*Mortar forms next to Sketch, eyes filled with concern*
Hey Sketch. What happened?

Edited by Skatch142: 1/3/2017 9:52:44 PM"Well, I can't move or feel my legs or tail..." *He says, looking up at Mortar. Tears have begun to form in his eyes.*
-
*Mortar, unable to say anything significant, places a hand on Sketch's shoulder* How did this happen?
-
"I was going to fight Irina... Alpha came to stop me... He told me he had been suicidal, that the only person who had come to help was Irina. I wasn't there for him. I could have let him kill himself... He was upset and I wasn't going to fight him. So he ran me through with his sword and severed my spinal column. All I did was hug him back. Don't attack him. Don't hurt him. I deserve this."
-
*Mortar sighs, hugging him* You do not deserve this, he did this to you. He had murdered people. You should know that
-
"Everybody's murdered people... I've murdered people." *He says, sniffling.*
-
*Mortar sighs, feeling empathy towards his friend* You know what I mean. He and a crew called the Arrowhead were terrorists, and destroyed the NTR Hermes. *He forms an iron ball and sits on it next to his friend* Don't feel bad about him, Sketch. He uses pity to stay here... I'm sorry, I shouldn't be talking about this with you. *He rests his hand on Sketch's shoulder* You know... I heard that there's some technology on Earth you put on your legs and it can, with a little bit of surgery, can put you on your feet again
-
"He's my friend, Mortar. He regrets the things he's done. And I'm not using any of that. Sphirinian technology can heal me, it will just be months before I can walk again."
-
*He nods* Understood. But this is his second strike. *He suddenly hugs his friend rather tightly, he hates seeing him like this*
-
*He seems a little surprised at first but hugs back after a second, burying his face in Mortar's shoulder.*
-
*He holds on for a while, patting his back a little to comfort him* It'll be okay. It'll be okay.
-
*Sketch just keeps hugging him, sniffling a little.*
-
*He repeats it a couple times more. It's hard to see if he's saying it to Sketch or himself, knowing he can't help him, and the ways he can he refuses*
-
"M-Mortar... I'll be alright..." *He says, not looking up at him.*
-
*Sketch can feel him nod as he lets go* Okay then. Sorry. Just, I can't help but feel like I should help somehow
-
"I know, Mortar... I may ask for some favors and I'm always open to talk..."
-
*He nods* Oh, definitely. I'd do anything to help
-
"Thank you, Mortar." *Sketch hugs him again.*
-
My pleasure. *He hugs him too, making sure he doesn't hurt him*
-
*Sketch just keeps hugging him, not wanting to let go.*
-
*He pats his back a little as he hugs him* We'll get through this
