Foundations of Loyalty      

That night, Druger and the others were resting when Rain approached him to discuss the future construction of the village.

"Druger, may I have a bit of your time? I want to talk about future expansions and the placement of roads and networks of pathways."

"You're the lord of the Port Town now. You should go slow with that booze," Rain commented.

Druger laughed heartily. "I need this more than ever. Becoming the lord of that town is nothing but a headache! The paperwork just keeps piling up every day. Coming here and constructing things is the only time I can unwind."

"So, who's running the town while you're away?" Rain asked.
