Daneel clutched the blanket to his nose and moved to the corner of the room to get away from the smell.
The man who entered didn't even seem embarrassed, simply hiccuping again and saying, "You brats left a note at my quarters? Couldn't you just wait there? I was just restocking my drinks...."
Taking another swig from the bottle in his hands, he nonchalantly crossed the puddle of vomit and promptly fell asleep where Daneel had just been sleeping.
It seemed that the concepts of personal hygiene and manners were foreign to this man, as he simply started snoring as if it were his own bed.
Feeling the urge to go to the bathroom bursting inside him due to sleeping for 24 hours straight, Daneel ran to the side and relieved himself. Noticing that he himself was starting to stink, he bathed after asking Faxul to grab some food from the cafeteria that was free for all students.
Finally, after filling his stomach and feeling alive again, Daneel hurriedly shook the man. There wasn't much time left for the deadline.
His snores continued unabated while the shaking had no effect. But as he was shaking, Daneel noticed two pieces of parchment sticking out of the man's pocket.
Taking them out, he was happy to see that they were the acceptance letters for the two of them. They decided to submit the letters first before deciding what to do next.
Located near the library was a building which housed the administrative wing of the academy. It was the clerk here who had helped them in finding the master's home before.
With expressions of relief on their faces, they handed in the acceptance letters. It had really been a close call.
"So he came to find you after all? Pity what happened to him.
