Kaden swore silently as he made his way up the stairs.
This must be the fourth bloody time I've repaired the sink in room 204. . . . .perhaps I should just install a new one. . . . He mused gloomily as he let himself into the room. There was no one about, only himself. He was alone, as was usual with his work.
He had been at the inn as their repair man for a fortnight now. His job was going smoothly and he hadn't run into any difficult duties. Darren was gracious, as was Maeve. They both respected him and he often found himself in their company.
Yes, this place was peaceful and an excellent resting point from his notorious travels.
But, still, he missed the thrill every now and then.
Give me a challenging sword fight over this damn sink, please, he begged silently to whomever was listening. Anything but having to repair this one more time. . . . .
Kaden lay on his back and examined the pipes cautiously. It looked as if the main one needed to be replaced or, at least, sealed more firmly than it had been the previous three times.
It's odd. I haven't seen a ghost since my first night here. . . . .I wonder where they all went. . . . .
Kaden took out a wench and started working.
In fact, it's so odd, that I wonder if the removal of that diary had anything to do with it. . . . .
Kaden looked at the pipe and decided that he might need to use a bit of magic, which would be irksome. But it was probably the solution.
I wonder where Nia and my grandfather went. Perhaps it has something to do with me. . . . .blast. . . .
Kaden's thought process was interrupted when the pipe burst, hard at that. He skillfully dodged the metal pieces, but ended up soaking. The floor swiftly ran with water. Kaden stood up and swore. He had better call the front desk.
Kaden dialed the number.
"Hello? Maeve? The pipe in room 204 burst. The water might start leaking through the floor. Could you possibly shut it off? I'm terribly sorry." Kaden finished, his voice guilt ridden and annoyed.

Maeve jumped when the in house phone rang. Answering it, she heard Kaden's frantic voice. "No problem," she said "hold on" she set the phone down and ran to houskeeping, where the water shut off was located. She shut it off and returned to the phone, "there, all taken care of. You alright up there? anything I can help with?" she asked.
Meaanwhile, quietly, as if in response to Kaden's unspoken wish a form was colescing in the shhadows behind him.
