- This... well... this... We... uh... - Miroluba fidgeted nervously in her chair, trying not to meet the guard's gaze. - We... well, I woke up, then I got ready, you know, washed my face, brushed my hair... then... I don't remember what we had for breakfast... Wait... I'll remember, just a moment... this... this... Ah... it's probably not important to you... sorry... - she said guiltily, lowering her gaze and clasping her trembling hands.
- So, basically, we... wanted to give our things to the one... Ashur. He said he could mend them, or reforge them, or something like that, I'm not sure. So we went. We and the others were doing various jobs together, you know... just... various things. The things that are hanging on the board in the Temple. We also brought bark from a tree. And... this... we walked a girl to her father. And then we came back. That's it...
- So, basically, we... well, we went into the house, where all this was happening. Lyfa - well, I don't know her personally, I didn't have time to get to know her... She's someone... a friend of a friend of a friend, or something like that... Anyway, we were sitting with her, waiting. I was in a room with Lance. Then I heard some noise... He ran out to see what it was, and I stood there, waiting... Then I went out too... I saw our Ashur lying on the workbench, and another one lying next to him... some guy, I don't know... or am I not supposed to swear? Sorry... - she dabbed her eyes.
- There was blood everywhere, and they were shouting... That one was doing something to our... the one called Nao. And then those guys showed up... soldiers. Or rather, guards... Well, there were three of them. They asked something. It was something about the "noise," I think. Our guys started explaining, and that hairy guy started shouting something... I didn't really understand, he had a strange accent. Then... then... ah. Then he took off his helmet and started hitting him with it. And then... - a deathly pallor spread across her tanned skin. - I couldn't see very well... It wasn't very bright, and I was standing behind, so I couldn't see because of the people in front... Anyway, a fight broke out. Well... and then it was over, I guess... And then we left... - she mumbled the last sentence, lowering her head. - Sorry...
