Wise and Freya left the vicinity of the suspicious potion shop and continued into the city. After walking for some time, Wise stopped in front of a bakery and glanced inside of it.
The bakery had a large glass wall which made it easy for bypassers to see the pastries they had inside. What caught Wise's attention were the glazed doughnuts that were gleaming like polished diamonds.
"Let's get something before we go, what do you think?"
Freya nodded in agreement, her eyes locked on a large loaf of coconut bread. "I'm sure the girls will like some bread."
But before they got into the shop, Freya grabbed onto Wise's shirt and pulled him back.
It was not too pronounced, but she had noticed something different about Wise today.
"Are you okay? You seem a bit down."
Although he had slept over it, Wise had not completely recovered from what happened to Rosalind.
But he did not want Freya to know about it so he just smiled and played off her concern. "I'm just a little homesick."
