137 – They Came to Bargain

The snow had melted a lot outside. My colonists had already started packing, but Seb was lying relaxed on the fur rug.

That damn procrastinator trait.

"Move your ass, Seb." Leva lightly kicked her friend's leg. "Tomorrow we have to leave."

"Later." Seb covered his yawning mouth. "We're not leaving today, right?"

"Just let him be." Eric, who was walking carrying a pile of leather sheets, stopped. "If he's like that, he can't be helped. Unless he's working for money, he can't force himself to work when he's lazy like this."

Leva snorted, then started packing her things again. Unlike her friends who did it neatly, she stuffed everything she had carelessly into her sack.

As I was about to press the fast-forward button, my eyes accidentally fell on Eric, who was sitting still. His tightly clenched hands pressed against the floor.
