With the shopkeeper and his rolling coals forgotten, Noah let his eyes wander to different shops and doors, but would quickly snap ahead or to the ground when only half-dressed people came into view in the darkness, or leaned against their doorposts and made enticing comments to the two men.

”She would definitely love to visit, and I am sure when the twins are old enough they’ll be begging you for rides — skyboat and sled.” Noah, despite the discomfort he felt in his belly, beamed at the mention of his children. Their light could always extinguish the darkness, no matter how inky.
”I think the Hollowed Grounds could really use that.” Noah said sincerely, nodding at his own words. ”I’ll help with anything you need for that.” Having a dedicated parcel service would do this place well, that was true. It was a small aspect of trade but it kept the people connected to the larger world, which this region was so unused to because of being under the barrier for so long.
