Two Worlds Collide

"To be honest, when you sent me the message that you'd take a bit longer than expected to come back to the village, I felt a great sense of relief after you told me it was fine to close the shop."

Smoothly entering the shop he'd been managing yesterday, Juno had a faint smile on his face as he heard an incredibly familiar sound echo from the rear portion of the shop.

Making his way to the building's workshop portion, the man was soon greeted by the sight of the young man in the midst of forging equipment, seemingly for the sake of replenishing their depleted stock.

Though his eyes were wholly fixated on Valyr's movements, the man continued to speak with a slight chuckle. "In comparison, when you told me that you'd only be away for a day at most, I had to manage the shop for almost another half day on my own."

"Who knew your promises would actually end up having an opposite effect?" said Juno at the end, finding the entire thing quite amusing.
