"Welcome to no man's land, buddy." Gilbirt drew a small bucket of water from the old stone well. "Technically it's mine and that kid's land. So, Joker's Land?"
He paused for moment before giving the bucket to the newcomer. "I'm sure you need this more than I do. I swear it's safe."
The newcomer raised an eyebrow as he took a drink. Gilbirt took a seat on the edge of the well.
"Where you from?"
"Clubs. And you?"
Gilbirt looked up to the sky. He shrugged. "I was kicked out a long time ago. Caused too much trouble in castle so the jack created this place and sent me here."
"The kid too?"
"Peter? No, he told me he caused a riot because apparently he was an illegitimate child. I guess his mother went off with some other dude for a bit. Don't know why everyone was upset though. He was the youngest of, like, four or five."
"How long ago was this?"
Gilbirt shrugged. "I've stopped keeping track of time. How did you get here?"
"I was bringing a message to King Francis of the Kingdom of Hearts when my carriage broke down in a storm." the brunette stared into the half-full bucket. "My horse died so I had to walk around until I found shelter. I've been lost since then."
Gilbirt jumped down from his spot on the well. He held his hand out to the jack.
"What's this about?" the smaller man asked.
"I will lead you to the Kingdom of Hearts."
"No," the nobleman turned his back to the joker. "I have made the trip many times. I will find my way."
The jack walked away, enforcing what he said. Gilbirt had to stop himself from laughing.
"It's this way." Gilbert pointed in the opposite direction.
The joker puffed out his cheeks. "Fine. Take me."
You may be thinking where day two is at. I may have been late and I may have drawn it. I don't think you can put images on this site.
