“Doctor.”

The call breaks her daydream, as she shifts her attention away from the endless view of land in front of her. She turns her head to the back, where the former-Karlan’s higher-up is walking towards her.

“Gnosis.” She greets back genially. “How unusual. What has brought you up here?”
“I assume you've heard the news.” He states as he stops beside her.
“Have I?” The Doctor hums thoughtfully. “I heard numerous news on the daily, unfortunately.”
“We both know which news we’re talking

about Doctor.”
The blunt answer generates a chuckle from her. “Well, does it matter?”
Gnosis scoffs but not unkindly, although there's a hint of resignation on his face. “Nothing's set in stone, Doctor. Additionally, it's still an 𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘥 engagement.” He says with an

apparent distaste.
“Which also means he's seriously considering it.” The Doctor shrugs. “The logic goes both ways, Gnosis.”
“As you said.” He nods.“However, I believe this 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 you have in mind is quite different with Enciodes’.”
“We both know him. Even more

the case for you since you've been his partner-in-crime for years.” She shrugs.
Gnosis pointedly ignores the good-natured jab, choosing to lean on the railing instead. “Aren't you?” He asks with a raised eyebrow.
“Excellent question.” The Doctor laughs. “But in the end we're just

acquaintances. The deal is between Rhodes Island and Karlan after all.”
“He'll be quite saddened to hear that.”
“I don't think so.”
“Maybe this is the gap of experience of knowing Enciodes we talked about just now, Doctor.”
“Or perhaps you're just giving more faith than it should

be for him.”
“𝘖𝘳 𝘮𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦, it's you whose faith has considerably decreased.”
“Are we just going to throw each other’s words, Gnosis? I believe it does not fit in for the beautiful scenic view we’re seeing right now.”
“That will be the most futile conversation.” He

agrees. “We are not people who like to speak in riddles and blanks, Doctor.”
“Or you're simply impatient. A roundway path isn't always one that leads someone to astray.”
“Then what has made you impatient, Doctor?” Gnosis bluntly asks. “Even if the engagement leads to a marriage,

it'll be a three or five years contract at most.”
“Did Enciodes send you to gauge my reaction for that idea?” The Doctor chuckles as she leans her head on the railing, facing the dark haired male. “What a good wingman.” She teases.
“No, he didn’t.” Gnosis deflects as he stares at

the view in front of them.
“But you think he'll appreciate the information nonetheless.” She knowingly says.
“He's always glad to hear any news about you, Doctor.” Gnosis replies honestly.
“Is that so?” The Doctor chuckles. “Then will he be happy too if he's informed that I have

received a marriage proposal as well?”
“What-?” Gnosis exclaims, utterly startled as he snaps his head to her, seeking an answer. “Who?”
“It won’t be fun if I reveal it all.” Doctor laughs as she turns around and waves her hand. “Tell him that I’m

also 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 it, so Enciodes should do the same with his, Gnosis.”
