Departure

[Ren Hilton POV.]

Descending the stairs, Mrs Penny's warm congratulations greeted me, yet the dorm remained deserted. Engaging in a brief conversation, I soon gathered my bags, readying myself to depart.

Before leaving, I paused and turned back to Mrs Penny, who was reaching for a broomstick. "Mrs Penny," I called out, drawing her puzzled yet amiable gaze. As I approached her, I couldn't help but notice the worn-out edges of the broomstick she held.

"Can I ask you to post some letters for me? I'm in a bit of a hurry, so..." I requested, offering multiple letters for her to take. Her smile widened as she gladly accepted the letters, her old, weathered hands taking them with care. "I'll send them through the guild," she assured me with a tone of sincerity.
