The warmth from Nakai's breath sent shivers down Wang Bao's back, but he didn't want to give in so easily. Before Wang Bao could say anything he was sitting on Nakai's lap, his back leaning against Nakai's bare chest. All Nakai was wearing was a pair of shorts, meaning Wang Bao could feel every firm muscle and curve under his body. Nakai worked fast and pulled Wang Bao's feet up to rest on his spread thighs, but Wang Bao was playing hard to get; he quickly snapped his legs shut by pressing his knees together, however he left his feet to rest on Nakai's thighs. Nakai didn't care whether Wang Bao kept his legs open or not, as his hand snaked up Wang Bao's shirt, grazing over the soft blushing skin and nipples. It was obvious Wang Bao's breathing had quickened, and Nakai whispered in his ear again.
"Come on, tell me."
Goosebumps rose all over Wang Bao's body but he refused to say it out loud. While shaking his head, Wang Bao shut his eyes tightly, keeping his mouth firmly shut as well. Nakai was enjoying the game Wang Bao was playing and to tease the young man some more, he sucked on Wang Bao's soft earlobe while his hand slid down to inside the now tight shorts. Before Nakai could properly touch the shaft hardening between Wang Bao's legs, his wrist was pulled back gently. The power in Wang Bao's grip wasn't strong enough to stop him though, and Nakai started rubbing Wang Bao's cock over his underwear. When Wang Bao felt his hidden area being fondled gently, he melted into Nakai's arms with his hand limply holding Nakai's wrist. With Nakai's mouth still close to Wang Bao's ear, he whispered an order.
"Open your mouth and spread your legs."
Nakai used his free hand to push two fingers into Wang Bao's mouth, stretching it wide open. Wang Bao bobbed his small head as if he was actually giving Nakai head, at the same time streams of slick saliva dribbled from his mouth, giving his beautiful blushing face an air of perversion. Both of Nakai's hands were quickly coated in Wang Bao's juices as he continued playing with the man's body. The more heated Wang Bao became, the more his body twitched and moved with Nakai's hands, almost like he was no longer in control of his own body. It wasn't long before Wang Bao started grinding against Nakai's hard crotch, attempting to pull his shorts off to take things further. Now that Wang Bao was no longer playing hard to get, Nakai got the hint and pulled Wang Bao's shorts to his knees. Pulling his own waistband down next, Nakai rubbed his swollen head against Wang Bao's aching hole, the tip of his shaft was already slick with pre cum while Wang Bao's hole tried to swallow him dry.
Nakai wasn't moving quick enough for Wang Bao, and he reached between his legs to try and push Nakai's cock inside him, but he was stopped before he could injure his backside. With one hand Nakai pushed Wang Bao forward to lean against the table, with his other hand, Nakai grabbed the small bottle of oil from the counter behind him. Using the two fingers that were still wet with Wang Bao's spit, Nakai fingered Wang Bao's twitching hole, pouring in a small drizzle of oil with every pump. They had never used any form of lube other than Nakai's spit, and Wang Bao moaned loudly as his insides softened and stretched quickly, the ache in his gut growing with every heated second. Once Nakai was happy with how stretched out Wang Bao was, he put the oil back on the counter and rubbed his throbbing shaft with his oily hand. With Wang Bao kneeling on his thighs impatiently, Nakai finally pushed the tip of his cock inside. Nakai wanted to go slow and prolong the pleasure of entering such a tight, wet warm space but Wang Bao was too hungry. With the tip already stretching his hole, Wang Bao sat back on the large cock, gasping when his backside collided with Nakai's hips for the first time.
Both men moaned loudly at the sudden full intrusion, Wang Bao had never been able to take Nakai's full length but now he was kneeling down, his stomach bulging grotesquely with nothing left of Nakai's cock to take. Wang Bao leaned back into Nakai's bare chest and groaned wildly as cum squirted out of his twitching cock, spilling onto the floor and table. Nakai could feel Wang Bao's insides spasm and twitch around his cock wantonly. The sensation made Nakai want to stay buried deep inside Wang Bao's warm body, and continuously empty his seed. Just the thought alone made a little semen spill out, but Nakai quickly regained his composure and held onto Wang Bao's hips firmly, bouncing him up and down at a slow speed. Wang Bao was yet to recover from his euphoric orgasm when he felt his insides empty, only to be filled again. His entire body went slack, and his vision white as Nakai controlled the movement of his body, lifting it up effortlessly only to drop it down on the enormous shaft, as if he was churning butter with his insides.
