"Pyriko?" Cap'n Buck uttered the name carefully.

Cap'n Buck spread his arms round the man with pure joy. Both of them were hugging each other so much that they could break the other's ribs.

Out of the corner of the hallway, Noah was witnessing the scene. He was happy that Cap'n Buck had met with his childhood friend. At least Cap'n Buck would not have to feel too bad about what happened in the past.

As soon as Cap'n Buck and Pyriko had stopped crying, Cap'n Buck invited Pyriko inside. They went past the hallway to the table in the dining room where Noah had quickly sat himself down at the table.

"Pyriko, this is Noah; A kid who I have come to cherish deeply as if he was my own son." Cap'n Buck introduced Noah.

"Well, it's a great pleasure to meet you Noah. As Rajul said, I am Pyriko, a dear old friend." Both Pyriko and Noah shook hands.

"I know." Noah returned the greeting.

"You do?" Pyriko stood up.

"Yes. Cap'n, I mean Bucky, has told me about you." Noah replied.

"I guess you haven't forgotten about me, eh?" Pyriko nudged Cap'n Buck in the arms softly.

"Of course not my friend. You are my first ever friend as a child and I would never forget a face and personality like yours."

"Man, you're good at complimenting me but anyway, you came back here?" Pyriko looked at Cap'n Buck.

Cap'n Buck nodded.

"As sad as this place makes me feel, I wanted to show Noah the house I grew up in as a child."

"So, he's seen all the house?" Pyriko inquired.

"No." Both Noah and Cap'n Buck said at the same time.

"I don't think it will hurt to show him. I'm here now so there's nothing to worry about."

"I guess so..." Cap'n Buck trailed off to silence.

"So, does that mean I can go explore upstairs?" Noah asked with anticipation.

Pyriko leaned down to Noah's eye level.

"Yep."

Noah's excitement sky rocketed and he leapt towards the ancient stairs and up to the Second level faster than the wind.

Pyriko glanced at Cap'n Buck.

"Come on Rajul, it's not that bad letting him upstairs."

"No but...I'm just cautious that he will find something about himself that he's not supposed to yet." Cap'n Buck said.

"And what could that be?" Pyriko furrowed his eyebrows in curiosity.

"Papers from the Court to hide his identity."
