Razor stood up and helped Bennett stand too. He grabbed the other's hand and held it firmly as he ran to the exit of the cave. He went fast, not stopping to look around to make sure there weren't any enemies nearby. The adventurer could hardly keep up, if the other let go, he would be lost in the middle of the forest, alone and in the rain. Thinking of that made him tighten his grip on his friend's hand.
The boys were getting soaked as the rain got harder, thunderstruck more frequently, and they started to fasten their pace. They were around Andrius's arena when lightning hit very close to them, if it was up to Bennett, they would get struck by lightning, but Razor was quicker, he dodged the strike and continued running as if nothing had happened. The green-eyed boy was mesmerized by his friend's skill, he forgot all his troubles and thought about how grateful he was to have people like this around. His friends at Mondstadt and now Razor, those people were always so nice to him, he just wished the others were as friendly as them, but he shook it off and focused on running.
When they got to the edge of Wolvendom, they were already soaking wet, the wolf boy stopped, but didn't let go of the other's hand:
-This is as far as I go. Benny... Benny will have to go alone now.
-Oh...
Bennett was sad that his friend didn't want to come with him, maybe he didn't like him. He didn't know, but he knew he liked him:
-Can... can Benny come again... another time?
-Of course, I can! I mean, if my dads let me... But don't worry Razor I'm sure they will! They're good folk!
That shook off all the bad feelings he had about his new friendship. Razor liked to hang out with him. And that made the boy happy:
-Later then?
He asked:
-Is Benny sure he'll come back?
-Sure!
-Okay... bye then. Friend.
He reluctantly let go of the other's hand and looking back one last time, he went away to look for the wolf pack.
The adventurer stood there for a moment and just watched as his new friend went away. Then he remembered he had to go back before he caught a cold. Running back to the city, he put a big smile on his face, he was soaked, his map was probably ruined, his dads would probably be very worried when he came back home and would ask him a million questions, but he couldn't help but feel that this adventure would change his life for better in some way and that presentment alone made him happy.
