Jace was surprised as the stone man he had seen earlier spoke up. He wasn’t quite sure how to react to what he has heard, but before he could say anything, the man called for more food.

“Food!” Jace announced in a pleased tone. “Give me food and I will follow you anywhere!” Jace said as he had to hold himself back from jumping with excitement. He looked over as the woman he had talked to before said her goodbyes. “Bye lady! If you ever need a favor I owe you one for the ring!” Jace said as politely as he could. That woman had saved him from making a rather silly mistake with the ring, it was the least he could do. With a smile he looked back over to see the fox inspecting the bread he had left there. He sighed as he thought the woman must not know what it was. She didn’t look like any race he had seen before so it seemed to fit. It was then that he heard the shopkeeper scold him about the ring.

“It’s not my fault!” Jace said defensively. “I had no idea it was fake…” With a slightly disheartened sigh he took a seat on the ground and took a bite of the bread before getting out some cloth and wrapping it up. He slid it into his backpack for safekeeping. He then remembered what he had heard before.

“Wait… Where are we going to go?” Jace asked to the stone man. He had been so wrapped up in the fact that he was getting food that he had forgotten to ask what he had agreed to. “Did I just agree to be a slave or something?” Jace asked in a slightly scared tone, remembering back to the time when he had stumbled into a situation much like that one. In his defense, they gave him cake. He has a soft spot for sweets.
