As a follow-up to last week, no one asked what Derk does in his spare time… but he really wanted to tell you anyway.
Hi everyone! Well, what do I do in my spare time? I guess I don’t really have very much of it! I’m usually helping Boss out and going everywhere he and Lorelei go to protect them!
Here at the castle, I’m in charge of personnel – that means I interview all potential new minions. Or rather, this guy does…
Boss gives most of the orders, but sometimes I have to make sure they’re actually getting done. I’m also the one who listens to all the complaints. And I don’t just mean from Boss, haha- oh don’t tell him I said that.
I mean from the minions! I try to resolve their conflicts when I can. It can be a little tough to get people who are supposed to be evil to work together! But I think I do a pretty good job!
Other than that, well! I read a bit sometimes. Not as much as Boss though. Sometimes I read to Lorelei and sometimes we draw, do puzzles and all kinds of other stuff! But my favorite thing is cooking!
I know we have servants to cook for us, but I just like making my own meals a lot of the time. It’s more satisfying to eat something when you made it yourself, you know! Especially bacon.
One last thing is I like to call my family when I can. My parents live across the kingdom now, so I don’t get to see them very often. But I try to call them at least once a week and keep them up to date.
But… I try not to do it when Lorelei is around. I know she says she doesn’t care, but I still feel pretty bad.
I can’t even imagine what it would be like to not know your family at all. So I want her to feel like she has a family here. I can only hope she does.
