Description: Augustus and Mattholomule started off on a bumpy road, like a rattling cart ride on the Knee. But after the two join forces in protecting the Looking Glass Ruins from Glandus thieves, an opportunity strikes to build their relationship. This has Gus eager to make a new friend, but Matt is a bit more wary. Trapped in an independent state of mind, Matt has only himself to turn to while navigating this new friendship, and only himself to figure out the source of a confusing new feeling that grows stronger by the day. Will his relationship with Gus prosper, or will his stubbornness get in the way? I hope you enjoy my work! Check out the introduction chapter for more information, and happy reading! Sincerely, Beau
