Jay and Rick introduced themselves one after the other and got comfortable with each other's name right away.
Jay could clearly see the sparkly eyes of Rick which had a lot of respect for Jay.
Jay was humbled just by seeing that. But right now it wasn't the time to be thinking about that.
He said, "We should leave this place as soon as possible..."
Rick understood what he meant but he was a bit hesitant.
"I don't think that I can come along...", he lowered his gazes and said that.
"And why is that?", Jay asked almost immediately.
"It's because I want to stay with Master and grow as a blacksmith...", Rick said.
"...", Jay was dumbfounded.
He couldn't say anything right now because he understood that Rick wasn't aware that his master had already passed away.
"Also, my arms...", Rick felt sad when he talked about his arms but when he turned his gazes towards the his hand, he couldn't help but he shocked by it.
