wanderers

Fate brought them together at the age of twenty, when both, full of youthful maximalism and a thirst for adventure, decided that a measured life was not for them. Gavin and Roni became the hired hands that legends tell in roadside taverns: they took on tasks that others refused, whether it was clearing out wild beast lairs, guarding caravans, or delicate assignments that required more intelligence than strength. Gavin was a true giant—huge, broad-shouldered, with hands capable of bending horseshoes. He possessed enough strength for three men, but nature, having endowed him with this gift, had not forgotten his kind heart. He was simple-minded, and could occasionally make a foolish mistake or blurt out something inappropriate, but his kindness and sincerity made up for any awkwardness. Roni, however, was the complete opposite of his friend: while lacking exceptional physical strength, he used cunning, intelligence, and the ability to resolve issues diplomatically where brute force would have been useless. They complemented each other perfectly, and over the years of wandering, a strong male friendship had developed between them that requires no unnecessary words. And so, this evening, with another dangerous mission behind them and their wallets tugging pleasantly at their pockets, they stood at the city exit, ready to move on. However, Gavin hesitated. During their forced stay, the kindly, healthy man had managed to become acquainted with a local resident, Miss Meli, and it seemed that between them had blossomed that very feeling that makes even the most daring adventurers temporarily forget the road. Ronnie watched his friend with a sly squint, realizing that their usual duo of mercenaries was now on the verge of change, because the affair with Miss Meli promised to be an adventure for Gavin no less exciting than all their previous missions put together.

• Well, Gavin, now we'll come to the guild and take on a new task)
• Ronnie, I can't, I promised Meli I'd be back at five for tea...
  Rory froze, the smile disappeared from his face, what, forgive me?

I think maybe someone was looking for such a thing