Along with Wang Bao's animalistic grunts, Nakai also let out his own groans from the pleasure and tightness sucking on him. When his entire shaft would penetrate Wang Bao's insides, he would follow by pulling out to the tip only to thrust back inside again, connecting Wang Bao's buttocks to his hips. Although he could take it easily, Wang Bao felt breathless with every gentle thrust against his body; his mind, body and soul had never felt so full before. The sensation was so intense it was quickly beginning to feel extremely overwhelming. Nakai slowly stood up and laid Wang Bao forward to rest on the table, at the same time he held Wang Bao's legs firmly and started thrusting a little harder. The new position only made Nakai reach higher depths inside Wang Bao, and his overwhelmed mind finally tipped over the edge. Fat tears started streaming down Wang Bao's cheeks as more cum leaked out of his swinging cock, joining the cold puddle that was on the floor. Nakai kept his thrusts light compared to usual, but when he heard Wang Bao let out a choked sob, he stopped abruptly. Wang Bao tried to tell Nakai to keep going, but he was left speechless when he felt the thick thing filling his body suddenly pull out. The sudden emptiness inside his body was hard to take, and it made Wang Bao feel as if he was suddenly all alone. Wang Bao cried even harder at the sensation and Nakai quickly turned him around, sitting Wang Bao on the edge of the table in order to look at him properly. Wang Bao wiped at his teary eyes roughly but he still couldn't get any words out, all that he could muster were loud sobs. Nakai looked at Wang Bao with a tender gaze while asking softly.
"Did I hurt you? Was it going too deep?"
Wang Bao quickly shook his head, the emptiness in his stomach was making his heart beat anxiously, and he wanted it to stop. With tears still streaming down his cheek, Wang Bao reached around Nakai's shoulder to hold on tightly, followed by lifting his butt off the table. Nakai quickly caught on and held under Wang Bao's thighs, holding the sniffling man close to him. To Nakai's surprise, Wang Bao started grinding his hips against his stomach, pleading with a congested voice from his crying.
"Hold me...Please. Hold me like this, and fuck me."
Wang Bao looked up at Nakai with tears falling from his black eyes. He could see a faint blush form all over Nakai's body, settling his heart a little bit but not enough to calm him. While holding Wang Bao's body and desperate gaze, Nakai pressed the button under the table with his foot, and within a few seconds the table became flush with the floor. With more space, Nakai stepped forward and pressed Wang Bao's back against the cold wall. As soon as Wang Bao felt the cold metal touch his back, Nakai used one hand to push his cock back inside. Nakai bucked his hips like a wild animal and filled Wang Bao completely, giving Wang Bao the sensation he had been wanting. With Wang Bao crying and moaning at the same time, Nakai lifted Wang Bao's legs to wrap around his waist firmly. With there being no risk of Wang Bao falling, Nakai used his hands to grope Wang Bao's buttocks, kneading the soft mounds roughly while his hips pushed forward with more power. While Nakai did the work, Wang Bao slowly felt the anxiety that had filled his body be replaced by Nakai's cock; within a few seconds of feeling overwhelming fullness, Wang Bao's eyes rolled back and his mouth hung open as clear liquid squirted out of him, despite experiencing another intoxicating orgasm, Wang Bao couldn't stop crying. Nakai's grunts and moans soon covered Wang Bao's loud sobs, he wanted to make Wang Bao feel better but with every orgasm, Wang Bao would keep crying. Growing a little anxious himself, Nakai dipped his head down and covered Wang Bao's mouth with his own. Their tongues pushed and twirled around one another while Nakai pumped his hips forward with as much force as he could muster. Wang Bao let out a muffled scream and his nail scratched against Nakai's broad back, almost drawing blood. Another climax sent Wang Bao into another crying fit and Nakai finally pulled away, wanting to pull out again.
Before he could move his hips back, Wang Bao looked at him with anxious red eyes, his legs and arms tightening around the Giant. Although he felt incredibly heated and wanted to continue, Nakai was worried about Wang Bao and asked.
"Does it hurt? We don't need to keep going, if you don't want to."
Wang Bao started crying again at the thought of Nakai leaving his body and he shook his head, begging Nakai again through his tears.
"No...keep going. I want you to cum in me... Please, Nakai."
