ASTRID looked at his two friends, staring at him with a mixture of curiosity, amazement, and worry. He sighed.
"How the two of us became friends is kind of long story," he said.
"I think we have plenty of time to hear about it," Kiran said before turning to Snow. "Right, Snow?"
Snow nodded. "We can talk about it over food."
They ordered lunch, and Astrid told them how he met Wulfric and how their relationship progressed. Of course, not including the fact that Wulfric confessed to him. Not that he was embarrassed about it. It just felt like he would be bragging if he did. Like saying, 'look, the rank two of the Empire confessed his love to me, aren't I amazing?'.
Although he knew Snow and Kiran wouldn't think that way, it's just felt shameless to say it himself. On that part, Wulfric was definitely much better. And yes, this was just him saying the other was shameless.
By the time he finished, they were on their dessert.
