[skyward_eyes]

Ah.

"Well I have never been accused of being wise before."

[unswervingcompanion]

The knight smiled. He himself would never hear such words spoken about himself either, but it was nice to hear that it seemed he was someone that recognized the wisdom in the other.

"I believe it is possible that everyone has some form of wisdom. And I thank you for sharing yours."

[skyward_eyes]

Again he says something that makes Nida smile. Yeah, he could accept that.

"Clearly you've got a lot to share too.

[unswervingcompanion]

Hendrik shook his head. Jasper was the wiser of the two. And as far as wisdom he had much for battle and how not to treat one's oldest friend.

"I find that at the moment, I do not. But surely at some point that will change."

[skyward_eyes]

"Do you not? You have given me some insight. Surely that counts."

Or so Nida believes.

[unswervingcompanion]

Hendrik smiled very briefly.

"If I have done so, then I am grateful to have returned the favour."

[skyward_eyes]

Returned the favor? Oh he didn't think so actually.

"I hope there is a way I can repay you."

[unswervingcompanion]

The tall knight paused. He wasn't looking for repayment or anything of the sort so he was a little lost at that. However he smiled. "I am sure that if that is your wish, that will happen at some point."

This place was weird that way.

[skyward_eyes]

"I'm rather big on repaying my debts," Nida said. "Whether the person believes they are debts or not."

[unswervingcompanion]

The man's worth only grew in the knight's eyes with that statement.

"Indeed, repaying a debt at a first opportunity is a noble effort and endeavour. That is common practice for us back home."

For his own knights anyhow.

[skyward_eyes]

"That's honorable to hear," Nida answered with a smile. "That's a good way for people to operate if you ask me."

And he wasn't being asked. He got that.

[unswervingcompanion]

Hendrik nodded. "Is that not how it went in your world, if I may be so bold as to inquire?"

He just wanted to make certain that he wasn't overstepping his bounds here.

[skyward_eyes]

"We were a world at war. So no, it wasn't common."

And that was a bit annoying at times.

[unswervingcompanion]

Well that made sense.

"How long had you been at war?"

[skyward_eyes]

"Not as many years as you'd think, but it did keep happening," Nida answered with a smile.

[unswervingcompanion]

Hendrik shook his head. "I hope your world finds peace some day."

And his words were sincere of course.

[skyward_eyes]

"I do too. But I won't be there to see it I think," he says with a shrug.

[unswervingcompanion]

The knight nodded as he wondered about his own world in that regard.

"That is indeed rather unfortunate."

[skyward_eyes]

"I suppose," Nida says, his voice low and... sorrowful. He was lucky, though, that Julia picked up on this. The feline rubbed her head against Nida's cheek. Which was skin to skin contact, and that made Nida sigh contentedly.

[unswervingcompanion]

The knight noted the sad look on the man's face and his heart felt slightly heavy. The man must have been through quite an ordeal and war took a toll on everyone even if they weren't directly involved.

He noted Julia had come up and was giving the man attention which made him smile. "It is indeed fortunate that your companion is here to comfort you."

[skyward_eyes]

"yeah," he says with a soft smile. "She's a comfort, a reminder of people I loved."

But he didn't think it was going to be that easy.

[unswervingcompanion]

Hendrik wished Obsidian was here, because that was his best friend in animal form although he now had a token of his very first friend thanks to Halcyn. He planned on getting a sword and placing the oath necklace on it and make some sort of shrine. But for now he looked at the cat again.

Maybe he should get a cat and call it Jasper, it would be very fitting.

With a nod, the knight smiled. "Then she is indeed a good friend."

[skyward_eyes]

"The best," Nida confirmed with a nod before Julia mewled.

"And I think she's getting hungry."

Wrap?

[unswervingcompanion]

The knight nodded. "In that case, it was good to speak to you, and enjoy your time with your companion."

With that he turned and left.
