“You needn't fear me, Marcel. I may look like a snake, but I assure you, my intentions are not as venomous as my appearance suggests," Aelfraed remarked, his voice smooth and laced with a hint of amusement.
Marcel snorted, unconvinced. "Forgive me if I find it hard to trust a man who looks like he's spent more time in the alleys than in noble company."
Aelfraed flashed a knowing smile, his eyes glinting with a mix of mischief and something deeper. "Appearances can be deceiving, my friend. Perhaps we share more in common than the two of us care to admit."
Marcel raised an eyebrow, intrigued despite himself. "Oh? And what might that be? Other than a penchant for trouble, I presume."
As they continued their ascent, Aelfraed began to weave a tale of his past in the bustling city of Aldoria. Marcel listened, his initial skepticism giving way to a growing sense of recognition.
"You are from Aldoria as well?" Marcel breathed, a flicker of realization dawning in his eyes.
Aelfraed nodded solemnly. "Aye, Marcel. We may have taken different paths, but our roots lie in the same soil. Fate has a twisted way of intertwining our lives, does it not?"
