After returning home, Colin took out the small items from his bag one by one and placed them on his bookshelf. They were things like the toy from the children in Silverpine Village, the handkerchief a little girl had given him, the Halfling's Furnace Stone, and the small pebble from the Orc Tribe.
Before he knew it, his collection of these little knick-knacks was growing.
After he finished tidying up, Colin took a refreshing shower and lay down comfortably on his soft bed.
'Come to think of it, this bed feels too soft. Is sleeping on this bad for my back? Ah, whatever...'
Lost in thought, Colin slowly drifted off to sleep.
-----------------
Light filtered through his eyelids.
Colin, now awake, kept his eyes shut, sensing the brightness beyond his eyelids.
After a moment, he opened his eyes and sat up.
Colin glanced at the fireplace in the corner of the room. 'I should probably buy some tea bricks and a teapot,' he mused, 'so I can brew tea later on.'