Hearing Wang Bao say his name with those words did something to Nakai, his cock hardened even more than it already was, and he rammed himself into the deepest parts of Wang Bao violently. At first he wasn't sure if Wang Bao would be able to handle it, but everytime he tried to slow down, Wang Bao would beg him to keep going. The loud sound of their bodies echoed throughout the entire submarine until Nakai finally felt the familiar feeling in his loins. Nakai pushed his lips onto Wang Bao's again as he moaned loudly; his orgasm was so intense that his legs spasmed violently while a large load emptied into Wang Bao's churned insides, making his belly swell more than usual. At the same time Wang Bao's body jerked and clenched around Nakai tightly; Wang Bao had climaxed so much he could only achieve a dry orgasm that left him dazed and teary eyed.
With their bodies cooling down, Wang Bao's crying had stopped but he continued to cling to Nakai. Their bodies were still connected and Nakai tried to put Wang Bao down in order to pull out, but Wang Bao only dug his nails deeper into Nakai's back in refusal. Nakai didn't want Wang Bao to start crying again, but they couldn't stay like this. While rubbing Wang Bao's back softly, Nakai asked in a quiet voice.
"Are you sure it didn't hurt? What's wrong, Wang Bao?"
Wang Bao didn't reply, all he did was dig his face into Nakai's shoulder stubbornly and refuse to let go; Nakai had no idea what was going on, but he didn't want to stand in the dining area holding Wang Bao all day. Because they couldn't fit inside the small shower cubicle together, all Nakai could do was kick off his shorts then walk into the bedroom, and lay on the bed. With his shaft still inside Wang Bao, Nakai laid on his back and Wang Bao stayed glued to his front. Nakai was deeply concerned about Wang Bao's sudden crying fit, but he didn't want to force him to talk about it. With one hand resting on Wang Bao's precious buttocks, Nakai used his other hand to gently rub Wang Bao's back, hoping to soothe him enough to get him to talk. Nakai couldn't see if Wang Bao was awake or not, but he continued to rub his back. After some time Nakai felt sleepy as well, when he suddenly felt Wang Bao lift his hips up and Nakai's flaccid shaft slipped out of his back entrance. Although Wang Bao wasn't crying, nor stuffed with Nakai's shaft, he didn't lay on the bed beside Nakai. He just laid back on Nakai's chest and stomach comfortably. Now that Nakai knew Wang Bao was awake, he finally asked him.
"Are you okay now? Do you want to tell me what made you so upset?"
Wang Bao didn't want to admit that he was scared Nakai was going to leave him, especially since at this moment in time it didn't make sense. Instead of coming up with an excuse, Wang Bao buried his face into Nakai's neck, refusing to answer. Nakai felt Wang Bao could be childish at the worst of times and he quickly rolled over, forcing Wang Bao to look at him by holding his chin firmly. Now that he could see Wang Bao, Nakai noticed Wang Bao's eyes were all swollen while his nose and lips were a cute pinkish red. Nakai leant down and kissed Wang Bao's swollen lips gently before pulling away to ask one more time.
"Tell me what happened. Why were you so upset?"
Wang Bao wanted to stay stubborn a little bit longer but when he met Nakai's worried gaze, he couldn't help but be honest with himself and Nakai.
"...I was scared you were going to leave me...When you weren't inside of me, I felt so lost and empty, but It wasn't just a physical emptiness ...In my soul as well...I thought you were going to leave me like my Father and Lei, and that scared me."
While Wang Bao slowly explained what he had been feeling, he used a finger to trace Nakai's features until he reached his mouth, when he tapped against the thick lips Nakai swiftly opened his mouth and bit the small finger softly. Wang Bao smiled at the action and wriggled his finger like how Nakai would. After a few seconds, Nakai let go of Wang Bao's finger, his eyes focused on Wang Bao's black eyes. After he had heard Wang Bao's quiet confession, Nakai couldn't help but admit something as well, his face leaning closer to Wang Bao's as he talked.
"For a while now I've been feeling uncomfortable whenever I see you're upset. I was so set on hating you, but somehow you've wormed your way into my heart...But I'm not mad about it"
Nakai's lips were rubbing against Wang Bao's lips as he said the last word. Wang Bao whispered back his own response with his eyes closed.
"What does that mean?"
All Nakai wanted to do was kiss Wang Bao's swollen lips, but he forced himself to answer Wang Bao in order to make his feelings clear.
"It means I like you and want to be with you. So don't worry about me leaving you, cos' I'm not going anywhere."
