Chapter 210 The Dance of Fate (2/2)

”Well...it was never really awkward before,” Jane admitted.

Right. Of course it wasn't. Rassa was making it awkward. Awkward because this was a damn illusion and he didn't share any memories with his best friend except for those from before he was six.

”Is the labour in the fields okay? With your injury and all?”

”I'm fine, the work is fine,” Rassa said, ”A bit more interesting than picking fruit in the orchard if I'm being honest”.

Jane nodded, ”Yeah, once you were old enough to work in the fields you went there. You always said that the work wasn't challenging or interesting enough in the orchards. I don't know what more there could be in the fields, but I admit I haven't worked there myself”.

”I thought you would have been competitive enough to try it,” Rassa said.

Jane scoffed, ”I did. Mother and Father banned me from following you”.

Rassa chuckled and Jane glared at him.

”Sorry, it just sounds so much like you,” Rassa said, ”I'm imagining pouty faced Jane”.

Jane pouted and Rassa pointed at her, ”Yes, that's it”.

He laughed and she joined him. After a moment they were quiet again, ”So what did you do instead? Just stay in the orchard?”

Jane shook her head, ”I started learning how to bake from your mother. When I got good the baker took me as an apprentice”.

Rassa smiled, ”So that's why I proposed huh?”

Jane looked at him in surprise and he held up the almost finished Apricot Bun in his hand, ”I'd get an unlimited supply”.

Jane smiled back, ”Well, it wasn't said explicitly, but I don't doubt that was one of the reasons”.

”Huh,” Rassa replied, as he paused in front of her house, ”Well, I guess I shall just have to uncover a few more”.

Jane looked at her house then back at him, ”Thanks for walking me back”.

Rassa nodded, ”My pleasure. Thanks for agreeing to be my friend...despite how awful I've been at it for the past month”.

Jane nodded, ”You have been...but I guess I can enjoy watching you uncover those reasons again”.

”See you tomorrow?”

Jane smiled, a glint in her eye that hadn't been there before, ”Tomorrow. Good night, Rassa”.

”Good night, Jane”.

Rassa watched her enter the house, then he turned and walked towards his own.
