This is irritating. But why is this so irritating?
Alistair was eating lunch together with lina, Milo, and Gilbert. The old baker and lina were all smiles when the carpenter's apprentice arrived, treating him as a hero who had co to save them. Gilbert wasn't shy in offering him an extra portion of his delicious pumpkin soup but made no such offers to Alistair.
This old man has hated from the very beginning although I have no idea why. I had hoped that he'd soften up a little bit, but he still regards as if I were so locust that has co to eat all of his precious harvest.
But it wasn't Gilbert's attitude that truly peeved Alistair. He had accepted that the baker disliked him slightly more than everybody else, and he was sure that Gilbert disliked most people. No, what truly irritated him was the genuine smile on lina's face.
The girl always seed wary around him, as if walking on eggshells. He imagined it was because of their vast difference in social standing. Most people in Sunglow treated him the sa way, keeping a polite distance, with a few exceptions. But for so reason, it felt wrong whenever lina did it, and he didn't understand why.
Alistair dipped the last bit of his bread in the remains of the soup, soaking up the delicious liquid and popping it in his mouth.
It must be my exhaustion getting to . The visions have been more frequent and confusing since
