[emmrich is honest - people say they're glad to see someone and he's watchful of how genuine they truly are, but with this man it's impossible to see him as anything but that. he'd even been willing to throw himself to the wolves of saltburnt by admitting the truth of it all. he didn't have to do that. august is honest, too, and the only thing he's glad about is that he's alive and there aren't any lasting wounds on emmrich's body (that he knows of).
he doesn't want to answer. not because he's spiteful. whatever justice needs to be brought down isn't august's job, and it's possible emmrich has already suffered by someone else's hand. where does he start?]
Look, I don't want to lie to you. That entire month messed me up.
[weathered words breathed out over his glass before taking a sip, gaze locked on the man closer to stranger than friend across from him.]

Can I ask you about what happened?
