Okay... It doesn't have to be good...
-
"Seriously."
-
Alright... Stay up here as long as you would like to, I'll just sit here... *Mion falls asleep on the sun warmed glass*
-
[b]Ornstein chuckles. A minute later, he starts to look for Cyan. Just to see how she's doing.[/b]
-
*Cyan is sitting in the front row with Crossbow next to her* Crossbow: Hey Ornstein. Where's Smough?
-
"He..." [b]Ornstein sighs.[/b] "He thought it would be best if he didn't come."
-
Cyan: Maybe... would have been nice to come, though, to pay his respects to him.
-
"He's worried that people will...will call him a murderer. That they'll harass him over this... I shouldn't have yelled at him like that, when we first learned that Mortar had..."
-
Cyan: Yeah, I remember that. I probably shouldn't have instantly tries to kill him. Does that... cut still hurt?
-
"Don't worry about it, I'm fine... It's him I'm worried about. I don't want him to be like me after the quest, holing up in his room and...hollowing."
-
Cyan: That is gonna be a real problem. A guy that big...
-
"I'm not talking about him being a threat. He doesn't seem like it, but...he's helped me in so many different situations...I owe my life to the big guy. And I don't want it to be torn apart just because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time."
-
Crossbow: I think he's a lost cause Cyan: Cross! Crossbow: What? Every time I walk past your apartment, I hear him talking to himself, can hear him talking to Mortar. He obviously can't, though.
-
[b]Orn suddenly snaps.[/b] "If you ever talk about my brother like that again, I will rip you to pieces, you skeleton scumbag." [b]He realizes that he has his spear draw.[/b]
-
Crossbow: Damn, man, relax. I'm just saying that you ought to talk to him, or he may go hollow quicker.
-
"I doubt that..." [b]The knight shakes his head, walking away.[/b]
-
Cyan: W-Where are you going Ornstein?
-
[b]He just goes back to sitting down in one of the chairs. Silence.[/b]
-
*Cyan watches Ornstein walk back, not wanting to say anything because she doesn't know what to say*
-
[b]He starts murmuring, holding his head and shaking a little.[/b]
-
*After a few more people give speeches, Crossbow comes up* Crossbow: I would like to thank you all for giving these beautiful speeches. Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye for the last time. We will leave him out for a few minutes, but after that, we will place him in the lake. Thank you.
-
[b]Orn just sits there. Silent. He doesn't even look up.[/b]
-
*After a few minutes, Wit levitates the box Mortar is in and gently lowers it to the bottom. The box is no longer seen in the water after a while. People begin to pack up and leave*
-
[b]Ornstein doesn't notice. He's still in his chair.[/b]
-
*More time passes. Around you, Wit and Crossbow are putting away the chairs, until they get to your chair* Wit: Sorry man, but the funeral is over.
