"Yeah, I know that feeling.
After Horace, my...best friend, died, Kross left to return here, and Aldrich was slain...
I felt worthless. I didn't have a purpose, not back in my land. The world was practically ending...
Then I had to travel with a maniac, a douche, and a thief for a month...
I felt awful. Even when I got here...I still thought I didn't have a purpose.
Usually, I stayed in my room, doing nothing. Patches and Smough would come by and get me food and water. I just thanked them and..."

"What did they say? Was it anything rude?"
-
"No. They thought you were alright. Orn especially, since he's actually met you."
-
"Okay, that's good... Sketch warned me about Smough... He said he could be racist and mean..."
-
"What? I've never seen Smough be...racist. Usually it's Ornstein, he usually discriminates anything that's connected to dragons...but Smough?"
-
[u]He Sketch told me that when he first met Smough, Smough kept referring to him as [i]Ornstein's pet...[/i] And apparently he kept calling Sketch the despite both Sketch and Orn telling him otherwise... Sketch still isn't completely convinced that Smough doesn't think that he's Orn's pet who just [i]thinks[/i] He's free...[/u]

"Oh...I didn't know..."
-
[u]I think Smough has probably gotten better about that though... I haven't really seen him...[/u]
-
"Oh. Would you like to meet him? You don't have to, but..."
-
[u]Oh, uh sure...[/u]
-
"Oh. Alright. Cmon." [b]She starts to head to Smough's location.[/b]

*Sapphire follows close behind.*

"Here we are..." [b]Anri is several feet away from Smough, who is sleeping and surrounding by atleast 70 beer bottles.[/b]
-
[u]Oh wow... I can't even drink a single beer without getting drunk...[/u]
-
"Yeah..."
-
[u]Ummm... Should we wake him up?[/u]
-
"Probably. You wanna do the honors?"
-
[u]Uh, sure...[/u] *She finds a nearby stick and starts poking him with it.*
-
[b]Smough slowly starts to wake.[/b] [i]"Y'know...it's not nice to..."[/i] [b]He yawns.[/b]
-
[u]Sorry, just wanted to meet you...[/u]
-
[i]"Yeah...have we met..?"[/i] [b]He looks up.[/b] [i]"Oh. You're uh, Sapphire. Right? Hi."[/i]
-
[u]Yes I am, it's nice to meet you...[/u]
-
[i]"Ay. I'm...Smough."[/i] "This is embarrassing..."
-
[u]Yeah, I kind of agree...[/u]
-
[i]"Oh, come on."[/i]

[u]Sapphire just stands there awkwardly.[/u]
