“ once is now, forever is later “
Everything was.. Well. In shambles, Wemmbu's wings were broken, how? Well. The law seemed to have a new ‘rule' since Lettuce wants to act all mighty and powerful.
You see, normally Lettuce isn't all that ‘mean'. He's more tolerable, but aggressive in some sense. He thinks he's doing the right thing, but in reality? He's becoming just like HIM.
And such a bummer. Lettuce never wanted to be that way, he vowed to himself he'd be better, that he'd overcome what his fear was most. But it seems impossible now, right? Since he's digging his own hole.
But let's not talk about Lettuce, he's not all that important. Just know? He's the one that started this. And he's the one that had laid his hands on wemmbu in anger and disgust.
Wemmbu was groaning, his wings hurt like hell. For fucks sake, he was so sick. The nausea *and* burning sensation was *not* a great mix, especially since wemmbu is a dragonborn. He's more prone to get sick, probably because his immune system wasn't all that strong.
He wished someone would actually care and help him. But his brothers now ‘hated' him. Or so.. That's what he thought because he hadn't had contact with them since he got imprisoned. He's usually always like this ( no he isn't. )
“ Look at you, broken down. “ Lettuce had spoken. Who told this man to speak? Whatever, not the point. He was at wemmbu's cell. Staring down at the pained dragonborn.
“ you'd cost millions if you weren't so fucking… pathetic. “ Lettuce scoffed, he was somewhat proud of himself. He unfortunately needed wemmbu alive for the damn execution. So all he could do? Was give him pain, and torture him relentlessly.
“ oh I hope you rot, lettuce. “ wemmbu hissed out, glaring directly at lettuce, who seemed so smug. His devious grin was absolutely wretched. Wemmbu hated feeling so weak.
“ oh? Being stubborn now, are we? Oh wemmbu, you didn't know I have your friend Eggchan, here too, right?? “ lettuce laughed aloud, he was so happy. Seeing wemmbu so defeated.
“ What!? But i—" "oh please, save the speech. I found him, so what? Nothing you can do. “ lettuce hummed out annoyingly, looking away to see the others watching. He knew he was making a scene, but he didn't care. He lived for drama, after all.
Wemmbu was defeated, how was he supposed to save his friend like this? Broken and bruised up? The others could only stare in pity, oh how wemmbu hated feeling so weak. He could just snap Lettuce's neck if he could.
But he was so broken, so much so to the point where he could only just stare at the ground in pain. What could he plan? All his items were taken from him. And he had no milk to drink the effects of the potions off.
What a shame, especially with everyone looking down at him. He felt powerless, maybe he was. Nothing hurt more than the fact that his guardian, his day one, his best friend's life was on the line now if he attempted to do anything to save him.
Lettuce scoffed , he felt nothing but anger to wemmbu. His actions spoke louder than his own renowned words. His mind was a clutter of disgusting words he wanted to say to wemmbu. For a second, he might've actually felt bad.
“ yknow.. “ wemmbu coughed up , blood spilling out of his mouth. The irony metallic taste in his mouth. Wemmbu hated that, he hated how much it filled in his mouth. “ you're really starting to become like him.. “ wemmbu chuckled gently, one of his laughs that sounded soft but insane at the same time
“ sometimes.. Once will be now , and forever will be later “ wemmbu hummed a gentle response at lettuce, his eyes flaring in anger and frustration. Maybe this was what he deserved, but nothing felt more better than breaking down a ‘king'.
