His feet dragged on the dirt path back from town as Inigo returned to camp, wearing a faintly red handprint on his face and carrying a handful of wilted daisies. His other hand held a small parcel of lye laundry soap, purchased so that he could wash the dung off his clothes-- a particularly displeased maiden had shoved him into a pile of manure.
Ā So, too, were his pockets empty-- the vendor insisted that he buy the lot (āYou break it, you buy it!ā) though he wasnāt entirely certain how oneĀ ābrokeā manure. The vast majority, heād given to farmers along the way back, and the rest heād given to a florist, who promised him a bouquet of fresh blooms tomorrow in exchange.
Just another normal day for Inigo, then.
āWhy is it that I, a nice guy, canāt get a break?ā Inigo whined out loud.Ā āEveryone hates me... guys, girls, and even most animals!ā
