funky ol diary thingie thing

entry 4

i woke up to the sound of the town quietly wakin up
stores openin their doors, people greetin each other n havin conversations, children runnin out of their homes just to play around
and of course me finally wakin up
i look down only to find the gold coin filled bag jordan gave me still in my arms
i smiled
i was so glad no one took it from me
man i gotta say
jordan is indeed just a good ol pal you need
i hummed as i began makin my way to one of the small little bakeries here
the lady at the counter was busy whiskin a bowl of
who knows what
she looked over to me and smiled
she warmly welcomed me to her bakery
i smiled back at her n greeted
simply askin her if i could get some bread and eggs with a side of wine
nothin goes bad with wine
well
thats what i heard
ive never drank wine in my life but i heard its really good
everyone in the towns ive walked by drinks wine
hell, even the kids drank that stuff (yes kids used to drink alcohol back th)
but anyways the lady nodded with a smile as she began to cook up the eggs
she began to ask me questions like if i was new here n what my name was n how old i was n if i had a family
i answered those questions
tellin her that i was indeed new n that my name is jae, age 19 n..
i slightly hesitated to answer the last question but
i did tell her i had a family
as well as tellin her that i ran off to get a better life
she hummed and told me that she was like me before
tellin me her parents were bad people n she was just left out in the street until a nice couple picked her up and took care of her
and now shes here
i simply just stood there and let this lady speak
before she turned over to me and smiled tellin me that i can sit down n that she didnt mind
i nodded as we began havin another conversation
mainly her tellin me that this town is very fun n peaceful
n that the people here are just overall very nice n positive
i was glad to hear that since
the town i ran from was just violence
my dad was sent to jail because he killed people for his satisfaction
i find it creepy
i mean
he wasnt exactly the best father either..
ahem
aanyways.
the lady handed over my plate of food
the smell of freshly baked eggs and the feel of a soft loaf of bread
as well as the yummy smell the wine gave off too
i felt like cryin
before i can even eat i took out the bag of gold coins jordan gave me
i asked the lady how much i needed to pay but she shook her head n to put the money away
i nodded and slowly placed the bag down on my lap
she laughed as she told me that she doesnt mind how much i eat, just as long as im healthy then shes happier than just gettin plain ol money
i smiled as i began eatin my breakfast
it tasted
like heaven
her cooking tasted so good..
i bet i finished my plate in three minutes before askin for another plate of the same food
she gladly accepted my request and began makin me more food
i felt like a little boy eating my moms cooking
before things went down of course -
but i digress
she handed me another plate before tellin me that if i want another plate then i could call her over since shell be in the back gettin more food supplies
i ate my food happily before lookin out the window to see
jordan !!
but he was doin sumthin
he was pastin a paper on the wall of important notices
its like a small news board on whats goin on or what events are comin up hosted by the king
i squinted a bit only to see a poster
i finished my food quickly
almost leavin out the bakery but i went back to the counter only to drop around 10 gold coins for the lady
rippin out a page from this diary n writin out a thank you note
i know she said she didnt need money but i dont care
she deserves it for bein nice to me, some worn out, poor guy thats new in town
but anyways i made my way over to jordan to read the poster more clearly now
it had a notice about
knights
needing to be hired
in the kingdom
to personally serve
the prince himself.
i scratched my chin as i thought about it
i mean
sure the prince is handsome and nice lookin
elegant too
but
if its sayin knights then im
probably not qualified for the job
jordan noticed my sad look before askin me whats wrong
i told him that i was interested in bein the prince's personal knight but the problem was that i was poor
im not even trained either
jordan shook his head and told me that i was surely qualified for it
since i was tall n strong, handsome too
only problem is that i just stink a bit n i dont got much money
though he did tell me that bein a knight doesnt seem that bad
he knows i protect him from drunk guys tryin to get in fights with jordan when he dances on tables
so that may be why..
i gave up with a sigh as i read the poster again
seems like the day theyll be hirin the lucky one knight is in a day or two from now
i hummed as i told jordan that im goin to try to get the job
i felt a little confident
i told jordan that im goin to go n freshin myself up a bit
sure itll be cheap clothes and a single shower but ill try my best to look okay
than just look like i just got ran over by a herd of horses
