"What are you doing?!" I asked with anger.
We were standing on the street and now a lot of people were looking at us. I just left the shop with my new equipment when I saw that Morgana and Arthur were arguing. Quite loudly to be honest.
"Ask him! You won't belive what he was saying." Morgana said and I looked at Arthur.
Was it something that stupid? No, Morgana has a tendency to say weird things. I shouldn't belive her just like that.
"What is it all about?" I asked him.
When I looked at him I could tell that he was really nervous now. His face was red and his eyes were just staring at the ground. After a moment he loudly swallowed his saliva and started talking.
"I w-want to travel with you."
Well, that was unexpected. He must be an idiot. I mean why would he want to travel with me? Maybe he wants to be adventurer?
"Why?" I asked out of curiosity.
"Come on, tell her!" Morgana said to him but I tried to ignore her.
Well, it didn't seemed like he was going to answer. He was blushing really hard, and now he was shaking too. Even more than me when I was still 70 years old. But why would he be so nervous about it? Was his reason really that stupid?
"S-Sorry!" he just said when I was still thinking and then he ran away.
That was really weird. Too weird.
"Have you done something to him?" I asked Morgana. I knew too well that she was good at bullying.

"It wasn't me. He's just an idiot."
"Yeaaah, for sure. Now tell me all about it."
"I won't." she said calmly.
"Why?"
"If he doesn't want to tell you, then I won't tell you either."
This is really weird. Was it something really that important?
As I was thinking, the sun started to disappear. We decided with Morgana that we will stay here for one more night, and tomorrow we will set off.
Our last night was spend mostly on preparations. We were packing our backpacks, checking how much food and water we have and then we talked about where we want to go.
I was thinking about capital city. It had the biggest mages guild, and if I wanted professional help I should go there. Before we went to sleep I asked one more time why Morgana argued with Arthur but she wouldn't tell me.
After that we stayed for our last night in the inn. It was a calm night and I slept well. When we wake up we went dowstairs to eat something, and when we were done we thanked the owner for his hospitality.
Then we set off. The sun was shining and I felt great. It was a really good time for an adventure.
I think that I will miss that city. Jerven wasn't really good for me when I was still an old man, but now after spending some time here I really started to like it. It was beautiful place with many great people. I even thought about visiting the fox girl, but it would probably be weird to visit someone you just met.
When I was thinking about all this stuff we started approaching the front gate of the city. There I saw him. In his white armour, standing there looking at us. Arthur.
"What is this idiot doing?" I heard Morgana saying beside me.
Well, it will be better to ignore him. I don't really know anything about him. He is not a bad guy, I'm sure, but I don't really want him to argue with Morgana one more time.
"Wait!" I heard his voice. Does he want to make a scene one more time?
"I'm really sorry about yesterday!" Arthur said as he bent down.
"Well, don't worry about it. Bye!" Morgana replied and grabed my hand. After that she started walking towards the gate.
"Wait I... I mean..." I heard his voice behind me.
I felt bad for him. When I was still in my tower I wanted to go on an adventure too. I knew how he fells. When I thinked about it I let go of Morgana hand and went to talk with him.
"Oh, you came back!" he said when I approached him. For some reason he was really happy about it.
"What do you want?" I asked.
"I w-want to travel with you."
"Why?"
When I said it he blushed a little. Then he looked me into the eyes and said.
"Because I like you."
