It was raining that sun, so the magic shop remained closed for the time being. Clover and her grandpa were enjoying the sound of the rain from inside, having some of the special tea that she liked so much.
“Tell me, Clover,†he asked, smiling as always. “You’re always imagining tales about different people, yet you haven’t written any about yourself. If you were a character from your stories, who would you be?â€
The girl seemed to take a few seconds to consider this. Her reply, however, was firm, with no doubts slipping through her tone.
“I’d be the ghost of a bard.â€
“A ghost?â€
She nodded. “That way, I could observe everything without being seen, and then I could write songs about all the things I witnessed.â€
“Ho ho ho, not bad. So, who would I be?â€
“You’d be a savior!†This new reply didn’t take a single second to leave her lips, as if she’d known the answer all along.
“A savior, uh?†He couldn’t help but chuckle. “Don’t you find it magical enough if I’m still a crazy inventor who owns a shop of wonders?â€
Clover was left in thought for another small moment, before she nodded to his words. "You're right…†she admitted, and turned her head to her tea.
The next bit was said with a small voice and a slight smile.
“But you’d still save me.â€
