Reminiscing

Sip after sip, soon you take the liquid inside your glass down to a fraction of what it originally was and so does Archi.

“Remember when we were kids and started taking those lessons together?” He says as he plays with the glass in his hand.

“Of course. You weren’t much of a royalty when I first arrived, I must say” you say causing you both to let out a small chuckle.

“Like you can talk. You were merely a simple street rat before you met me” he adds on causing another chuckle.

“And I do remember how quickly you were defeated when we were duelling” you say followed with a little chuckle.

“Oh come no Armand, you know i’ve never been one for fighting” he says still focusing on his glass.

“That is why I have been appointed as your bodyguard my dear Archi” you say arrogantly clearly proud of your skills set.

“Yes yes, you do have a way with swords-“

“And guns.”

“- And guns, that I can admit” he says whilst getting cut off mid sentence. “However, you weren’t always as academic as me my dear friend” he adds on and you simply nod your head in agreement as you both let out a little chuckle.

The sounds of the wooden wheels rolling over the cobblestone floor alongside the dropping of the rain upon the carriage is soothing and the voice of your dear friend puts you at peace too.
