74 Chapter 74 - Occupational Therapis (1/2)
Gren slowly opened Jasmine's bedroom door.There were no lights on inside and he couldn't see well with just the light leaking in from the hallway.”Jasmine, are you up?”There was no response from her so Gren reached for the light switch on the wall.
Just before he could flip the switch, a red-scaled hand grabbed his arm.”Gren.You're back.Sorry, I don't want to be seen right now.”Jasmine's voice sounded hoarse.
”Your mom told me about what happened.Do you feel like talking about it?”Jasmine released Gren's hand after his question.
”Not right now.”Jasmine returned to her bed and curled up into a ball.”I'd like to have some time alone.”
”Okay.Just come find me when you are ready to talk.You don't have to be so hard on yourself.I'm really glad that you went looking for me.”Gren slowly shut the door and sighed.He didn't like seeing Jasmine being depressed but he didn't know how to help her.
With Jasmine being unwilling to talk, Gren went to find Midna.Unfortunately, Midna was asleep so Gren decided to leave her be and instead asked one of her roommates to tell Midna that he returned safely when she woke up.
On his way back through the hall that housed his statue, Gren spotted one of the dwarves sitting at a table.She was drinking alone and seemed to be thinking about something.Gren couldn't remember the names of most of the women but he was sure that he talked to her before.
”Is it fun drinking alone?”The dwarf looked up at Gren briefly before going back to drinking.Gren sat opposite to her at the table and tried talking to her again.”You're one of the dwarves that tried being a mercenary, right?”
His words managed to get the dwarf to stop drinking and she placed the bottle down.”If you're here to make fun of me for being a failure then fuck off, Gren.”
”That's not why I'm here, I just wanted to have a chat.Let me start over.My name is Gren, as you seem to know already.What's yours?”Gren tried to take a different approach this time.
”It's Rumi.Now, are you done bothering me?”Rumi returned to drinking from her bottle.
