...yes. Of the Church of the Deep. Tell me you've never come across him. I'll kill him three times, no, four times as hard if so.

[He is out for blood, Mizuki.]

[mooninthewater]

No. I only know of him from Cicero. He'd told me to steer clear of him, and didn't seem to like him very much. I'm from a different branch of the church...

[Haha yeah wouldn't know what that's like!!

At Mizuki's offer, though...Wolfwood's expression softens, and his shoulders sag a bit.]

Naah. I don't really want 'im to know I talked to anybody about it, I mostly just needed to vent. I think it's fine now, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't...I dunno. Bein' unreasonable, cause I know I can do that.

[mooninthewater]

You've been doing a lot better, though. And the fact that you're being careful and worried about it now speaks volumes to the amount you're putting in to trying. You're doing a good job, Wolfwood.

[lupusxylem]

[And just like that, Mizuki has managed to render Wolfwood speechless.]

I...am? You think so?

[Thorns sits up on his elbows and spits on the ground near where his head just was. Disgusting.]

I wouldn't say I was willing to be part of it at all — but you know how they operate. Sure, Aulus' efforts did prevent me from starving to death as a child in the streets, but he unwittingly has attempted to make me his successor in all but name...

[Perhaps not as a priest, but. It doesn't fill Thorns with nice thoughts, relatedly.]

...but we can touch upon that later. Tell me honestly what you think he's done. Give me more reasons to slit his throat.
