First encounter..?

Arup felt a sharp pain in his neck as he woke up, just to see himself tied to a chair in the center of a room that looked like it was made for a higher level officer, he's wounds were treated tho, he looked around for a bit before he looked directly in front, his brown eyes locking onto the sharp blue eyes that luminated in dark by the only source of moonlight through nearby window behind that huge Mahogany desk.

"so our little revolutionary has decided to bless us with his conscious presence hm.."

A sharp monotonous voice with a heavy accent called out, Arup was barely fazed.

"you look like a new one" arup called out almost casually.

"Now you are keeping records of who enters this British building or not, who's a new threat or not? Hmm typical of you.. Journalist" Erwik added with a sharp jab.

"it's common sense" arup struck a blow again casually.

Erwik's jaw tensed with annoyance and a tad bit of fascination, "nobody spoke to me like this before, do you know you're walking on your own plank--"

Arup simply rolled his eyes as he stated with casual annoyance, he's dealt with people like this way often "tumi ki onek boro toop? Tomar moton 26 ayeche ar 26 geche"

Erwik snapped back, "i don't understand your language, speak in English-"

"then learn" arup simply replied.

"do you think I have enough time to learn your hobo language-?" erwik was just about to complete his sentence as he just felt a ball point pen struck across his cheek with the force of a bullet he dodged by doging this so many times before.

Arup shouted out "hobo language??!! How dare you speak ill about the mother tongue!! The language of this very soil your standing upon!!! You're vile, disgusting and a pathetic britisher!!"

Erwik didn't even flinched at the words, he simply replied "why are you so adamant for fighting a land who has given you nothing--"

Arup bursted out, "THIS IS MY MOTHERLAND, HOW DARE YOU SAY IT HAS NOT GIVEN ME ANYTHING, IT HAS GIVEN ME LIFE, A PURPOSE AND A CULTURE I'LL DIE TO PROTECT, DON'T YOU DARE!!!-"

"that's enough, calm down. I heard you" Erwik replied calmly to not cause a scene. "so ambitious hm.." Erwik replied reading arup's report, "an orphanage... No parents.. Bengali foster family.. Occupation? Masan?.. What are masan?"

"people who works with ceremonial procedures after one's death.." arup replied quietly..

"so you've experienced working with dead bodies..? No wonder you don't want my bastard officers to get your body dealt with after your possible execution"

Arup spoke up without any hesitation

"yes. You are correct "

Erwik laughed at himself for this conversation

"you've still got the fire within you..same fire.. Same boldness.. same fierce.."

"No matter how much I stare into you, you always shine the brightest in this dull monotone of my life.."

Erwik muttered to himself..