Before Wang Bao could reply, Nakai pressed his lips down onto Wang Bao's firmly, sucking on Wang Bao's bottom lip until the small mouth had opened enough for his tongue to slip inside. Wang Bao wrapped his legs around Nakai while his hands ran through the mess of hair on Nakai's head, pulling the Giant down onto him more. Nakai used his own hands to pull Wang Bao up into his hips, and their naked lower halves rubbed against each other roughly; with Wang Bao's insides still slippery from the oil and cum, Nakai pushed his erect shaft back inside Wang Bao. This time there were no tears, only loud grunts and moans from both people. In the front of the submarine on the control panel, the alarm was sounding loudly, signalling that they had arrived at their destination. Nakai ignored the alarm from the autodrive as he fucked Wang Bao two more times. By the time he had finally pulled out, Wang Bao's entire body felt overly sensitive. If Nakai were to poke him, he felt like he would cum.
The water had darkened because of nightfall and Nakai stood up to turn the annoying alarm off. When he got back to the bedroom, Wang Bao had fallen asleep the way he had left him; legs spread wide and a swollen belly full of semen. When he checked Wang Bao's hole there was cum leaking out all over the bed and he quickly picked the sleeping man up, carrying him into the shower despite the tight squeeze.
. . . . . .
Once Wang Bao woke up, Nakai had set the submarine to the "return home" setting, and he had also packed their belongings into two backpacks. The food and equipment was in Nakai's pack, while Wang Bao's was carrying their clothes and his money. In the kitchen, Nakai cooked a few simple breakfast sandwiches and when he called Wang Bao in to eat, Wang Bao had to force his body out of bed. For the first time Wang Bao felt tired and sore after sex. When he finally made it to the table and sat down opposite Nakai, he wriggled in his seat uncomfortably while eating the quick breakfast. Nakai was extremely amused by Wang Bao's discomfort, and he couldn't stop himself from poking Wang Bao's delicate waist under the table with his foot. Wang Bao almost choked on his mouthful, causing his eyes to darken. After swallowing, Wang Bao warned Nakai angrily, his splendid finger pointed at Nakai's cocky expression.
"Don't, you're not allowed to touch me for 24 hours."
Nakai wanted to laugh but he held it in and put his hands up in surrender while agreeing.
"Hehe, okay. I promise I won't touch you."
Wang Bao was pleased to hear this but he soon regretted it. With their breakfast eaten and everything cleaned, Nakai led the way up the ladder and out of the submarine. Nakai was decent enough to carry Wang Bao's bag but he didn't help him when it came to getting out of the submarine. All Wang Bao could do was grit his teeth and struggle up the ladder, by the time he had made it out and stood on the docks, Wang Bao was sweating while his back entrance was throbbing; the only thing Wang Bao was grateful for, was that there was a nice cool breeze coming off of the water. Without taking a break, Nakai walked ahead with Wang Bao tailing along and they left the little marina area. They walked on the wooden docks in silence, following it to another small docking area. The border of Mer Country was connected to small streams and wide rivers creating a large wetland. It was common for people to come from all over the world to hunt wild beasts in the water, but it was also a hidden way of travelling to neighbouring countries. Wang Bao forced his wobbly legs to keep walking while looking around, even though he was tired Wang Bao was still curious about every new place he visited. The small wooden docks held various sized boats that people hired to travel the wetlands, and Nakai planned to do the same. At the end of the docks was a small wooden hut; the door was barely big enough for Nakai to fit and he crouched down to walk in. Wang Bao entered a little while after Nakai, and he saw a small hairy werebeast woman. Wang Bao saw Nakai had already hired a boat because of how slow he had been moving, and he heard the hairy woman trying to convince Nakai to hire a helper to lead them on their way; Wang Bao thought this would be a good idea, but she was swiftly declined and they left before she could ask again.
Nakai continued to keep his word on not touching Wang Bao, but when he turned around to head back to the boats, he made sure to let Wang Bao exit first, not wanting to lose sight of him. Outside of the hut Wang Bao didn't know where to go and he looked at Nakai expectantly. Nakai chuckled at Wang Bao's cute expressions before nodding towards a simple but large motorboat. While struggling into the boat with no help, Wang Bao couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Where are we going?"
Nakai stepped into the boat once Wang Bao was sitting on a bench at the back of the boat, setting their luggage beside him while replying.
"You'll see, the wetlands will take us about a day to travel. We'll most likely reach the next town by the evening."
