Othello kicked a seat out for Abbott, "pleasant days and even longer nights Abbott, please sit," there was a bottle of whiskey on the table (no glasses) Othello offered the bottle to Abbott, "I'm going to speak first and I'll open the floor, first I want to apologize for the shit show that I hosted and my actions so forthrightly after...I was in a bad place drinking all day and that night, Haider didn't hesitate to put me in my place about how I spoke to the three of you. I acted like a child, so let's be drinking buddies? I'll drink moderately of course, I was never one for drinking, can't handle it as you've seen..."

Othello sat back pleased in the acceptance of his apology, he might have even sighed but he for sure took a hearty drink.

"Aye I did, and Lassiter and Kat...just didn't get to Sliva yet because she was deployed to Coheed," Othello replied, "It won't happen again, to many people in this kingdom hate each other and I didn't know I'd put them all in one place."

"This whole place is fucking difficult...I don't fit in here, do you know what happens when I get bored Abbott?" he was gripping his hands into tight fists, "I get chaotic....which is why if something happens to me, can you find Benji a home? A place with a nice family...possibly the Van Zants."

With Abbott confirming to take care of Benji Othello dived into his long long journey: he started with the Allemeade family dynamic and how the Eldouir betrayed their own kind to be bootlicking dogs to the Lorendale crown, how his conception was out of scandal that his Mother wasn't Gifted so it was easy for his Uncles to keep her until he was born. How they casted her away like trash because she wasn't like them (he reminisced how he and his Mother shared such a trait), where she disappeared after a Coheed attack and was never seen again.

He amused about being a late bloomer with his Gift, how Uncle Bayard left his family to follow Prince Julius to Nevermere and how Uncle Marek got rid of a non-gifted Othello the second he was rebellious. Othello talked about how shortly after his Gift manifested and how he took to the seas as a Pirate, when he was Captain 'Devil-Anse' of the Crimson Rose he laughed about all the raiding of ships especially those of Arynn Frey buckled under his Gift.

Then the collars came off in Lorendale and the Allemeade family emerged from there hiding, he told Abbott how he thought it was a good idea to go home. However fate had other plans; a storm wrecked them on the shores of Cambria where a waiting party greeted them the next day. Reflecting on how their leader gave him and his men a chance to run to the borders of Coheed, how he defended himself against two blonde women (how he cute the big girl down with her own blade; he told him about the other blonde the possible sister and how she wailed at him before holding a long grudge that supposedly still lingered). Then he explained the trek through Coheed with a Cambrian outcast. Here was where he changed details: he reached the border of Lorendale and was intercepted by the Eldouir who took him prisoner...for seasons and seasons before turning him over to the Crown. He was collared and put on palace arrest.

More time passed until King Cassian teamed him up with a cousin to rescue someone from the Eldouir. He told him how he came up with he plan to beat his cousin into a bloody pulp and feign for help with he Eldouir, only for Hiram to shut them out...so Othello admitted he took the collar ring off Remi...stole a gate of metal which he formed into a bal around himself...and flew to Coheed. How he hid there for years right under everyone's nose until the festival where his powers slipped...Nevermere dock fuck up....to where he as today. How the King told him of his purpose...how he did what he did with Regan. How bored he as growing just being idle...


"And now I'm in a tavern with you..."

"yeah, yeah maybe I should," Othello deflated and drank once again heavily from the shared bottle he felt his face numbing so he slide the bottle back to Abbott, "what about you Abbott? You got any exciting life events worth sharing..."
