”Very well.” Paulie turns away from his sovereign and proceeded down the throne room entering carpet before fully leaving. As the doors of the room closed behind him, his eyes looked behind him as if expecting a figure to appear. After a few seconds of Paulie staring down the conjoining hallway for a few seconds, he closed eyes, removing his hat from his head and taking a deep breath. He carried his hat under his left arm and walked at a casual pace down the hallway, always staring at every interesting detail that he could discern from the poorly litten walls, further darkened by the overcast conditions outside the palace. He sauntered out of the palace, his right hand in his pocket. The sun’s penetrating light forced him to open his eyes and quickly cover them with his right hand. He looked disappointedly towards the sky as he put his hat back atop his head. He approached the garage that contained his bike. A young male mechanic came to greet him, his greedy golden hair glistening vibrantly under the sun’s rays.

”Welcome back, Paulie! How are you doing?” The young man reached his arm out with an outstretched pawn towards Paulie. The man happily took the author and met the young man with a playful, if hilariously huge grin.

”Been doing good! I didn’t think I’d see you around this early, Leo! How’s the family?!” Paulie placed his jacket on the back of his bike as he pulled out a pair of sun blocking goggles as he prepared to leave.

”Doing good so far! Still waiting for the day when my parents will see me off as I rode with my brethren in the dynasty.” Paulie took few moments to respond to that. He boarded his bike, lifting the brakes quickly.

”That’d be a shame, you’re best repair guy I know! On the frontlines, your true talents will never shine there. Why don’t you just watch my back for the rest of your life, eh?!”

”Like hell, I will! Don’t horde all the fun! Share it with the rest of us a bit, will ya?” Both of them engaged in playful laughter as Paulie revved up his bike’s engines. ”Anyway, have a good day!”

Paulie gives his comrade a thumbs up while leaving. ”Be safe!” With that sendoff, Paulie road away from the garage.

Leo turned around to continue on his business before noticing Paulie exit the gates of the city. ”Where does he go off to? Never see him from dusk to dawn. Have to ask him someday.” Vincent leans over and continues his work.

As Paulie rides away from Leo, he peered back at him for a moment, a frown manifesting on his face. ”Stay safe,” he echoed silently as he rode off into the desert beyond the capital.