Wang Bao listened to Nakai but sighed at the little amount of information. He had gotten used to Nakai being vague about their journey, but he thought that by now he would have more trust from the Giant, especially with their newly confessed feelings. Wang Bao no longer wanted to talk to Nakai and he leaned against the side of the boat tiredly, while Nakai started the motor beside him. With the motor roaring loudly, Nakai walked to the front of the boat and pulled out of the docks slowly. It didn't take long before Nakai turned into the river that was closest to the dock, and the purple water soon turned to a dirty green the longer Nakai drove up the river. Along both sides of the river, tall skinny trees that leaned the same way they were headed grew. Wang Bao slowly noticed their bark was a dark blue, while their leaves were so dark they looked a scary black. Because they were so close together, the shadows between each tree almost made it look like there were ominous creatures staring at him. Wang Bao felt his heart skip when he thought he saw a person running through the trees, but he was relieved to see it was only a large bird. Wang Bao continued to watch the bird run through the trees before it flew up to perch on a skinny branch.
The bird was a bright purple with a yellow beak and feet, its tummy was also so round that it was surprising the skinny branch that it was sitting on didn't snap. Wang Bao slowly saw more and more birds of the same kind appear, staring at the boat with black eyes. Wang Bao no longer wanted to watch the scary birds and he decided to look back at the dirty green water. The colour was less beautiful than the purple water in Mer country, but every now and then Wang Bao would be interested in new fish or plants he hadn't seen before. Wang Bao continued to lean on the side of the boat and look into the water, until Nakai pulled him back roughly. Before Wang Bao could yell at Nakai, he was told in a serious voice by the latter.
"Don't lean over like that, there are creatures in this area that will pull you in. Stop sulking and sit in the passenger seat."
Although he didn't want to, Wang Bao listened obediently while looking around again. More large colourful birds perched on the tree tops, their round bellies hanging down by their feet. Wang Bao doubted the fat birds would be able to fly, but he was proven wrong when he saw a hoard of twenty birds spread their wide wings and take flight. Wang Bao watched with wide eyes as the large purple birds all dived into the water right behind the boat. Wang Bao couldn't stop from jumping in shock before gasping; the twenty purple birds all flew back out of the water, their sharp talons carrying a ginormous slippery beast. The shock didn't stop when Wang Bao heard loud caws from all around. Suddenly the large slippery beast was pecked to death by the close to a hundred birds that had been perched on the trees. Wang Bao quickly turned around in his seat, unable to watch the gruesome meal, he also felt a shiver down his spine after thinking about that creature following behind them.
By lunchtime Wang Bao felt his body was completely fine, his mood had also improved and he took out a container of sandwiches he had made before they left. Nakai let Wang Bao feed him since he had to drive the boat steady; every now and then he would jokingly bite Wang Bao's slender fingers before a light slap would land against his arm. As if this wasn't punishment enough, whenever Nakai would nibble his fingers, Wang Bao would take a bite out of his sandwich; Nakai didn't mind this though and he kept playing around with Wang Bao. After their light meal, Wang Bao leaned on Nakai's arm lightly before asking, his voice a little loud to be heard over the motor.
"Why won't you tell me where we're going? You don't need to worry, I won't ditch you and run off by myself."
Nakai chuckled at Wang Bao's promise, but his face quickly turned serious when he replied.
"I know you wouldn't. But even if you knew the name of the place, you wouldn't be able to find it. It's best if you don't know where we're going, there are people after us and although the chances of us being separated are next to non-existent, it would cause problems if you tell other people the location."
Oh. Wang Bao sat back in his chair beside Nakai with a sullen face. He still only knew part of the story when it came to Wang Lei running away, and since his Mother was trying to kill him, he figured she wouldn't be against doing the same to Wang Lei.
. . . . . .
At nightfall, small orange lights could be seen at the end of the river they were on and when they pulled up, small wooden huts and stores were on stilts above the water, wooden paths connecting everything for people's convenience. Nakai handed the keys over to the second hire store, the hairy lady looked like a mirror reflection of the woman from the first town, and confused Wang Bao before he understood they were twins. Just like her sister, she tried to sell the services of workers which they didn't need but she was very persistent. Before Wang Bao could step out of the hut with Nakai, she stood in front of him, speaking in a rushed but quiet voice.
"We have different men that could help with your travels. We know it can be boring to travel, if you want to keep things interesting, there are also the services of women you can hire."
Wang Bao suddenly felt uncomfortable and he moved back, bumping into Nakai's chest. The lady tried following too, but Nakai quickly pushed her shoulder back, speaking in a dark voice.
