After not much time had passed,a tall man,a tall thin man with blurry eyes and a green arstotzkan uniform..The first one he had seen in a while,chalenks had a cyan one while vladimir had a brown one was coming towards them.
Despite how Chalenks used the last minutes to talk about how great was this man..How beautiful and kind and awesome he was,the big arstotzkan with a green uniform was just..sad.
Sad and..Lost
,,-..Old friend! Sergiu!..Hello!"
,,-..Hello Chalenks"
,,-..This is Vladimir,my soldier from Obristan"
,,-..hello"
He..looked so ..Lost..
,,-..Are you alright,mister?"
,,-..I am alright"
Chalenks sighted as he looked at the ground
,,-..He lost his girlfriend and..future wife.."
Sergiu nodded slowly.
Chalenks continued
,,-..The inspectot that had the grestin boarder at that time didn t let the girl in..She just left and..Y know how times are in kolechia..The same as they are in Arstotzka.Only the local survive"
,,-..She was from kolechia
,,-..She didn t had the soul of a kolechian,Sergiu"
The tired man sighted..It was clear he talked alot about this befoure since he was so calm and just..mentioning it
,,-..Elis-..i mean..she was a great..Great human..i don t despise that insepctor..i just don t understand how he could get all of the citation..Let members from tge order get in..and not let Elisa in.
,,-..He let members from the order of ezic?" Asked the fraile blonde arstotzkanian "
,,-..He did..He had been put on trial later than year after he shot a man the order had seen as a treat ...Apparantely the..uhm..Man in red,they called him..Didn t oppose any treat."responded chalenks while sergiu gased in the distance..
..The general looked at him,trying to give thebvest smile he could ..he didn t smilled all that often so he was oit of practice.
Sergiu really was..Lost..absent..Mentally killes by..Probably the death of his loved one or..War.or the betryal of that insepctor..Or perhaps all of them combined.
,,-..Well,we should get going!"
,,-..I still don t know where is this..safe place we re going to,general"
,,-..Viktor"
,,-yea!..viktor,sorry.."
Sergiu opened his kounth to talk while still staring in the same exact spot..being as blanc as a paper..as sad as a goodbye and as lost as a child in war
,,-..We re passing trough Kolechia,as I asume Vik told you.."
..Vladimir expected his beloved general to get mad at the nickname but he didn t even seem to notice.
He comtinued
,,-..we re staying there as little as possible..Then we ll go in Republia ..stay there for no longer than a few days..Our final destination? Impor."
,,-..Why impor?"
,,-..Obristan would had been the best option since they only ask for passports and entry tickets..but I am some of the order is going to be there since they have so little rules..So,the best place we could stay is the one focused on tourrist and all of their income comes from there..So Impor will be our new home..For a while."
Vladimir nodded in understanding.
Chalenks continued Sergius ideea
,,-..we would move there but..Cmmon,impor ain t Arstotzka.We ll just wait and see if the order takes over or not..If it does,well..We should travel to the far lands with Shae and other people of value..If it doesn t,we ll move back.."
,,-..And we are sure there isn t anything we can so to get rid of the order?"
,,-..They inflirtated in a corrupt country..As much as we do love this shit hole..We can t risk our lives for nothing..Because if we remain here and they take us out for knowing.."
...silence took over for a few seconds as sergiu looked up at chalenks
,,-..to much"
The general nodded
,,-..Then we ll die in vain.."
,,-..this is why you didn t want to know mor and leave,sir..?"
,,-..Viktor..And yes,vladimir.. Because i do not wish to know more..Each new information means more dying opportunities.."
,,-..Well..We.should get going to my place.We l leave in the morning ..as early as possible..Whatever you do..don t go on your own.Anywhere.Understood..? Kolechia is as dangerous as it gets."
The small arstotzkanian nodded.As the two bigger man walked in front,he followed them.
..it smelled like oil..Black..motor oil..And mint.
..Familiar smell..
He grabbed his uniform with care and sniffed it
..Vladimir still smelled like him..Like the inventor.
...he could still remember
...oh,how did he remember..every warm hug..every night they slept toghether ..every walk in the morning, when the sun rose or in the evening,when the sunset was lighting their paths..
...
,,-..why are you cewing,pink? "
.. he could rememver the first time pink was late ..He slept more because he spend the last night talking with him about stars..And what stars meant in some countrys
,,-..Oh,just some mint gum"
,,-..coukd you give me some?"
He smilled smugly
,,-..You want to share it or what?"
,,-I-..N..No!..i mean..No,nonono!..I just..it smells good and we don t have much of that in arstotzka!..a.and-"he was shutterimg
,,-Calm down buddy..I was just joking" said the inventor as he trew vladimir a pice of gum wrapped in foil,,-I really don t know why you panick so much"
,,-..Well..I..I don t know"
He opened the foil and pit the mint flavored trewt ij his mounth.The smell hit his nostrils imediatly.
Didn t smell like Pink exactly..Like his flavor of mint..It was alot more dull
But Vladimir didn t complain..
..He liked the thing Pink gave him..All of them even if it was small things like gum
,,-..do you know how to make bubbles?"
The tall man smilled and spoilled his hair
,,-Of course I know,but how could i do it while i have this mask?"
,,-..But i want you to teach me!"
Pink smilled..
,,-..maybe another time
..it was these moments vladimir remember the most..Moments like these that made him smilled..moments like eating mint bubblegum with him ...
..moments like these with him..
,,-Vladimir,are you coming?"
,,-O-Oh!"..,,-y-.yea!.i..i just..Wanted to tie my shoes! I m coming now!"
