Kalfene wasn’t sure what this was about. However, he had a fairly good memory.
Although his workspace was a bit chaotic, it was more of an organized chaos kind of thing so he knew how many were stolen and what was there that wasn’t supposed to be there fairly quickly.
It was a rolled piece of paper, too. After Otto’s disappearance, the good quality paper and pens had become scarce, and the families had sent investigators to determine where it was from.
There was not much lack in that area. However, there had been a mass import of an inferior version from Papel Town since before, and people just settled with that. It was far from the quality they were used to, but it was a decent alternative.
This mysterious roll of paper, in contrast, was a lot like what Otto used to sell in his specialty store.
Anyway, when he unfurled it and read its contents, he almost dropped it.
/Come to the Sephon-Vesto Family wedding in a few days! We can get you that Dwarf god you’ve been hoping to meet. Be sure to bring all you can offer!!/
Kalfene shook.
Seeing his reaction, Kahonn looked over his shoulder and read the letter, too. "What is it?" he asked, curious. "Do you have something going on with people from those families?"
"No..."
It had nothing to do with either of those two families at all.
’Dwarf god’ was not taken literally. It was an inside joke he had with Otto to refer to a place that would excite his brain.
At the time, he wondered when he’d get past making aether letter after aether letter, which was something he was growing bored with.
It was one of his only inheritances and he did gain a bit of money from it, but the routine of such high-concentration work was still exhausting.
Then Otto lent him a text about something dwarves had done before. They didn’t know much about dwarf technology, but even the minor ones were quite useful in wars.
"I’ll just pray to their dwarf god for inspiration," Kalfene had mumbled at a time, and only Otto had been there.
At this, Kalfene’s eyes sparkled, feeling excited.
He knew they were alright!!
That said, what did the letter mean? He should attend the wedding and...bring everything he had?
His heart beat in excitement again, eyes sparkling. He wasn’t sure how this would go, but anything was better than the current situation!
He was brought back to the present by a callous, chubby palm waving in front of his face. "Helloooo."
He looked at Kahonn, wondering. Should he tell him? Or would it endanger them instead?
In the end, he just looked at him, patting his cousin’s shoulder with a creepy smile on his face.
"Want to go to a wedding with me?"
"???"
...
While these things were going on, the two noble houses of Sephon and Roach were bustling with activity in preparation for the wedding.
