as i made my way over to the tavern, i thought to myself how i could i ever gain enough coins to get me a good job to work at as well as a nice place to stay
but itll take me some time to get to that point
im in a big need of food n shelter
but all ive been doin is drink a single beer every end of the day
i wish i has steak n mashed potatoes of some sort in front of me right now
itll be a dream come true..
but ahem
aanyways.
i opened the door to the tavern only to see jordan already here
dancing on a table to the music the local small band is playin
i laughed as i made my way over to him
sittin beside what i assumed to be his chair which had a bag on it
it looked heavy, probably stuff he got from where ever he traveled to today
he sat back down on his seat and greeted me with his alcoholic breath
i mean it wasnt that bad
but at least i know he drank sumthin before i came here
i simply smiled at him n greeted him back with a hello before askin the bartender for the usual
a free glass of beer
he handed it over to me as i took a small sip of it
i always drank my beer in small portions since drinkin it bit by bit sometimes makes me feel full as if i drank a whole gallon
which i didnt
but anyway
jordan plopped down the bag that was in his seat onto the table and slightly slid it over to me
he said that it was a gift from him to me just cause he wanted to 'help me in some way'
i rose my brow at him, askin if he was just foolin around cause hes nearly drunk but he denied it
sayin that he was serious n that i should take his gift
i hummed as i reached over and slide the bag closer to me
it felt a little heavy
was it food ?
berries, apples, small bits of fruits and vegetables ??
probably not
as i loosened the rope around the tip of the bag only to hear clattering of what sounds like..
...coins..
i peek inside before fully openin the bag
findin a bunch of
gold..
gold coins !
my jaw slightly dropped
this is the most money ive ever seen in my entire life
i just couldnt believe my very own eyes
i looked over at jordan
givin him a worried look before askin him if he was sure about givin his money away to me
he let out a small laugh as he reached over and patted on my shoulder, tellin me that he has enough money for himself so theres no need to worry over that
i looked back at the bag as i held it close to me
i felt like shedding a tear
but thankfully i didnt
though i knew my eyes were bloodshot for my lack of tears with this overwhelmed
positive emotion i was feelin
i wanted to give jordan a big ol hug but i chose not to
dont wanna crush a man with emotional strength
so instead i patted his head n simply said thank you
i think ill buy myself a simple breakfast tomorrow morning
i want to eat good for once and
i know im on the verge of starvation at this point
im glad i have a friend like jordan i really am
..he saved my life
