-I don't...- The dragon already wanted to start arguing most likely thinking only about how to push the money back to Matheo, but the smith already turned towards Darius and completely ignored Draco's strong logical arguments.
-I think there will be a little excursion waiting for you when you leave .- The blacksmith mused for a moment.- You'll just have to make quick work of it to make it in time for the evening.
-Why? - Bleist was interested. Something touched him and he turned towards Gizel, who was quietly talking to Fiora.
-Something's the matter?- The elven beauty broke away from the conversation and glanced around at everyone. She gently giggled as she looked at the sullen dragon turning coins in his hand and mumbling that he had said he didn't need it after all.- Why are you looking at me like that Darius?
-Why should we be in a hurry before the evening?- The mage asked with an audible note of suspicion in his voice.
-Oh, didn't I tell you?- Gizel made a surprised face and covered her mouth with the palm of her hand.- How could I have missed it.- She added opening a small bag that she had exceptionally carried with her today and started looking in it for something. Now everyone was looking at her and even Draco had stopped trying to explain anything to the blacksmith.- Oh, there it is.- The elfess triumphantly took two envelopes out of her purse and strode over to Darius to hand him one and then over to Draco to give him the other.
Bleist knew all too well that he had just received an invitation. He was also well aware that he should have received it at least a few days earlier. With a slightly grim smile, he opened the envelope and took out the contents. The invitation on ornate stationery was written in Gizel's beautiful handwriting.
-I wonder since when I have been co-organising a party to celebrate the re-opening of Matheo's shop?- Darius raised one eyebrow looking at Gizel pretending that the question was not directed
