Homesick

"You're leaving!? But why!" Heidi exclaimed. "Is it because you fell from that building? Don't tell me you got injured so horrific that you need to go to another country to heal!" Heidi cried.

"No Heidi, I'm perfectly fine. And I'm staying in the country so I can still see you." Dapha comforted, while patting Heidi's back.

"Honestly this is the best outcome." Braine interrupted.

"What?" Heidi asked, her tone lowering.

"Well not Dapha leaving of course, she'll be missed dearly." Braine said dramatically taking a sigh.

"I'm not dying, I'm just moving." Dapha said voice laced with disbelief.

"And since you'll be gone so will Nyssa." Braine exclaimed. Both Dapha and Heidi gave him a confused look, and Braine let out a sigh. "This means I'll finally be free from slaving away at the bakery." He explained.

"Oh, I completely forgot you were forced to work at the bakery." Heidi hummed.

"Yes! All because of a small coin." Braine cried. "But like I said, this is the best outcome for my own safety."

"Braine you idiot!" Heidi shouted as she punched Braine. "This is the worse outcome! Now i'm stuck with you smelly boys!"

"I don't smell.." Braine said rubbing his arm. "I took a shower last week."

...

Heidi ran back to Dapha and gave her a tight hug as she cried, "I can't deal with them, please don't leave me!"

"Speaking about boys, where's Kasper?" Dapha asked, realizing Kaspers not in the bakery.

"Well, after I told him the news he got really mad. Like super mad, way more than usual!" Braine explained dramatically. "His face turned red, then it looking like he was trying to hold back tears."

"Sounds like he's a loose cannon right now. Might be smart if I keep my distance." Dapha mumbled.

"He sure is, and after I told him he ran away! I can't find him anywhere." Braine huffed with a hint of annoyance. "He better not be so grumpy that he won't be able to say goodbye."

"It's more of a see you later, goodbyes are only when I leave for good." Dapha explained.

"Where should we put the graveyard?" Braine asked ignoring Dapha. "Somewhere that means great value."

Heidi moved her head from out of Dapha's neck revealing a huge tear stain. "Oh, let's put it where she crashed into that noble." She sniffled.

"That's a great idea! I'll tell everyone in the neighborhood!" Braine beamed as he raced out of the cafe.

"No! Don't tell anyone I died!" Dapha shouted to Braine who was already out of eye shot. "And Heidi you're making my shirt all wet and snotty!"

"I just don't want to see you die!" Heidi wailed out.

"I'm not dying." Dapha said grabbing Heidi's shoulder. "I can come back to town every Tuesday and Thursday."

"Really?" Heidi asked immediately changing her expression. "Well, let me help you sell all this stuff quickly!"

''That was easy but now I'm going to need to figure out to escape from the nobles for two days out of the week.' Dapha thought to herself as her and Heidi went outside to sell the bakery items.

Dapha and Nyssa sold almost ever thing in the bakery, all the extras they gave away to Dapha's friends. They also packed everything in the house and now it's time for them to be picked up and moved to their new residence.
