Due to all of the things that the people have done for us recently, we decided to help out a bit. In the early hours of the morning, Yuri overheard that the town had a shortage of firewood, and we had collected it for quite a while, so we would be glad to help. We went outside the gates, unbeknownst to them, and began collecting firewood in a nearby stretch of trees. Lawrence had made sure that this stretch of trees did not have any cultural reverence to the people prior to us doing this. We collected several tens of pounds of it, most of the weight we had got with our axe. Angelo had found an axe yesterday when he was going through the city.

  We brought it to them before the sun reached its zenith. We didn't want them to know that we had got it from them, but they had caught us. I didn't quite mind that this happened. It was sometimes nice to get recognition for good deeds. They thanked us profusely and told us they appreciated the sentiment. I saw the girl staring at me once more. She is odd. It is warm in this room. I never want to go outside any longer. It is too warm here.
