"Sigh, it's sure been lonely without those 3." Claude said as he laid down on the couch.

"If you're lonely, go to the bar and hang out with your old comrades why don't you?" Laura said as she was cleaning the dishes in the kitchen.

"Ha~ Why would I talk to those old geezers when I could hug my cute daughter?" Claude sighed as he turned around to look at Laura.

"Our cute daughter isn't here. Go hug someone else, at least she is learning unlike a certain someone." Laura said as she gave Claude a glare.

"Fine fine, I'll go out. I wonder if those old geezers have anything fun." Claude said as he draped his coat over himself before heading out.

"Have a nice time. Make sure you don't get drunk to the point where someone needs to bring you home again." Laura warned him.

"I won't." Claude said as he closed the door.

…

"Ha~ All these children and their parents. Where did all 3 of mine go? One is old, the other is old, and the third is so young that I miss her already." Claude muttered to himself as he walked down the streets.

"Oh, I haven't had any of these in so long." Claude said as he looked at a food stall.

"Excuse me, can I have twelve of those?" Claude asked the woman running the stall.

"Sure thing." She said as she handed him 12 steak kebabs

"Thanks." Claude said as he gave her a gold coin.

"Oh no, I can't take this. This is too much." The woman tried to refuse.

"Don't worry about it. I haven't had these in a very long time. Just keep the change." Claude said as he gave her a smile before he took the bag and walked away.

"Thank you!" The woman said as she waved him goodbye.

"No problem." Claude said as he walked away while waving goodbye at her without turning his back.

'Looking at his face already pisses me off.' The men loitering around near the food stall all thought at once as they looked at Claude leaving.

These men were people who loved the woman that ran the food stall. She had refused all of their proposals so far, yet they won't give up.

So everyday, they just loiter around her food stall until the day she finally chooses one of them and says yes.

"You guys want to go beat him up? He is such an eyesore." A man asked the men around him.

"No worries, he probably has more money on him if he can give one gold coin out like that easily. Let's get him." The men said as they all started to follow Claude.

'Oh my? My trouble senses are tingling. I wonder why that is so.' Claude thought to himself as he continued heading to the bar.

"Chew chew, these taste so good. I wonder why did I stop eating them?" Claude asked himself.
