Leonard gripped the handles of his swords, the tension from the past few nights still present in his muscles.
"Who were the intruders?" he thought, still trying to figure it out.
Saito, calm as if he were waiting for tea time, stood up. He walked toward the herb's table, where he had some tea strainers.
"I'm going to brew... make some green herbal tea for us." He smiled. "Do you like cookies?"
"Tea?" Leonard blinked, surprised. Was this a "visit"?
Suddenly, the cabin door opened, and a man entered. He was tall and slender, carrying a couple of bags and a mage's wooden staff. His shaggy black hair and black eyes, along with his face… were vaguely familiar to Leonard.
"Le...?"
"Le...on...?"
"Leo...?"
The man squinted his eyes, trying to remember.
"Leonard?!" Finally, the man said.
"Kaleb?" Leonard replied, his voice still a little hoarse.
"Oh hoo! I see you two already know each other," said old Saito, his hands on his hips.
