"Have a good day Def. We'll get that order to you soon" The man behind the counter says.
"Thanks. I'll be sure to put this stuff to good use" You say. But before you can leave, you hear a familiar voice.
"Def!"
You don't look at the source of the voice. If it is who you think it is, you aren't going to talk to him. Even if he didn't send you that letter a few days ago.
"Hey Def, it's me, Alin"
You take a short glance in his direction. Alin looks just like the brother you remember. He's around 22 years old, three years younger than you. However, because of his short stature, it makes him look slightly younger. He's dressed like you are, cheap brown clothing, though he doesn't have a cloak like you do.
"Look, I know you're probably angry at me. I would be too. But I'm sorry, alright!" Alin says, pleading. If this was nine years ago, you'd believe him. But Alin... he really only cares about Alin. There were people that were worse than him, but... you don't exactly trust him. "Look, everyone else was writing those letters. I-I-I don't know why I did it. I just did. I'm sorry"
You sigh. You may be angry at him, but he's still your brother. You may as well hear him out so you can properly tell him 'no'. "Alright, what do you want, Alin?" You ask. "You never apologize unless you want something" You hold up a box of nails, trying to see if you should get it or buy a larger box.
Alin sighs. You see a well rehearsed smile appear on his face. "Look, I know we don't get along, but thanks for hearing me out"
You make a non-committal sound.
"Look, I know you and Taylor got along. I just want to know... did he come over to your place?"
You drop the box of nails you're holding. "What?" Taylor's missing? You knew it was strange that he didn't write a letter, if only to say he was sorry.
"It's just that, he had a fight with mom two days ago" Alin says. You can hear the worry in his voice, worry that you think may be genuine. "He stormed out and... no one's seen him since. We told the City Guard, but they haven't found anything yet. I was thinking that, maybe he was staying with you"
You shake your head. "I haven't seen him, but I'll keep an eye out. I just... I just hope he's just staying at an inn in the city. Or he finally ran away and became a bard like he always said he'd do"
"I hope so too" Alin says. "Just... if you find him, let him know that we mi-just... make sure he's safe."
"No problem" You say. "I'll keep an eye out"
"Alright, thanks Def" Alin said. "And... good luck"
As Alin leaves, you think. You have no doubt that Alin was lying about being sorry about the letter. But right now, you were more worried about Taylor.
He might be hurt. He may just be staying at your grandmother's. You just hope that he is alright.
