章 59: Time Keeper

"Here." The voice handed him a bottle of water when he was finally done and he took it, reluctantly. 

"Thank you." He said, wiping his mouth with the handkerchief Ajax place in his coat pocket. 

Taking a gulp of the water as the water seemed to scratch his, already, sore throat, he looked to see that the person he was talking to was none other than Lucian. 

"Feeling better?" The boy asked, handing him a handkerchief he pulled out from his sleeve. 

"I have." Ace said, holding the handkerchief up. 

"Ajax will find out that something happened if you use that." He said, pushing his handkerchief closer. "Or do you not want to keep this a secret from him?" 

Ace looked at the handkerchief with an embroider of two diamonds at the corner of the handkerchief. 

They always described each other as two diamonds for as long as he could remember but he didn't know why. Ajax said it so often that he just accepted it as a fact.
