I was supposed to be riding on a horse with Kiki, but Brobi was going ahead of everyone so I went with him. I feel like we've been so busy that we haven't been able to bond.
"Hey Ari! How about we go say hi to our old family in Laxdo?" He said with a smirk.
I smiled brightly because I knew exactly who he was talking about. The Lowell family.
Although they weren't our blood family we spent so much time with them. The people of Laxdo were all really nice. I didn't meet anyone who was mean to anybody. However, one day Obi was a bit desperate. I was still too young to sell my medicine alone. So we barely had any money.
There weren't that many 'jobs' near Laxdo because of the nearby soldier base, coincidentally the one Zen and the others are going to currently. He tried to steal from a man. I caught him though and commanded him to give it back. At that point the man was trying to buy some food and panicked trying to find his money pouch. My brother was still hesitating so I smacked him on the back of the head and snatched the pouch. Before Obi could stop me I walked up to the man and tapped is shoulder. I said," I'm so sorry sir. My brother and I needed some money so we took your money pouch and well didn't actually use any money." I bowed at a 90 degree angle and at that point Obi was behind me and bowing too. The man laughed, which definitely surprised the both of us.
If you couldn't already guess that man was Mr. Lowell. He didn't even question why we took the money and didn't get mad. He simply ruffled my hair and patted Obi on the shoulder. "Don't worry about it kids, here why don't we all use this money to buy some food and then you two can come with me. I could introduce you to my wife I bet she will love you two." Obi and I looked at each other silently asking if we should believe him. He sounded way too nice, but either way Obi and I could handle ourselves if things went bad.
"We would very much appreciate that sir!" Obi said politely.
He bought some meat buns for us and his wife. Then he brought us to his home.
Mrs. Lowell was even nicer than her husband. She immediately said hi to us and even scolded Mr. Lowell for not warning her about guests. When we met she introduced herself and welcomed us in. In general they were the nicest people ever.
The Lowell's actually had a baby on the way and Mrs. Lowell was about 2 or 3 months pregnant at the time. I told them that I wanted to be an herbalist and already know a lot of things about the body and herbs. They were impressed and I told them that as a thank you, I could give some herbs to help with the pain and illness she feels that doesn't affect the baby. She greatly accepted and pretty much asked us to stay until the baby was born.
Obi and I graciously took the offer and worked really hard to earn our keep. The Lowell's were like the family that Obi and I were missing.
We stayed with them for almost a year Obi helped out around the house and with Mr. Lowell's work while I cared for Mrs. Lowell. They practically adopted us and in the November of that year the Lowell's gave birth to a baby girl. I had to help with delivering the baby and she is the cutest thing we've ever seen.
The baby was named Hazel. Mrs. Lowell said that she named her that to honor our hazel and gold eyes. That way we are always connected to them even when we had to leave a moth later. We make sure to visit them whenever we get the chance. Last time we saw them was right before we met Lord Haruka.
Since Obi and I are visiting the Laxdo area we are deciding to drop in before assuming our 'duties'.
I can't wait to tell them about all of the people I've met!
