[b]Alright. Good luck![/b] ~You arrive in front of Ornstein and Smough's apartment. The door is closed to their room~
-
*Mortar rests under a tree, his head against the trunk* I will just stay here, regardless what you all say.
-
~There's no response.
-
*After what seems like an eternity, Mortar wakes up, refreshed. He sees Orn through a window, and calls for him* ORNSTEIN! OORRRRNNNSTEINNNN!!!!
-
~The knight looks at you, then closes the curtains~
-
*Mortar sighs, he really wanted to see Ornstein feel better. He lost a friend like this, he didn't want to lose another*
-
~A couple of days past. You get a couple of opportunities through Ornstein leaving the apartment. You follow him until he enters the Starbucks. He only gets a coffee, pays for it, says "[i]Thanks.[/i]" gloomily, and sits down, not noticing you~
-
*Mortar clears his throat loudly a few times to get his attention. He didn't want to flat out say anything, it may trigger him, so he just cleared his throat between sips*
-
~Ornstein looks up at you. He sighs and goes back to reading the paper. There's room in the other side of the table~
-
*Mortar stealthily forms into that one empty space.* Um... hey there.
-
[i]Hey.[/i]
-
So... how have you been? You just kind of looked kind of... lonely.
-
[i]I...[/i] ~he sighs~ [i]I don't know. Things have sorta been...up and down. Since...[/i] ~He shows you the paper. It appears to be called "New Lordran Times!" The front page is "Hero of Lothric Saves the Land!" It's shows a small statue of you standing over a fire~ [i]So yeah...[/i]
-
*Mortar doesn't know how to react to the article. On the one hand, the people labeled him a hero, and revered him dearly, but on the other, it was a crushing reminder that he felt that he betrayed one of his best friend's* Well that's... something.
-
[i]Yeah...They're already building statues of you, Zane, Kross, Balthazar, and Ite... Oh, check this out.[/i] ~He hands you the paper and points towards a smaller section. "Prince Lothric DENIES Building Statues!" "In a shocking statement last night, Prince Lothric spoke to the press, issuing a claim that no statues of the heroes shall be built inside of his kingdom. "I knew and spoke to those four. And I know that they would never want statues of themselves all over the kingdom." The press will investigate the Prince later this evening."
-
Yeah, that seems interesting. I should probably confirm that, I don't want to be reminded of it.
-
[i]Heh. Probably.[/i] ~The knight takes a drink of coffee. He's wearing a simple yellow shirt. He hasn't bothered to fix his messy hair, and his beard is dirty and unclean~ [i]So...how are you?[/i]
-
I've been better, something has been torturing my mind, the normal stuff.
-
[i]Yeah. There's just...I don't know. Not much to do now.[/i]
-
Well there's a lot to do. Probably not as exciting, but we can watch a movie, relax in my pool, help me expel this god of torment
-
[i]...God of Torment?[/i]
-
Yeah, I'm trying to get it out of my head, but it... can't get out
-
[i]That's a shame.[/i] ~He goes back to drinking coffee~
-
Yeah... *Mortar drinks some of his coffee* So... I guess we don't have much to talk about now...
-
~Ornstein is silent~
