Breakfast is overflowing, as usual, and the village seems to be breathing a collective sigh - the morning brings no fog, and no ogres have been sighted. The barricades are being taken down, and EVERYBODY cheers a bit as the heroes are seen on the road. Miriam makes her appearance in particular, running out of the crowd to grant Antonio and Jun very warm hugs. You'll be back for dinner? I'm helping with the cooking tonight!
In the morning, it's not Manton that brings out food, but Miriam. Everyone's doing something. It's an honor to serve heroes!
Farmer Gotson clearly appreciates your kind words...he even manages to smile...but only Miriam speaks: I will, sir...I'm learning to be strong.
Miriam blinks twice, then pulls her hand to her chest...Don't get hurt...so brave...
Please say you'll visit, Antonio...please? Miriam looks back, still moving, but not quickly.
Daddy! I'll be OK! Miriam breaks into a run, straight to her father's arms... Antonio saved me!
Tearfully... clinging to Antonio's shoulder... Yes! Thank you...thank you... She's actually quite attractive.. almost marriageable age...a bit disheveled. |
