"Safe travels!" Thyra wished the two teenagers as they loaded their horses.
"To you as well," Irene responded. "Good luck fishing today."
"Yes, to you as well," Arne agreed as he finished tying his saddlebags securely. "There are plenty of fish in this area."
The couple had stayed in the fishing cabin that night since it was taking a long time for Frey's thick clothing to dry. However, the Litharions didn't mind extending their help to people in need. Plus, it allowed them a good home-cooked meal. Neither Irene nor Leif would have made something so impressive when left to their own devices.
After their failure of a first day, the couple opted to stay and fish for one more day. On top of that, they also decided to reuse the Litharion's ice hole because it seemed that the lake they normally fished would have a bad memory attached to it for the season. It was also not their preference to be close to the pile of ash of what remained from their two assailants.