"Don't make me repeat myself."
Nakai was becoming impatient and when the lady tried to speak again, he lifted the small hairy woman, placing her back behind the counter she had run around to block their path. Wang Bao finally understood what services she was hoping to sell, and made sure to stay close to Nakai when walking. It wasn't a long walk but it was a winding path to get to the centre of the large town; with warm orange lights surrounding them from all of the huts, Nakai pointed to a tall wooden building that reached to the sky.Unlike every other building, this tall hotel looked much more modern; dark staining was used on the wood and every window was different colour of stained glass. Wang Bao craned his neck and looked up to the top of the beautiful building while Nakai said.
"We'll stay here tonight. Tomorrow we will be travelling through the swamps and it will take a while to get to the border of the Werebeast Continent."
Inside the hotel, a large staircase spiralled up each of the walls, Wang Bao gazed up through the middle of the tall building with wide eyes, while Nakai took care of booking. The building was so tall he could barely see the top floor, it astounded Wang Bao that such a tall building would be able to stay standing on stilts. While craning his head back, Nakai held the keys over his eyes, speaking in an amused voice.
"Tenth floor. Go up and have a meal. I need to meet someone."
Wang Bao caught the keys before they could drop on his face and tugged on Nakai's wrist. He couldn't help but feel anxious again while asking.
"Where are you going? Who are you meeting?"
Nakai stopped mid step and turned around to see Wang Bao's nervous face, caressing it gently, Nakai replied in a tender voice.
"Don't worry. Have a bath and some food, I should be back before you've finished eating."
Nakai gave Wang Bao a light kiss before walking off. There was no other choice and Wang Bao begrudgingly walked up the stairs. By the time he had finally arrived at his room on the tenth floor, his body was covered in a light layer of sweat and his legs had returned to feeling like jelly. Wang Bao threw his bag down at the door, and sat in the closest chair to catch his breath. After he had relaxed, Wang Bao tiredly stood up and walked around the large room that was almost like a suite. The entire room was also made of wood, but it wasn't dark like the outside. Instead it was a warm pale golden colour, almost like there wasn't any staining on the wood at all. The room was also open plan to allow for a large sofa, small dining table and kitchen. Wang Bao looked inside the bathroom behind the kitchen, and saw a similar sized bathtub, similar to the inn back in the small town in Man Country; reluctant to wait a month while the tub filled, he was grateful to see a shower beside the bath as well.
The last room was the bedroom with the biggest bed Wang Bao had ever seen. He laid down on the firm mattress and felt two Nakai's could fit on this easily. After seeing everything the beautiful hotel had to offer, Wang Bao suddenly felt it was a bit of a waste to stay here for only one night. Once his nosing around was finished, Wang Bao undressed and turned the shower on. He quickly scrubbed his body then dressed into some black pyjamas, draping his silk robe over top. Instead of cooking, Wang Bao ordered food and lazed on the long sofa to wait. It had been a while since Wang Bao felt he could really relax, and he fell asleep during the wait, only waking once a firm knock sounded at the door. Still drowsy from his nap, Wang Bao waddled to the door. The room service was quickly brought in by an old dwarf man, and Wang Bao instantly felt bad for their legs battling the long journey of stairs. Seeing the food being set up on the table for him, Wang Bao quickly had a thought he said while returning to the bedroom.
"Thank you, wait here."
Wang Bao rummaged through his pack to find his small bag holding his money. So far he had only used it for the market in T City. Wang Bao didn't know what an appropriate tip was and handed over three gold coins, his Father's face staring at him as he did. Without speaking or taking the coins, the Dwarf looked at the coins curiously then at Wang Bao. An anxious flutter disturbed Wang Bao's stomach, when the Dwarf finally spoke.
"These coins, Dwarves, were asked to make them. Close to forty years ago now, when the new King had taken over from his Mother. When the late King's son was crowned three years ago he refused to have new coins forged."
"....That's correct."
Wang Bao's hand was still outstretched awkwardly as the Dwarf looked up at him with a curious old face. They didn't say anything while looking at one another, and the Dwarf finally pocketed the coins and turned around. Before opening the door to leave, the old Dwarf turned around and spoke to Wang Bao in a quiet voice.
"We aren't supposed to take tips, but let's keep this a secret, your Highness. For both of our safety."
Wang Bao stared at the door that slowly opened then closed; he was beginning to feel the world was a lot smaller than he imagined, and he wished Nakai would return quickly.
