[ This gets a very deep frown from Mizuki. He hasn't spoken to Thorns much back home, after all, so... ]
Bishop Aulus...? [ He's never met him, but the vitriol that came out of Cicero about him was enough to make him wary. ] ...I think he'd done quite a bit to hide things from you, in that case. About what he'd done and such.
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...
[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.
