With all the role playing of being enemies, it can strain a friendship. That's why Ren and Doc regularly meet up once a week to just chill, be friends and look at stars. They walked to an open field in the shopping district and laid down. Neither spoke for a while.
Doc finally spoke up "I think that cluster if stars over there looks like a goat." He pointed out the stars.
Ren squinted. "Yeah, it kinda does. Reminds me of the time when you and I made the Goatem Pole." Doc laughed, remembering the pranks between them and Boatem. Those Boatem kids were always up to some sort of trouble.
"And Grian stole the goats from it" Stated Doc, who was currently lost in memories. Grian really was on a stealing spree that time. He even stole Doc's right shoe! Ren and Doc sat in silence for a little while longer.
"Hey Doc, doesn't that star cluster look like a crown?" Asked Ren. Ren removed his crown and stared at the celestial one in wonder. It can be hard being the tyrant of the server.
Doc hesitated before speaking "This king business really is taking over your head, isn't it?" Ren thought about it. Doc's words were true. Ren had even been dreaming about all his kingly duties.
Ren replied "Yeah man, I guess it is kinda weighing on me. I mean it's weird to be ordering your friend's execution one moment, and working on a build with them the next. Heavy truly is the head that wears the crown." He wiped a tear from his eye.
Doc leaned over and put a comforting hand on his friend's shoulder. "Listen Ren, you know you can opt out of this if you want, right? Do what's best for you and remember I love you bro, and will always have your back. Always. No matter what happens in the future."
Ren shot him a small smile. "Thanks man, you know I love you too." The two friends then stood up, gave each other a hug, and went home knowing that they had a true friend that would stick by them no matter what.
