All I wanted was a way back home

Paolo went around the market, enjoying a pear as the winter chill hit his cheeks. Despite of the cold, today was one of the few sunny days where the sun was actually quite strong which made the harsh weather a bit more bearable. He was also in a good mood because soon he would see his dear friend Nahreida, an acquaintance he hadn’t seen in a while but that was also always a delight to see. Nahreida was always calming, like drinking a minty tea in a cold winter night.

“Nahreida, preciosa!!” he said greeting her excitedly “How are you doing? Any news to share with your favorite bard? Any gossip for me to delight on?” asked Paolo with a smirk after kissing her forehead and sitting on the chair, moving it to be next to her instead of facing the woman. He was a touchy feely person that loved closeness.
