![]() He returned to the wagon to find Cort standing on the spokes of one of the wheels, fussing over the load. When adding one more cabbage would have caused the wagon to overflow, Petra paid the farmer with silver coins. When Petra returned with another full basket, Cort again traded him his empty basket. Petra rolled his eyes and returned to work. As he started for the farmer’s stand again, he glanced back to see Cort picking up heads one at a time from the basket at his feet and placing them carefully and individually into the wagon, rather than dumping the whole basketful in at once. “Really? I never noticed.” Petra bent over and picked up the empty basket. Petra handed him the full basket, and Cort’s eyes widened as his arms drooped. “No, I feel great.” Cort kept his arms outstretched. “You take the empty basket and fill it up again.” “Here, I’ll take your cabbages,” he said brightly. ![]() He put it on the ground and held out his hands. This time, when Petra returned to the wagon, Cort met him with an empty basket. Petra, and theoretically Cort, had to buy dozens. ![]() The wives and servants who bustled through the market shopping for their household needs could just pick a couple of heads off of the farmer’s table. The Temple cooks required cabbages in rather alarming numbers. At the farmer’s canvas-shaded stand, he refilled his basket for the umpteenth time. He groaned and threaded his way back through the crowded market, sprawled along the east wall of City Primaxis. It wasn’t that he didn’t think about girls-he thought about them quite a lot-it was just that there was very little he could do about those thoughts. Though still a Priest-Apprentice, he would be allowed to roam the city more or less at will during his free time. He’d have plenty of time to talk to girls when he turned eighteen in a couple of years. ![]() Girls weren’t allowed in the Grand Temple of Vekrin. Petra didn’t see much future in talking to some servant lass he’d likely never see again. It seemed that whenever Petra and Cort were sent to the market to bring back fresh food for the Temple kitchens, Petra alone focused on the produce. Cort remained entirely focused on a pretty, brown-eyed, barefoot serving girl, talking to her in a low voice while she smiled at him and twirled a strand of her long blonde hair on her finger. He didn’t even look around to watch Petra work. He also remained unhelpful while Petra continued to carry cabbages to the wagon. But Cort, his fellow Priest-Apprentice, his roommate, and supposedly his friend, remained disappointingly unfried. As he dumped the vegetables into the wagon bed, he gave Cort a glare that should have called down Blue Fire from Vekrin and fried the other boy on the spot. “Oof!” With a grunt, Petra lifted another basket full of cabbages to shoulder-height, wondering how every basket could be heavier than the one before when they all held the same number of cabbages.
