Reima the Rubble Remover

Eingyi "Laurentius?" he looks over at the sobbing limbless man in confusion, followed quickly by anger towards the betrayer.

Laurentius manages to sputter out through his teeth-less, bruised and mangled face. "T-Teacher, S-save me"

Eingyi feels his temper explode at this, "Save you! What a pathetic excuse for a potential Pyromancer, it shames me that I'd actually trained and trusted you, I treat you as my own and you spit in my face but alighning yourself with our enemies!?!" he spits on the sobbing man in a rage, "Forgive me Reima but I'd like to ask permission to have this... This Rat, in my care."

Reima shrugs, "As long as you deal with him appropriately, I've already had my fun" he says nonplussed either way.

Eingyi bows deeply and orders some PyreBlades to carry Laurentius away.

Solaire pats Reima on the shoulder, "About that, my friend. I think we should talk about your... Less admirable traits."

Reima "What do you mean?" he asks confused.

Solaire crosses his arms, "I'm not one to talk of ethics and morality but your fondness for acts of brutality and torture scares me, not to mention Priscilla." said person nods at the side.

Reima "Ah, really? I thought it was fine..."

Solaire shakes his head, "I turned a cheek for your harvesting of the boar in Seath's library, the murder of that Patches fellow and torture of Petrus but your actions against the betrayer Laurentius was too cruel."

At this Reima replies simply, "People who commit terrible acts of cruelty must expect the same things to befall themselves. While true, I might get carried away often I've never done anything I would regret. Even with Laurentius you must consider the possible outcomes of his actions before judging his punishment, his actions could have led to the murder of not only the Sisters, Chaos Covenant and everyone within, it could have led to the death of Priscilla. The final result matters not, it's the intentions that should be taken into account."

Solaire would like to argue against this but the bubbling rage he feels at the thought of his Nieces murder forces him to hold his tongue. All he can do is try to change the direction of his question, "Perhaps, but was removing all of his limbs necessary?"

Reima grins, "No arms to cast Pyromancy, No legs to escape and no penis to procreate." he says trying to hold in his chuckles. He had briefly thought over whether or not removing the mans third leg to be going over the top but the adrenaline from the prior slaughter had pushed him over the proverbial ledge so to speak.

Priscilla chokes at his retort and quickly turns away embarrassed at her audible slip. Solaire just sighs, he justifies his friends actions mentally adding that he's never harmed an innocent so it's best to leave these matters be.

The trio quickly catch up with Eingyi outside of Gwyn's tomb, Reima approaches him and asks, "So what're you going to do now. Should I start teleporting everyone back?"

Eingyi shakes his head, "We'll return on foot, it'll provide valuable experience in combating different situations and changing landscapes."

Solaire nods, "It's a fine idea, we can never be too prepared, even despite our only known enemy no longer being a threat." he says as he flicks the now named Sunlight Crown sitting atop his head.

Priscilla adds, "Can we return? I feel tired after all that's happened." she asks, brows furrowing slightly.

Reima nods before looking at Solaire, "You going with them or us?"

He quickly replies, "I'll accompany Eingyi and his men, my blood is still boiling for a battle after my brothers rather pathetic showing." Reima nods at this and takes Priscilla's hand before teleporting back to the Chaos Covenant.

They are immediately greeted by everyone sitting in the main chamber, eagerly awaiting news of the assault.

Quelaag "The people trying to breach the collapsed entrances disappeared quickly, I assume it was a success?"

Reima nods, "The Dark Sun Gwyndolin has been slain, along with the majority of his Covenant." this receives a few sighs in relief and a few cheers from some wayward Chaos Servants who were idling in the area.

Quelaag looks around, "Eingyi, Solaire and the rest?"

Reima "Returning on foot to gain live experience, it seems the battles ending too quickly to alleviate their lust for battle."

Quelaag nods and smiles, "We'll hold off on celebrating until their return then... Did you find the traitor Laurentius?"

Reima nods again, "After I "Disarmed" him Eingyi took him away, I assume he'll be kept alive for target practise or something similar."

Priscilla scoffs at him, "Do not forget to mention how you also "Dis-legged" him"

Small chuckles are heard throughout the chamber as some of the more innocent people such as, Quelina, Anastacia and Rhea look around confused.

Quelaag "I'm glad to hear he got what he deserved, traitors are the worst of the worst in my humble opinion." she says as Reima catches her glances at Quelana. He sighs, even with all this time to reconcile she still holds a grudge? Women huh.

After the short but concise meeting Reima grabs the 10 remaining Pyromancers to help him clear the collapsed entrances, they're no longer needed as the threat had been vanquished. They seem to complain at first but are quickly motivated when Reima lifts a huge boulder over his head and throws it away from the rubble. He even stores some of the larger stones into his Folded Space as you never know when they could be used in the future. After only a couple hours of hard labour one of the entrances is cleared of rubble, he pats a sweaty exhausted Chaos Servant on the back while saying "Good job, now only two more entrances to go." the tired complaints don't seem to reach Reima and he moves on to another pile of rubble.

Solaire finally confronts Reima about his Psychotic behaviour, it unfortunately doesn't have the desired effects.

As always, if I missed anything please let me know.
