"I-I don't h-hate y-you because... I-I know that wasn't-t y-you..." he said softly. Arron smiled gently at the knight, just wanting him to feel better.

The knight couldn't hold it in any more, and broke into tears once again, burying his face in his hands.
"I'm...still so sorry...." he cried. It seemed like it would be very difficult to get it through to him that he was forgiven.

Arron pulled Talbot tighter & rubbed his friend's back as he sobbed. Humming softly to try to get the knight to calm down. The melody was soothing & soft, almost like a lullaby.

Sure enough, the knight slowly started to calm down, taking deep breaths. He Lowered his head.
"Arron... Atticus. You... forgive me...?" he asked in a quiet, low voice.Atticus growled softly, nodding his large fluffy head.

Smiling & offering Talbot a handkerchief to wipe his eyes with, Arron nodded. "Y-Yes..." he said softly, "We forgive you..."

Talbot took the handkerchief and dried his eyes with it, breath trying to steady itself.
"I'll... do all I can to... be worthy of that forgiveness..." he responded, bowing his head.

With that statement, Arron picked up the plate & sat it in Talbot's lap. "Well... y-you c-can start by-by eating." he said with a small smile.

"Ah.. yes... whatever you say." he nodded, taking the food and starting to eat. He appeared to be acting more subservient, much like when his former mistress would command him. It was likely due to the fact that he felt low, and wanted to do whatever he could to make up for what he'd done.

"...Pl-Please d-don't say th-things like th-that... Y-You are only de-degrading y-yourself m-more..." said Arron, "T-Talbot... j-just please... continue as-as if yesterday didn't h-happen." With that, Arron grabbed his own plate to eat as his stomach was starting to interrupt the conversation. The mechanic was not going to suggest they leave for the kingdom until he saw that the knight was in fit mental condition.

"Ah... sorry..." the knight responded quietly, hanging his head.
"I can't so easily act like nothing happened. My conscience won't allow it. I feel like... I have to make up for it... or perhaps face the same kind of suffering I caused to be at equal ground." he explained sadly.

That statement made Arron put his fork down. "...Let's not dw-dwell on this... It-It's only going to m-make you fee worse..." he said before thinking for a few minutes, "...H-How about we sw-swap st-stories?"

"Swap.. stories?" Talbot looked up from his food a moment, then gave a gentle nod.
"All right. What kind of stories did you have in mind...?" he questioned before eating some more.

The young man thought for a few moments. "H-How about something h-happy..?" he mumbled, "Oh! Wh-When I was a-a kid I-I ended up c-causing a-a fruit c-cart to g-get loose & it-it cr-crashed... Th-There was fruit ev-everywhere... My-My brother & I were tr-trying sw-swipe some of th-the fruit from th-the seller & I-I ended up pulling th-the brake out because I-I was trying to pull my-myself up in-into the cart. Th-There was th-this p-perfect looking piece of-of f-fruit at the v-very tip top of th-the pile. It-It crashed while my-my brother & I-I were st-still in th-the cart... We-We smelled like fr-fruit for weeks..." Arron was smiling at the misadventure that had happened long ago.

Talbot smiled softly at the story, finding it to be endearing, and quite funny.
"Ah, did you at least get the fruit you'd reached for?" he asked, curious, "or... was your effort... fruitless...?" the knight added, jokingly.

The pun made Arron laugh. "No-No I-I never did... We-We ended being gr-grounded for a-a month. My-My brother st-still hates th-the t-type of fr-fruit th-that we-we were tr-trying to-to t-take." he said before adding, "Wh-What st-stories do-do you have..?"
