"What a beautiful evening...."
[b]Zane took in the sights in the sky, snow crunching under his boots as he walked around. Despite being dressed only in a sleeveless t shirt and baggy pants, he didn't seem cold at all. He sat down on a nearby bench and simply took the sky in.[/b]

*As Zane walks around he notices Mortar sleeping on a bench in the courtyard. He occasionally twitches slightly and murmurs often, what he says though is unrecognizable. Zane can tell he's uncomfortable*
-
[b]He snaps his fingers trying to form a fire, then remembers his magic is gone. He sighs, then walks over to morter.[/b] "Dude, that cannot be comfortable...."
-
*When Zane says that Mortar seems to get spooked slightly and opens his eyes* Oh, hey Zane.
-
"Hey morter, you heal up alright since our last fight?"
-
Well I'd say I did well... Needed to go to the infirmary though
-
"Damn, I hit you that hard? My bad, I'm still getting use to this aura power."
-
Oh, no you were fine. I can only do so much. How bout you, you all patched up?
-
"Got some cuts and bruises, it'll heal though. Your hits really packed a punch."
-
Thanks. I try. I'm more concerned about the armor
-
"If it needs fixed up, I can do that. I may not own the shop anymore, but I still have materials at the house."
-
Nah, I think I'll be good. Kinda hard to obtain valhite lest you know people or in fact are a demon or something
-
"Man, you really don't know me do you? I've got every kind of metal in existence."
-
Oh, impressive. But I think I'll work on my armor. I like to add little surprises once in a while... So if someone gets their hands on the armor, it's like a security protocol
-
"Ah, gotcha. I understand, but if you ever need any materials, you know where to go too."
-
Of course Zane. So, how's retirement going?
-
"Oh it's great, spending time with the family and wife. Being able to not worry about impending attacks. It's nice to be able to relax."
-
Definitely. Though for me retirement seems odd. Spend your entire life fighting and it makes sense to take a break but... I always have some sort of energy that wants me to go out and fight stuff
-
"When you've been fighting as long as I have.....Well, you get what I'm saying right?"
-
Yeah, wait, how long HAVE you been fighting? Cause right now I'm around 20,150 years
-
"Ever since I was a child, plus when I died I fought in the second holy war."
-
Oh yeah, I remember hearing that. If you don't mind me asking, how old are you?
-
"34 years old, been fighting since I was 5. Feels like forever ago I left my clan....."
-
Ah, okay. That is cool, yeah. Though 34 seems kinda like a young age to retire. You must have made a hell load of money when you were working
-
"That I did, also accepted some contracts for damn near everyone. Fun times....."
-
Yeah. Good times
