Friendship's Deceit

Asher observed Remy sleeping soundly on the couch. But he observed earlier how he stroked his watch with an affectionate look and even removed it before sleeping as if he was afraid of damaging it. So the watch had to be special to him, right?

Asher wanted to give it a try as his ethereal form hovered over the watch. It was a beautiful and intricate piece with fake golden gears and a leather strap. It was clearly a pretty but knock-off watch which seemed a bit old too.

But as he moved closer, he could see that it had a small engraving on the back: "To my dearest friend Remy, Love Isabella."

'I see…Jackpot,' Asher felt that by simply observing people, one could learn important things, and he did.

Fortunately, it was written in English, though he wasn't worried about understanding the native languages of these people. All he had to do was possess this watch, and since it belonged to Remy, he would temporarily know the languages Remy speaks as well.
