I hanged the clothes as I look at the sky once again and sigh.
It been 5 days since father left the house, I'm starting to wonder if he's alright? Or maybe he's lost..
...
Who am I kidding?! Father never get lost! Never even once!
I dislike Father when he's gone for to long. Last time he's gone for 2 weeks!

Everything has been so hard lately. Ever since I turn 13, father keep leaving the house to do something like village chores or herbs or resources. I know he want the best for us but I started to feel lonely because I rarely got to hang out with him. When he came back, he usually head to his room and slept for the rest of the day and then he would do stuff like making herbs or training. I'm starting to feel like our relationship became distant.

I curse myself as I carry the clean clothes and head inside the house. I walk to my father bedroom and place the clothes inside his closet and drawers. After that, I walk to my room and did the same in my father room, placing the clothes in my drawers and my closet.

After placing the clothes, I carry the basket to the living room and place it near the fire place. I know it's a strange place to put the basket but I did what my father told me.

Speaking of my father..
After I put the basket near the fire, Father came in the house carrying.. something that is cover in cloths on his back..? I decided to shrug it off and welcome my father back.

Me: "Welcome back Father."
Green Steve: "Sabre! Oh thank god you're home. I thought you're on the lake, washing clothes. Sabre can you set up the guest room?"
Me: "Huh? Is Uncle Blue Steve staying in with us again? I thought his house is anti-polar bear now."
Green Steve: "Well.. no. Just set up the guest room and I'll tell you."
Me: "Hm.. okay?"

I walk away from my father and head to the guest room and set everything up. After that I get out the guest room only to see my father waiting outside the guest room. As soon as I came out of the guest room, he went inside.

I was outside, waiting for him. After a few minutes, He get out the guest room and walk towards the living room to take a sit on the sofa. I follow him and sit next to him, I notice the thing that he was carrying is gone.

Me: "Father, did you put that thing behind your back in the guest room?"
Green Steve: "Son.. it's not a thing, he's a steve."
Me: "Oh ok- wait what!? Were you carrying a Steve this whole time?!"
Green Steve: *sigh* "Yes son and no, I didn't hurt them. I just found them unconscious."

For some reason, I had a bad feeling about a word he just said.. 'hurt' but I decided to shake it off.

Me: "Um.. alright. Are they okay?"
Green Steve: "Nothing serious. Just a couple of scraps and burns here and there but I have to take care of them immediately before it get infected."
Me: "Alright?"

My father sigh and look at the fireplace with what it seems like disappointments. I started to feel uncomfortable due to the awkward silence. It was until my father get up from the sofa and head towards the kitchen.

Green Steve: "I'm gonna make some food, you should probably rest for awhile, the chores must have tired you out."
Me: ".. okay father."

I pull out a book that my father gave me once when I was 12 and get up. I was about to head to my room until..

*crack*

..it coming from the guest room.
