On one side of the carriage was the reunion of the men. While the roads were rough, the carriage was surprisingly stable. Usually, they'd all practically be bouncing around at the cart's every movement, but instead, it was just a little shaky.
It was a curious thing, though the reunion was at the front of their minds for now.
"Otto…" Kalfene said, looking at his old friend who grinned at him. The place was small, so they really couldn't do proper greetings.
"It really is you guys," he said, looking at the others. "Everyone?"
"All of us are alive," Otto said. "Though we did lose a few servants back then..." he couldn't help but remember those who died in their escape, and their hearts clenched.
"I see…"
Otto pushed down the melancholy and focused on his old friend. "How has life been? I heard it hasn't been easy."
"It was okay. We were still useful to a point, so they couldn't be too hard."
