Date: May 6th, night to 7th
Place: Outside
Status: Public
Summary: Dustfinger comes back.



Dustfinger started to wonder if the money he had taken from Arty had been cursed. Oh but he should have been more careful when talk had started of magic. Instead he stupidly took the large amount and went away...

...and for the third time now he was walking this way again.

He shook the head. What did money help him if he could not get away from here when he had it? He hoped if he returned it to Arty he would lift the spell. Otherwise he would never get home. Never.

Now it was too late to ring the bell and he still did not think they would likely let him inside very gladly. He did not need to go inside either. Like Gwin he could just sleep outside when it wasn't raining.

The sun would wake him up surely. Then he could ask for Arty and give back the money. For now, he laid down near to the building were he would stay dryer even if it started to rain at night, rolled up and tried to sleep.

"Okay", Dustfinger said. "Is it small?"

He wanted that they had as few reasons than possible to chase him away. After all it seemed as if he was stuck here now.

Except... Maybe if he decided to stay here he would suddenly be walking away?

"I'm not too sure." As far as Gabriel could remember, the only first-floor room he had entered was Raphael's. "They're somewhat large, I suppose. Why?"

"We don't need much space", Dustfinger said. "Just a bed and a corner where Gwin can sleep."

He gestured.

"We don't want to take away space."

Gabriel smiled at him. "Don't worry. We have many spare rooms and can accommodate a lot more people, I believe. Do you want to go to your room now?"

"Okay", Dustfinger said. "If you're sure."

At least he could be a bit comfortable then while he waited.

[cattygabriel]

"Come, I'll bring you there." Gabriel gestured to the stairs.

Dustfinger followed. Half he was glad that he was getting a room to sleep in. Half he feared that it was a trap.

But it was too late to change anyhting now. He just had to hope that everything would be okay.

Gabriel opened the door and switched on the light. "There you go," he smiled at Dustfinger. "I hope you'll be comfortable. Feel free to look for me tomorrow if you -" he didn't want to say can't afford food "- need any help."

Dustfinger nodded and walked into the room. There he stood and looked around with wide eyes. It was huge and luxurious. Should he tell the man he wasn't going to take it? That he wanted something smaller?

He swallowed. No. He decided not to. If he was going to be thrown out then he would at least sleep one night in this palace room.

"Yes." He said. "I will remember. Thank you."

[cattygabriel]

"You're welcome." Gabriel watched Dustfinger's reaction; such a room must be completely alien to him, and his heart ached with pity. "Sleep well."

"I will", Dustfinger said and turned to close the door behind Gabriel. "Good night."

[cattygabriel]

Gabriel handed him the key. "Goodnight."

He knew he couldn't help everyone in the world, but at least he had been able to help Dustfinger.
