Bell the white core mage (Being rewritten)

Barfights and dances

The bromance starts now

Bell POV

"I'm telling ya man the ale here is amazing. One sip and it feels like your insides warm up. But not too warm" he explained. We were heading to a bar called the rosewood inn. I had heard a few comments about it here and there as I walked the streets of Orario.

"Alright. Alright, I get it man calm down we're still gonna get wasted" I chuckled. "Won't Nazha scold you?" Welf asked.

"She scolds me whenever I get into trouble. So we just don't have to get into any trouble and I'll be fine. Hopefully" honestly that girl is like a big sister sometimes. Wait a minute where did that thought come from?

We then arrived at the rosewood inn and I could smell good food coming from inside. We walked inside and took a seat at an empty table near the door. A barmaid then arrived to take our order.

"And what can I get for you two fine gentlemen," she asked with an accent that told me she came from the countryside.

"Two ales to start us off please," Welf asked. She looked at me and I nodded my head in agreement. She then walked off to get us our drinks.

"So how's it feel being a level two?" I asked.

"Don't feel much different but it feels pretty good. Don't really know how to describe it" Welf said.

"Yeah, I get that. I felt the same after my level up"

"Oh I also have another surprise," he said as if he just remembered something.

"And what is that?" I asked.

"I broke into the dark yellow stage," he said his grin getting wider. "Better pick up the slack Bell I'm catching up" he joked. I laughed because I knew I was about to crush his hopes.

"What's with that laugh? I don't like that laugh" he worriedly said.

"Jokes you on 'cause I'm about to break into the dark silver stage," I said. He looked at me in shock and admiration.

"Silver core at 14. Damn what do they feed you" he joked.

"Plenty of meat and veggies"

"Smartass," he said rolling his eyes.

"You asked"

"Here you are, gentleman. Anything else I can get you" the barmaid said as she put our mugs down.

"No thanks we're good for now," I said. She then looked at me and Welf before giving him a smile and a wink before walking away.

"Uh oh looks like I have a lady killer at my table" I joked as I took a sip from my mug.

"You're one to talk" he paused as he also took a sip from his. "Say what's the deal with you and Aisha," he asked.

"I don't know man. A few days after she joined my familia she told me she loved me" I said before taking another sip.

"And what was your response"

"That's the thing I haven't given her an answer yet" I grumbled.

"Dude you know that makes it look like you're leading her on"

"I know man. It's just. I don't know if I can give her the love she deserves. I mean she's a wonderful woman. She's funny and kind. She's playful and strong and by the gods is she beautiful. But what does she see in someone like me"

"She sees the man that saved her and her sister from slavery. She can see the kindness in your heart and doesn't shy away when you need to get violent. She sees you as a person with faults and doesn't shy away from them"
