Of Ore and A Fire Pit (Ch.198)

Neveah arrived back at the makeshift playroom to find it completely empty, Roman was nowhere to be seen and neither was his spell book.

"I leave for just a moment and he is already up to something." Neveah grunted beneath her breath as she searched through the small cottage.

"Ro?" Neveah called as she moved from one room to the other.

Neveah then recalled her words about the barn and heaved a sigh, heading out to the barn.

"Roman...stop playing around!" Neveah called out as she ducked into the barn and still yet Roman was nowhere to be found.

Neveah's brows furrowed into a frown as she turned around the side of the cottage to the front where Trevin loaded up his cart with barrels which he would take out to the mountains to fill up with ice.

"Oh, Veah. Want to head out to town with me, get some tools from the blacksmith? Most of my tools are rusted." Trevin asked Neveah.
