Day 16: Revenge of The Hootles

The trio hastily got up from their food and headed into the stone house. Louie paused, turned around and picked Följa up onto his palm. "You'll move quicker here!" Louie explained.

They entered through the doorway and Louie immediately felt relieved to be in a cooler environment. It took a while for Louie's eyes to adjust to the room after the brightness outdoors. Somewhere in a corner, he could already hear Mr Pronobo busying himself coming up with something for their new situation. Louie moved to the center of the room and placed Följa on a counter. He straightened himself and surveyed the room. It had only been a week or so since he last visited, but he already spotted new setups here and there.

In the far corner of the room, there was a long wooden table that was filled by every apparatus imaginable. Gentle smokes of various colours blew gently out of a few tubes. Next to the table, there was a large stone statue of a woman. Until this day, Mr Pronobo had refused to tell Louie who that lady was. He was sure it must be someone special.

Closer to the door, Mr Pronobo had a decent collection of plants and herbs. Louie thought it looked like a nice little bit of eden. This must also be the reason the house had an earthy scent about it. Mr Pronobo was bent over a large, handsome looking chest and Louie could hear him muttering to himself.

"Where is it? Where did I placed it— ouch!"

"Are you okay, Mr Pronobo? Do you need any help?"

"That's alright my dear boy! It should be here somewhere...ah-ha!"

And Mr Pronobo brandished a device from within the depths of the chest. "This shall solve all our problems!"
