Smile CH1
Bishop was sitting alone in a abandoned that he had found in the darkness recesses of the forest he was traveling through. His back was pressed against the wall across from the door. He tensed slightly as it was opened but didn't relax when the farm-boy came in holding a small basket of herbs and fruit he was scavenging for them to eat.
"Bishop are you hungry?" He offered him another bowl that he picked up from his pack.
"If I was hungry I would get my own food" he barked looking back at his piece of widled branch now completely gone nothing but a nub left to look at his stomach betrayed him in his bout of individualism. The farm-boy handed him the bowl forcing Bishop to look up at him.
His benign smile made Bishop flinch 'it was that damn smile that made me agree to even let him follow me in the first place'. He took the bowl and started to eat the contents begrudgingly.
"Good huh?" he smiled his blonde hair was sticking to his face 'how long has it been since the pretty boy bathed, hmm he probably cries about how dirty he is while I'm not looking" Bishop laughed silently to himself.
Soon it was time to rest the farm-boy lay on a blanket that Gann I think his name was gave him before they had parted ways. He closed his eyes, near useless in the dark anyway, and let his mind wonder.
How well did he remembered the first time he'd seen Farm-boy strolling into the Sunken Flagon like he had always belonged there and his ragtag band of a demon, dwarve, and elf.
The memory nearly made him smile. It wasn't a happy smile. He had picked him right up with all the other scum, much against his will which he would always convince himself of his aura was that of a king or a beautiful whore being the force that drew him in.
The memory stung when he thought of why he was in this position in the first place betrayal the one thing he hated most but committed as if it was as easy as breathing. 'A lesson learned' it was bad karma to betray the farm-boy next time he won't be so lucky dying again is not a option.
The next morning
"Bishop, I'll have to go soon I promised Gann that we would see each other again" he looked at Bishop his eyes held not pity but something akin to. . . he couldn't think of a word to describe that stare. It made his skin crawl.
"Fine go to your lover what do I care" he spat shifting to face away from the farm-boy.
"I promise I'll buy you a drink next time you go to the Sunken Flagon" he joked knowing that if he went back he probably would be executed for killing the Knight Captain.
"Farmboy ju. . . just go if I have to deal with you any more I just might throw my shelf upon my sword" Bishop violently flick he wrist in the direction of the door.
"It's William, Bishop you should know even thou you did kill me, I always thought of you as my friend" he smiled sadly to himself trying to break through Bishop's cold exterior which was impossible for a boy like him.
'Why does my chest hurt even if he is sincere he is still leaving . . . sincerity has nothing to do with it he is just fool like all the rest trusting him until he leaves him for dead again' Bishop bitterly thought holding his bow tightly in his hand.
"William" the farm boy spun around hearing his name.
"Yes!"
"Your a gullible fuck and I killed you with out remorse the only thing I missed about you was that stupid smile of yours" he cursed him under his breath kindness from someone like the farmboy was pathetic.
"I'll miss you too Bishop" William smiled.
