Ah, and the answer they receive makes them smile. Unconsciously they place their free hand on their chest, right where their heart is. It is the sweetest feeling and for that moment they want to hold on to it as long as possible. After all, nothing lasts forever.
The only proper response they can give to that is holding on to Gil's hand a little tighter while a soft sigh escapes their mouth.]
Quite a good choice, Gil. They are very tolerable. Strong willed and ambitious too.
[They are getting closer to the city again, leaving the quiet pumpkin field behind them. The hugbugs, however, are still walking right behind them.]
Now how should we celebrate our reunion? [They nudge their friend, smiling broadly.] We could fight one another, not holding back. But we could also eat and drink until we are drunk and full.
