"What is he doing?", and "why does he look so scared?" thoughts flew through Razor's mind as he observed the boy miserably failing to take his sword from in between the rocks. He then realized that the boy was probably scared of the dark, but the problem was he didn't know how to make light, he never needed to anyway since his eyes were well adapted to the dark. "Maybe talking to him would solve the problem?" Razor thought, he knew he didn't know how to speak very well but it was worth a try:
-Do not be scared. I will not hurt you.
Seeing the other boy's face turn from desperation to confusion to relief was very confusing for the red-eyed one, then he heard the other's laugh:
-It's only a person! Ha, and I was here thinking you're a wolf. What a relief!
-But I am a wolf.
-Wait... THERE ARE TALKING WOLVES? Now that's something I didn't know... wait, does that mean you'll eat me? Please don't eat me... you said you wouldn't.
There were too many words for Razor to understand anything the boy said, and he got lost mid-sentence. He tried his best to make sense of anything, but the other talked too much and too fast:
-Can boy make light? If boy make light, then boy will not talk so much.
He stopped for a moment, thought a little and then said:
-Well... I can make light.
-Then make light.
-If you say so...
He got his pyro vision and lit up a flame, he set it by the floor and sat beside it. When he looked up from the fire, he saw the other for the first time:
-Weren't you a wolf a second ago?
He asked when he saw the boy, his gray hair was big and messy and looked like it hasn't been combed in ages, he had several scars on his face and his red eyes looked sharp, but tired in some way:
-I am a wolf.
-But... forget it.
He held himself back, he didn't even know the other and was scared he might hurt his feelings:
-So what's your name?
-I am Razor.
-What a cool name! I'm Bennett! But you can call me Benny, I mean, that's what all my friends call me.
-I am Benny's friend?
-Well... I guess so!
The boy laughed, then there was an awkward silence. They just looked at each other, but Bennett somehow found that somewhat comforting, at least he knew he was not alone in the cave.
Then he noticed the wolf boy's bleeding arm:
-Your arm! Here let me help you.
He got more bandages from his bag and made a gesture for the other to show him his arm, which got refused:
-I do not need bandages, but you, you do.
Razor said, shaking his head and pointing to the adventurer's arm. Benny looked at his arm and chuckled:
-Don't worry! Mine's not even hurting anymore!
-My arm too.
-Your arm what?
-Is not hurting.
The one with green eyes thought that the way his new friend spoke was rather funny, his voice was raspy, but friendly, like the one of an old man telling you a story from when he was young, only in this case he was young.
He then remembered that he had to head back to Mondstadt, shoot, his dads! They would be so worried if he didn't come back soon:
-Hey Razor.
-Yeah?
-So... the exit to the cave is kinda blocked, and I have to go back to Mond soon. Think you can help me with it?
-Razor help!
The boy got up and ran to the fallen rocks:
-Stand back.
He said Bennett immediately obeyed and crawled to the back of the cave. The red-eyed one then used his vision to concentrate electro energy in his left hand, charging it for a second. He hit the rocks with the elemental energy, making every single one of them crumble to dust.
The other boy's green eyes shined in amazement, clapping to his friend's work:
-Way to go Razor!
He stood up and gave the other boy a friendly hug, which the other awkwardly gave back. He got his bag and his fallen sword and was going to leave when he remembered the rain was still pouring, and lightning was still striking:
-Heck, the rain's still falling.
Bennett sat down again and dropped his bag quite annoyed. The other not understanding his frustration:
-Benny does not like the rain?
-It's not that. It's just that I might catch a cold, and if I do my dads will be very worried, and I don't want to stress them, you know?
He nodded:
-Yes. Lupical gets very worried when I get sick.
-Lupical? What's a Lupical?
He tilted his head:
-Benny not know?
-No...
-Lupical is my family! Lupical takes care of me. I protect my lupical.
-Ah! So Lupical is the name of your family! So your full name is Razor Lupical?
-My name is Razor. Lupical is my family.
-Your family name?
-My family.
He didn't understand what his friend was trying to say. He thought the way the other explained things was quite confusing. Then it hit him "Ah, I get it! Razor calls his family lupical" :
-I got it now, Razor! How did I not get it before?
He laughed.
The boys heard lightning and turned to see if it was close. It thankfully wasn't, but it reminded the adventurer about his dads and how they would be hell worried if he didn't come back soon. He looked at the sky and noticed it was already night, how did the time go so fast? The boy panicked, Razor noticed that and got confused, no, worried:
-Is Benny ok?
He put his hand on the other's shoulder:
-Im fine, I just really have to go home soon, but this stupid rain won't stop.
-I can take Benny home. If we go fast Benny won't get a cold.
-You sure?
The boy nodded:
-Ok... I trust you, Razor.
