Francis nodded and led Belar back to the temple's exit.

"Belar," Francis said when he stepped outside, "Thank you."

Belar turned back to the priest, "Don't thank me yet."

Francis nodded. He looked so tired.

"When I get back you will have to tell me how the friend I remember grew so old. Especially when he is surrounded by such beautiful women," Belar said with a grin.

"He may not be as far gone as it appears," Francis replied with a twinkle in his eye.

Belar laughed, relieved to see a bit of the mischief he remembered. He turned and headed back into the city. Francis watched Belar walk away, the cool night wind brushing against his skin. When Belar disappear around the corner, he dipped his head and whispered, "May Amur see you safely back old friend."
