Yeah, no, not happening.

Walking with a mercenary was really one of the last things on your bucket list, but... things did tend to change when said mercenary was your best friend. And probably only friend. He was more reserved than most, but he didn't hate you so you both kind of stuck.

You had some other friends, though, they were mutual through Naib. And the odd bunch but, you'd didn't really mind. They didn't really hang out with you all that much, but they were friendly and civil enough to give you a wave outside of matches or to talk over dinner in the manor.

To put thing's simply, your only friend was Naib, a person who had other friends to turn to if he lost you.

Ouch.

Worst part, he was so indifferent about things! You could call him names and he did not care, but if you even thought about taking his food it was your hand stabbed with a fork. Seriously, you'd seen him do it.

But, during a time when maintenance was going on, everyone got free time to hang out. Minus trying to kill each other. You were on a walk through Darkwoods with Naib, it was the furthest from the manor to your knowledge.

Whilst walking you suddenly had a thought, a more so depressing though, but an idea you put to the test immediately.

'Would he even noticed if I just stopped?'

You wondered and so silently, you stopped walking. Watching him to see him take one more step, turn, grab you by the ear and start dragging you along.

"Yeah, yeah, nice try. Hurry it up." Naib mumbled under his breath a few Nepali swears of annoyance as he dragged you along.

"Ow- Hey! I can walk!" You tried to protest, batting away his hand which only gave you a chastising 'Wack!' on the back of the head before he let you go.

"Yeah, you better..." Naib grumbled as he stuffed his hands back into his pockets. "You stop again I'm dragging you back to the manor."
