Lazerat was stepping away to collect the darts from the board when he thought he heard Zoremet say something. He gave him a quizzical look before figuring a conversation from a table had wafted over to him and he misheard. With darts in hand, he returned to his friend and smiled at the enthusiastically given idea. “I would love to go hiking with you sometime. But it can’t be today, unfortunately.” He felt terrible for saying that with how excited Zoremet seemed at the idea and because it would have been fun.
“But my father will be waiting for the reports on the journey and transactions made and all of those very boring details that make up the life of a merchant.” His dad had been quick to use his own idea against him. Lazerat had said taking the trips helped him learn the routes that they were using to move merchandise and he would be able to properly explain how it worked and how safe the voyages were. His dad had let that slide for a couple of months but now he was expected to write up reports and record various logs. The crew had the captain and a record keeper but it was a learning opportunity and a second opinion on things never hurt.
But it really was boring.
“Besides, you shouldn’t ditch your brother. You should cherish the time you have with your siblings because you never know when something will change or they will vanish.” Lazerat threw a dart, perhaps more forcibly than needed and snorted when it struck centre. “Trust me on that,” his voice was softer as he spoke those final few words and glanced at his friend. He still hadn’t forgiven his parents for what they had done to Zelana and were now trying to do to him with marriage suggestions.
