. 8 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:43,200 Oh, it's only been a little bit for me, but how long for you? 9 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:52,719 A little over five years.

She lost a lot of weight since the last time you saw her. 581 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,319 So yeah, yeah, yeah, things have been things been going really well. 582 00:25:45,519 --> 00:25:50,319 It's yeah, it's didn't want to share share it in 583 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:55,519 in the in a letter, but, um, your your dad's not doing so well. 584 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,960 So I've had to take a few extra shifts just to kind of make ends meet. 585 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,039 But, um, you know, that's okay. 586 00:26:03,039 --> 00:26:05,119 That's that's nothing to worry about. 587 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,200 Um, it's it's so good to see you. 588 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:08,000 How's the shop? 589 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,359 The shop is going well. 590 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:13,119 Actually, it's part of the reason I've I've decided to come back. 591 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:17,440 I need to need to access some of the literature at the school, um, 592 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:22,079 potentially see if I can procure some of the books and bring them back with me. 593 00:26:22,079 --> 00:26:26,960 I think I I think I might have some sort of an apprentice, 594 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,920 but not quite doing magic the same way I do. 595 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,240 So I don't know how to teach them. 596 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,039 So I need the books to kind of figure it out and 597 00:26:35,039 --> 00:26:38,960 bridge the gap between what they can do and what I can do. 598 00:26:39,759 --> 00:26:41,039 Wait, who's your apprentice? 599 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:43,519 Uh, Alydin. 600 00:26:43,519 --> 00:26:45,599 I feel like, oh, my God, of course it is. 601 00:26:45,599 --> 00:26:46,079 Oh, my God. 602 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:47,759 Just ignore that. 603 00:26:47,759 --> 00:26:52,400 I said that I feel, oh, my just head down in the menu, like never to speak again. 604 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,319 But yeah, that's that's why I'm back in town. 605 00:26:54,319 --> 00:26:58,880 And it's kind of kind of going to be, I mean, a short shortish visit 606 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,839 because I left Alydin to run my shop. 607 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,440 While I'm gone, trust it'll be fine, you know, 608 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,079 but there's always going to be the side of me that's nervous 609 00:27:08,799 --> 00:27:14,000 leaving it with somebody else after a decade of not having anybody else. 610 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,440 Well, it's nice that it affords you the ability to come come do these runs 611 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:22,160 rather than rather than have some of the some of the some of the folks on the ships. 612 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:23,440 Well, it's come. 613 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,640 I'm trying to take my note from you in that, like, you know, 614 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:32,880 you were with Dad when he was running his business and he did not take care of himself. 615 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:34,560 You told me when I started that business, 616 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,280 you are the most important customer. 617 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:38,560 Take care of yourself first. 618 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:40,560 I've made sure to do that. 619 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,320 So well, it shows. 620 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,560 I mean, it's she puts her hand to your face. 621 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:48,320 It's like you've been doing a little bit too much. 622 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:49,280 It maybe looks like. 623 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:54,400 Yeah, you look like you're taking care of, though. 624 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,480 And that's that's what's important. 625 00:27:56,799 --> 00:27:59,360 And an apprentice is like next step up. 626 00:27:59,360 --> 00:28:03,759 Like, you know, and you're teaching them and you can always figure things out. 627 00:28:03,759 --> 00:28:06,720 And I'm sure they'll let you take the books out of the library. 628 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,680 You know, yeah, be damned, right? 629 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:10,720 Like, you'll bring them back. 630 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,200 You had you had a stellar record while you were there. 631 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:13,759 Oh, yeah. 632 00:28:13,759 --> 00:28:18,400 And I mean, even if even if I need to have a copy purchased and and sent over, 633 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:19,200 that's perfectly fine. 634 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:20,720 I just need to know what I'm looking for. 635 00:28:21,279 --> 00:28:27,279 But how bad is he doing? 636 00:28:29,279 --> 00:28:34,720 I mean, he hasn't been able to work in some some some almost a year. 637 00:28:35,279 --> 00:28:41,600 He just kind of I'd say keeps the house, but he he barely does that. 638 00:28:42,559 --> 00:28:44,720 He doesn't get out of bed much anymore. 639 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:50,720 I mean, he never never really brought up a lot of his other family. 640 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,400 He doesn't have other people that can take care of him. 641 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:56,240 You could just come out to Vintersmouth, just move out there. 642 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:57,839 I like I'll figure out something. 643 00:28:57,839 --> 00:29:02,799 I mean, I'm living in the space above my store, so that's not really going to work. 644 00:29:02,799 --> 00:29:05,759 But I've made I've made friends out there. 645 00:29:05,759 --> 00:29:07,360 There's a community out there. 646 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,079 You could it's no offense to Kingstown. 647 00:29:10,079 --> 00:29:11,680 You know, grew up here, loved it. 648 00:29:11,759 --> 00:29:17,120 But yeah, you know, no, no, Kingstown's been Kingstown's been it's been good. 649 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,400 That's been good to us for for as long as we've been here. 650 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:21,519 That's that's good to know. 651 00:29:21,519 --> 00:29:25,039 You know, I'll I'll talk to your dad and no, not him. 652 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:26,480 He can't come. 653 00:29:27,039 --> 00:29:27,840 That's my place. 654 00:29:29,039 --> 00:29:30,160 I'd prefer if he didn't. 655 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,320 OK, OK, I'll think on it. 656 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:35,920 How long are you in town for? 657 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:36,960 At least a couple days. 658 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:42,480 OK, well, obviously, you'll you'll you know, this won't be the last time that 659 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:43,279 we'll see each other. 660 00:29:43,279 --> 00:29:46,640 So let me think on it today and I'll think on it before you go. 661 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:51,680 I'll give you I'll give you a firm decision on what what what I can do. 662 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,319 There's got to be somebody else who can take care of them. 663 00:29:54,319 --> 00:29:55,759 You've put in your time. 664 00:29:55,759 --> 00:30:00,160 I'm not willing to give any time and I'm not going to mince words about it, mom. 665 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,240 That's not going to change. 666 00:30:02,799 --> 00:30:07,279 I knew and he he you the two of you. 667 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:13,039 Not many people see eye to eye with him or he never sees eye to eye with them. 668 00:30:13,039 --> 00:30:14,799 I guess is probably the more appropriate. 669 00:30:14,799 --> 00:30:16,880 That's because he's usually cross-eyed drunk. 670 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:18,960 Yeah, yeah. 671 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:19,599 Anyway. 672 00:30:19,599 --> 00:30:20,480 Hey, Cav. 673 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:21,599 How you doing, buddy? 674

I'll be back with those in just a sec. 681 00:30:34,799 --> 00:30:38,000 OK, I just I just have one question bizarre. 682 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:38,319 Yeah. 683 00:30:39,599 --> 00:30:40,960 What is

mind has got this right. 687 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,480 But it's like it's like a curd in a way. 688 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,160 Yeah, this sounds awesome. 689 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,440 And I believe it's kind of fried. 690 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:03,120 Maybe like a fried curd with some kind of gravy on top of it. 691 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:05,680 It's got the gravy. 692 00:31:05,680 -->
