The boy bowed and began to talk.
"Mrs Zenith. My name is Gideon Boreas Greyrat and I would like to express my deepest gratitude for the saving my life just now. Your skill and confidence in your action gave me a second chance at life. I am profundly thankful to you for saving this ones life. Please, accept my heartfelt thanks, as well as my highiest respect. I will never forget what you have done for me. I swear, that someday, I will return that favor a hundredfold."
He picked up his head and looked at the shocked figure before him.
"Ohhh! What a sweet child! There's no need to be this formal, a normal "thank you" would really be enough."
"No it woudn't Miss, you saved my life and I am really grateful for that. I meant every word that I said just now."
"Ah, is that so, in that case, I glady accept your thanks and as for returning this favor, please don't rush that. If I had to say, I am vey surprised you didn't fainted yet."
"Faint? I feel completly fine, Miss.
Oh, Patrick, I thank you too. I guess I wouldn't have make it if not for you. So thanks."
"It seems I didn't deserve to have thanks like those of Mrs Zenith, huh?"
"It's because I'm letting go of this whole accident and decided to not saying anything to grandfather. You would have had a lot of troubles don't you?"
"WHAT?!" He shouted and looked around him, all eyes focused on him.
"Come here for a second." He said and grabbed Gideon by his shoulder, pulling him aside and started whispering.
"You talking serious? If Master will discover that we, or to be more specific, I didn't informed him about this accident, he will be really pissed off."
"Come on Patrick, there's really no reason to worry him. After all, I am perfectly fine." He said while separating from him,
"Talking about him, we should really comeback to camp, he is probably worrying about us right now."
"I will go, you will stay here and rest. I will tell him that moose attacked you and this nice hunter over there took us to the local healer." He said while getting ready to leave.
"What? You are making the unnecessary trouble, let's just go back together and tell him that we got lost!"
"Gideon, you are bearly standing on your foot. I'm sorry, but can I trouble you with him staying here tonight, Mister...?"
"Paul, Paul Greyrat. And yes, of corse he will stay here."
"Greyrat? With no noble brand?" Gideon said slightly surprised.
"I give up the name when I left my home. It was Notos back then. And yes, the kid who is tutoring you and your sister is my son, Rudy." He said anticipating the question.
"I see, well Mr. Greyrat I think I will be in your care, because arguing with Patrick is like fighting with windmills."
"I don't mind you staying, but you will not be in my care just yet, I will go with Patrick to see Lord Sauros. It's already dark and wolfs are getting really active now. It would be a mericle if you didn't run into a pack while returning there and I am not exaggerating this now."
"Umm, if that's true than I will really appreciate it." He smiled and scratched the back of his head.
"I will go too." The hunter said. An uncertain look showed up on Patrick's face.
"Please, I really didn't had bad intentions, let me repay in some way my mistake."
"Laws is a really good man, Patrick. I can vouch for him, that it was a single mistake, he is a very good hunter and will be much help."
"Alright, but I don't want him on my back, that's my condition."
"I am an archer, it will be difficult to fight on the first line...but I will do what I can to not stay in your way." He said with a dropped head.
"It will have to be enough."
"Hm. Gideon, you will be the only men in the hause. If you can, don't pass out until we come back." Patrick said
"We will be alright, it's recommanded for him to sleep."
"I said I'm ok. Don't worry I will be on alert." With that beaing said the three men left.
"Gideon, would you like to eat the dinner with us. They won't be home until the night."
"No, I'm fine. It would be very rude to **BURRRP**
...
"Yes, with pleasure Miss"
"The pleasure is all mine. Lilia can you please check on Norn and Aisha? I will set the table."
"Yes, Miss Zenith. I'm sorry." With that she boved and move upstairs.
"There is somone else in the hause?" Asked Gideon.
"Yes, mine and LIlias daughters. Norn is mine and Aisha is hers, but we love them as they are ours."
"I see, so Mr. Paul have two wifes."
"No, I am his only wife, but he is our husband." She said that like the most common thing in the world.
"I think I don't understand, what's the difrance? If I can ask."
"I don't think it will do any good for a boy in your age." She said with a weird smile on her face.
"Oh, umm, ok?"
"Better tell how is Rudy doing, as a tutor?"
"He is very smart, he is using the educational methods I didn't saw in my life, with an amazing result."
"Amazing? Why?"
I have a feeling she asks that question to hear how I am praising Rudeus more than to know his teaching methods, well, I own her a lot more.
"He acomplished more in one year than a profesional teachers could do in whole Erisis life. He almost teached her read and write fluently and he even teached her and Ghislaine elemental magic."
"That's great! I am so proud of him." She said while giving Gideon a hot been soup and a piece of bread.
"Miss Zenith, Norn was awake. I feeded her and putted back to sleep."
"Thank you, Lilia. Please have a sit, I have already take care of everything, enjoy your meal!"
After that we chatted a bit more while eating our food. I have to say the soup was really good, maybe not as good as food back home, but it isn't the same budget class, so further comprasion wouldn't be fair.
Lilia wasn't talking to much. I don't know if she isn't suppose to or is she just isn't the type of a talker. And after about one more hour..
"We are back!" Announced Paul.
