Nath Tower:
With a low rumble, a black Corona gunship flew over and landed on the VTOL pad nearby. Cyrus Marshal stepped out and looked up at the tower, there were quite a few people here as well partying. Cyrus looked back to the pilot. "Keep her ready for take off. This will only take a minute." He ordered as he walked up the stairs and into the lobby and passed the crowds of people, taking the elevator upwards. He had to check on someone...
The elevator reached its destination and Cyrus stepped out into a relatively empty floor. He looked over and found the correct door and knocked. "Hey Ulysses... You in there?
Werner was lying alone on his couch, staring at the ceiling. After escaping the clutches of the Castiel Group with their new ship, which they named the Fenrir, Werner gave everyone shore leave and Cyrus stationed a full company aboard the ship so that he and his crew could rest. Werner spent his time alone in his room, in that same position. His wound had healed, but it left a deep scar that ran diagonally across his face. He looked to the door and sighed. "Yeah... hold on..." He said softly, just loud enough for Cyrus to hear. He padded over to his room and threw on some clothes and opened the door. "Hello Cyrus, what can I do for you?" He asked, letting the man in.
Cyrus walked in and looked at the man. "You look like hell Werner."
"Well... what did you expect?" Werner replied, walking past the man and grabbing some water. "So what up with the social visit?"
"I came to check on you... You haven't spoken to anyone since your debrief, hell I don't believe you have left this tower." Cyrus replied leaning up against the wall.
Werner shrugged without looking back. "And? This is my home. Why would I leave it?" He asked.
Cyrus sighed. "I don't know what you are going through. I couldn't imagine having to fight your own family. No one should have to go through that, and..." Cyrus ran a hand through his hair. "Look, staying locked away in this tower isn't going to help anything. You need to get out. You haven't done anything since...since Aashi left." He said.
Ulysses's head dropped slightly. "So what? I like remembering the good times... Is that so bad?" He asked softly.
"It is when you don't let yourself experience anything else and just live in the past Ulysses." Cyrus said walking up to him and placing a hand on his shoulder. "Come on... Uso is throwing a party. Just come say hi to everyone. Get out the tower. You need a change of scenery." He added.
The other man stood there for a moment, then looked around his empty apartment. Finally he sighed. "Alright... Let me go get dressed."
An hour later:
Osman Palace:
That same black gunship swooped low and landed in front the palace. Cyrus and Werner both stepped out of the lowered tail ramp, both dressed in clean black suits. Cyrus smiled and saluted the Ragnarok soldiers as he walked, and Werner face remained blank as he followed Cyrus into the palace. As they entered Cyrus looked over at Werner. "Look, just go get a drink and try to have fun, I need to go check on somethings." Cyrus said before patting the man on the back and walking off.
Werner just shrugged and wandered around the party, finding a bar. He sat down and signaled the bartender. "Let me get a scotch on the rocks." He said softly. The bartender complied, and slid him a glass. He took it and sipped it, looking back at the party and watching everyone.
