"I am a poor man." Abobad replies," You didn't ask me to murder anyone, so I gladly take the job offered."

 

[PenBlade1326]

"I feel like many may be murdered in getting the book...I'm a scholar, I have business getting it. But bandits always attempt to steal it, I fear we may run into a few." Braxev said.

 

[Lance C]

" Perhaps but at the very least you didn't request that directly."

 

[PenBlade1326]

"True." Braxev replied.

 

[Lance C]

Abobad nodded," It is alright if things happen along the way."

 

[PenBlade1326]

Braxev nodded. "Let's just hope nothing comes our way."

 

[Lance C]

"Indeed." Abobad looked ahead," We are almost to the clearing."

 

[PenBlade1326]

Time passed as they reached the clearing, Braxev walked ahead of Abobad slightly.

 

[Lance C]

" Braxev, are you alright?" Abobad asked as they drew close to the clearing.

 

[PenBlade1326]

"Hmmph? Yes. Why do you ask?" Braxev asked, pausing for a moment.

 

[Lance C]

" You seem anxious." Abobad noted," Are you sure there is nothing wrong?"

 

[PenBlade1326]

"I'm sure...just cautious of bandits is all."

 

[Lance C]

" Bandits here? We are in the middle of the woods, my friend. Even Seleuc is not for another day or so of travel."

 

[PenBlade1326]

"I know...it's just...Hunters did kill Chanda...Hunters...working with bandits." Braxev said, referring to his dead lover.

 

[Lance C]

Abobad pursed his lips and put his hand on Braxev's shoulder." I know the world is a dangerous place. But you know I am more than just a woodsman. My job is not merely to get you through the great forests but also to protect you. I will do what I must to make sure we both survive."

 

[PenBlade1326]

Braxev let out a sigh. "That's what Chanda said...we were walking through a field, knowing we were likely being followed...he wanted to protect us both...but then he...he..." Braxev started, his voice faint.

 

[Lance C]

" Braxev..." Abobad squeezed the other's shoulder," Do you believe we are being followed?"

 

[PenBlade1326]

"No..since then I've been able to sense when Hunters are nearby...we're fine." Braxev said, voice breaking. "I'm sorry, I...I need a minute." He said, covering his mouth and shutting his eyes.

 

[Lance C]

Abobad gently rubbed Braxev's back," It is alright, I understand."

 

[PenBlade1326]

Braxev took a deep breath, his breath shaking. "I-I'm sorry." He said apologetically. His eyes glistened slightly when he opened them, greatly saddened by the memory of Chanda's death.

 

[Lance C]

" There is nothing to apologise for, my friend." Abobad assures.

 

[PenBlade1326]

Braxev wiped his eyes. "I lost Chana years ago...but it feels like yesterday." He said. "I'm a fool to grieve still..."

 

[Lance C]

Abobad griped both of Braxev's shoulders," You are no fool to grieve the ones you have loved. There is nothing foolish in mourning."

 

[PenBlade1326]

"He'd think I was a fool...c'mon, let's keep moving." Braxev said quietly, just wanting to avoid the subject and move onward on the journey.

 

[Lance C]

" Braxev," Abobad started," Those who keep their pain buried will only find that they are burying themselves."
