A new day . . .
The next day, Jack was sweeping the kitchen when he heard a knocking at the back door. With the broom still in his hand, he opened it to find a rather thin looking boy outside.
The boy looked up with his eyes wide and said in a small voice, “Please, sir, I was wondering if I could talk to the owner of this inn. I wanted to ask him if he has—”
“Any work?” Jack interrupted with a grin. The boy nodded, surprised. Jack looked him over, and his smile widened. “As a matter of fact, he does.” He grabbed the startled boy’s hand and pulled him inside. “Do you know anything about helping in an inn?” he asked.
“Yes sir, I do. I work wherever I can find it, but the last place I was at didn’t need me anymore.”
Jack told him to follow him and went to find the innkeeper.
After a cursory inspection, the innkeeper said that he would take the boy as a helper, and Jack then told him that he would be moving on. The innkeeper was sorry to see him go, but they both knew that it had only been a temporary arrangement.
So that is how, when Mark d’Martin set out for Crowncity later that day, he heard someone shouting and turned to find Jack running to catch up.
“Wait! I’m coming with you!” Jack panted as he reached Mark.
“What?” Mark asked, readjusting his pack. “Where?”
“To Crowncity!” Jack replied. “I thought I’d have a look at those knights you were telling me about.”
“Is that all you’re bringing with you?” Mark asked, looking doubtfully at Jack’s possessions (or lack of them). “Just like that you abandon your job and decide to follow me?”
Jack told how he had found a helper for the innkeeper, and how he had come to be serving in the inn in the first place. They talked as they walked, and one thing led to another until Jack told Mark all about leaving Midsummer, and even a good deal about some of the more comical escapades he had been involved in there. Mark and Jack found that they had much in common despite their very different backgrounds, and they were soon laughing together like old friends.
