"Sorry… Sorry… Slept a bit too much and took too much time to poop," Aric said after almost tumbling down the stairs. His room was on the upper floor, which had its own toilet and bathroom, and this was his guise to hide when he wasn't there. Aric had a feeling that Gopher might have figured out that something was wrong with him and that he held secrets, but Gopher never asked or even showed that he might know anything.
It was also for this reason that Aric respected Gopher and showed him trust by letting him handle the books for his sales. Of course, it didn't mean he didn't keep track. Apis used to make the inventory, and Mira would make sure he was receiving the proper amount of gold coins.
"Poop?" Gopher and Alden were confused by this new word that Aric had just 'invented.'
"Ah. I mean shit… like the actual shit," Aric said.
