Efi ran out of the inn, sprinting to the house.

"Papa!"
"Efi."

Teo stared her at such intensity that Efi instead started wondering if she had done something wrong. Did I eat cookies just now? No? Huh?

"Efi, did you meet anyone today? To... play?" Teo asked gently, not matching his eyes.

"Yep! I met with a Yuki!"
"Yuki? Who is that?"
"A girl!"
"I mean, from where? How does she look like?"

When did papa become so scary! Did... did Yuki do something wrong?

"Uhh... black hair? Taller than me... pretty... and she knows Paul!"
"Who is Paul?"
"The man we met this morning!"

Teo remembered the inn keeper. Suspicious.

"Ok Efi. Could you tell me everything that happened today?"
"Huh? Uhh... I ran? Then I felt lonely? And then Yuki crashed into me. And then-"
"She crashed into you? From where?"

Efi began to shiver at Teo's glare.

"The roof?"
"Does it hurt?"
"Eh?"

Teo's eyes glinted. This may not even be a demon. A dragon perhaps?

"No?"
"No?"
"No."

Teo instantly had an idea click in his head. But he needed more proof.

"Good job Efi! Here, have some sweets."
"Yay!"

Teo got into bed as Efi dug into the sweets that he had nicked from sugar crazy Mrs Kat.

Tomorrow. That was all it needed.
