~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~
-
You okay? You still... you still mad?
-
~He sighs, as if expecting this~ [i]It's...it's hard to explain.[/i]
-
Oh, no I get it completely.
-
[i]I don't know how to feel. I wanted to...I wanted to hurt you the other day. But I couldn't bring myself to do it. I don't know whether it was the fact that you were one of my best friends or...or that this was forced onto you.[/i]
-
Yeah. I'm surprised that you barely had any credit, you were one of the best there. You were really brave there, and if I go back, I'm gonna say that you deserve more credit
-
[i]Sure?[/i]
-
Yeah. You were awesome man
-
[i]...Thanks, I guess.[/i] [i]Look, I'll just need some time. That's all.[/i]
-
I get it. If it's time you need, time you will have. Oh, dammit I promised Wit a latte. *Mortar walks up to the counter and orders a latte* Yeah...
-
~The knight still sits there, looking outside. A familiar group walks past~
-
Oh, looks like they came. *Mortar waves to them* Well, I'll see you later I guess.
-
~Solaire waves back~ [i]Yeah. See ya.[/i]
-
*Mortar goes through the door and walks back to his place* [spoiler]And fin.[/spoiler]
