A Winter Night
On an icy cold evening, a Portuguese man wearing formal clothing was walking alone on the streets. He wouldn't have caught much attention if it weren't for the fact he wasn't even wearing a winter coat or maybe a scarf. The people passing by thought of him as unusual because of that since they didn't know the fact that he can just let the snow pass through.
He didn't care about the few people stares and walked on to his destination while carrying two bags with him. He stopped when he met up with a girl who seemed to be seventeen to eighteen years old.
"What are doing out in the cold just wearing that?" said the girl with a concerned voice.
"Is the lady worried about me?"
"She is but don't call her that, my lord."
"If it is what pleases the lady then I'll stop, Alyce."
"Thanks then, Tyki."
"Aren't you cold, Alyce?"
"Only a little bit but I'm fine. Let's just go there. Lilia's waiting with the landlady. I asked her to look after Lilia so I can buy the things I've forgotten."
The Portuguese man took the lady's hand.
"Your hands are very cold. You're shivering."
"I'm just fine," said Alyce as she tried to take her hand away from Tyki's.
"You scold me about my clothing but you're much colder than I am. You're not even wearing gloves."
"You aren't wearing yours too."
"It seems I have forgotten. Let it be like this for awhile, Alyce. Just for the time being while heading back. It wouldn't hurt right? You're hands are shivering due to the cold."
"Fine but carry some of this too."
"Okay, Alyce."
.
I really felt cold despite wearing a scarf and a coat. I really shouldn't have forgotten my gloves. My hands are as cold as ice right now.
I was expecting Tyki to come but I didn't expect to meet him on the road. He was kind and polite as usual except for the part where he teases me.
We were about to head back until I stopped when he held my cold hand.
His hand was so warm. It felt comforting in this type of cold.
How come he wasn't as cold as I was? He's the one not wearing a coat nor a scarf.
I didn't really know and bothered as we walked in silence. It was indeed unusual but it didn't really matter.
