"You always keep your word and shoulder your responsibilities, no matter the cost."
These noble traits deeply resonated within Tristan. He found himself drawn to this underappreciated side of Gabriel – the loyalty, the staunch commitment to his duties.
This was a character he was proud to follow, a sentiment he voiced clearly and resolutely, "I'd take a thousand days here in Wolfdale under your command, Gabriel, over traversing the country as a part of Fenrir's senatorial campaign team."
Gabriel, in response, raised an eyebrow at the professions of loyalty. Glancing across at Tristan with a smirk playing on his lips, he shot back, "Enough, Tristan! Quit the flattery! Don't think it changes your paycheck! You're already well compensated as it is!"
At this, waves of laughter echoed back from Tristan, filling the space between them with a lighthearted camaraderie that spoke of years of shared experiences and trust.
