Lonely-looking Woman

[Brenda Howard]

Hmm...

What should I make for

dinner today? Pickled cabbage?

I learned how to make it a while ago, but I've never gotten the chance to make it yet...

Hey, who are you anyhow?

Don't you know it's rude to

enter someone's house without

being invited? Besides, I don't have the time to help strangers while I'm busy making dinner...

[

W-wait!

I'm here to see...

Huh?

What are you

talking about?

I wonder

how my pickled

cabbage will turn out?

Ah... I see.

You're looking for my husband.

My husband, my daughter and

I just moved to Geffen from

Prontera a while ago.

We moved to Geffen for the sake of my husband's business. Apparently, this town is closest to something he really seems to need. Whatever it is, it must be really important to his smithing work.

Oh, and if you're going to look

for my husband, please talk to my daughter before you go. I think she has something that she wants to give to her father...

Ho-ho~!

Crisp and delicious pickled

cabbage~ My kid loves this stuff and finished it all by herself the last time I made it.

Ah...

So you've seen my husband.

How is he doing? I worry about

whether or not he's taking care

of himself enough...

Oh, I can't help but worry!

Thank you for letting me know

how he's doing. Still, he should

be doing a better job of keeping

in touch with us. *Sigh*

Thank you so much for bringing

this to me. I'm so happy to hear that he's fine and doing well.

Although he's not here often enough, it's good to know

that he loves his job.

Even so, I should start letting

him know that I want him to spend

a little more time at home. Oh, and why don't you talk to Liana? She's been waiting to tell you something.

Liana's daddy needs to come home more often. *Sigh* Even though he's away for long periods of time, I suppose it's for the best...

So how have you been?

As usual, Liana misses

her daddy, but I suppose

it can't be helped...

I may be no expert, but I'm

certain that my husband is

the best blacksmith in the world! Did you know Hollgrehenn and Aragham used to be his apprentices? Ho ho ho~

Try to cherish your

family, especially through the

hard times. Even when you're angry with them, try to be more understanding. I know it's hard...
