I had finished up with Moret, and I had just got done with the won in Calham. I went around and checked on the other towns, but everyone seed to be happy and content after everything I did. This is what I had ant to happen, but it was nice to see everyone getting back into gear.
When I was in Vaal, I found Ezra, and the two of us went out for lunch at one of the new greenhouse restaurants that I had placed in each town. I had assud that It would take so ti to get things organized, but they already had a couple of dishes that were written on a chalk slate outside, and people were already enjoying their als.
The two of us talked about things that were going on in both the town and the country as a whole. I told her about what I had planned for the rest of the day, and Ezra told about things at the bakery.
"Things had already been going pretty good since your goddesses had visited us and enchanted our equipnt! I knew that you had visited us the most when you were in town the first ti, so I assu you liked the food, so I decided I would try to get your attention that way," Ezra giggled as she leaned into . We were sitting in a booth, but she had wanted to sit beside , so now she was under one of my arms.
I had kind of felt bad for just leaving her after, but the woman had been pushing my buttons, and she got the results of that. Still, there was nothing wrong with taking a bit of ti for the girls now. Sure, I still had problems to deal with, but I also had all my powers back, so stepping across the world to share a al with my girls was sothing I would have to get more in the habit of.
"Well, I don't think I had ever seen a woman pull a croissant from between her breasts, but the food is a great way to get my attention," I laughed, making Ezra giggle. "But in all seriousness, things are going good around here? No one is giving you any problems?" I asked, and Ezra shook her head.
"No! Everyone has been so nice since you left! The townspeople have been all happy and excited about everything," Ezra explained, and I grinned.
"I am glad to hear that. It seems like everything has been good," I said, and Ezra nodded as the waitress ca over.
"Anything else?" she asked, and we both shook our heads before giving her our order. When she left, we began to talk again about things as Ezra rested her hand on my arm while we talked. It was nice just being able to focus on sothing other than all the stuff that I had left to deal with.
The food ca, and it was wild chicken salad with a creamy garlic dressing that slled pretty good. We both got the sa things since there were only three choices on the nu. The other two choices were a no-at salad and pumpkin soup.
As we ate, people ca in and out of the place, giving nods as they headed off to work on things around town. I waved back with a smile when they did it long enough that I could stop eating for a second or two.
I had to admit that the food was pretty good, considering it was just simple peasant food like this. Still, there wasn't any reason why decent food couldn't be enjoyed by everyone.
"So, is there anything new going on in town? Besides the cafe, of course," I asked as I took a drink from my ale, and Ezra blushed a bit as she leaned over to grab her own mug, making sure that her breast rubbed against my side just right before straightening up again.
"No…not really…well actually yes! There is sothing you should know!" Ezra said with excitent in her voice as the waitress brought over another ale. We had drunk the first one pretty quick, and I paid her now that we were finished with our als as well.
"What is it?" I asked curiously as Ezra took a deep breath to calm herself down so before she told whatever was going on.
"Everyone in town, and most of the other ones, are talking about Hilda! Seems that everyone wants her to take over now since you are supporting her, but there is a problem that has just co up in the Vine as we were eating," Ezra explained and I frowned at her as I used a napkin to wipe my mouth.
"Problem?" I asked curiously, but I started to get a sinking feeling.
"Yes, Hilda has disappeared," Ezra said plainly, and I narrowed my eyes, my mood turning dark.
"What do you an, disappeared? I got rid of the cult mbers and demons; who could take her?" I growled, and Ezra flinched, making sigh, and then gently kissed the top of her head. "Sorry, this is just not sothing I wanted to hear right as I was about to wrap things up."
"Wrap things up?" Ezra asked with a confused look as she tilted her head up at .
"Yes, I thought that I would be able to go to Torrain and deal with Hilda and Carrie. I just need to see Hilda being placed as the ruler of this region, and then I was supposed to be done," I growled, but Ezra shook her head at .
"I think that you are underestimating Torrain and Carrie. Have you ever been to Torrain? It is almost twice the size of Northwall, and it is densely populated, but most of the people are poor. The city is in an area that doesn't see much snow, so many people that can't make it in the villages migrate to the city. There are three gates that lead into the city, and all of them are heavily guarded. You could sneak in by using your portals, but people would start to talk if they saw you popping up all over the place," Ezra explained as she sipped her ale.
