Chapter 19: Partial Reconciliation

Richard sat outside of the hut in the blizzard. He didn't mind the turbulence. Cabs came out with a bowl of his "dank-ass" stew and sat next to him.

Cabs: "Here, you screamed for like ten hours."

Richard: "Thanks."

He began to eat.

Richard: "So, uh, Ludo, how gay is he? I mean, you know how I feel about them."

Cabs: "Extremely gay."

Richard: "Huh."

Cabs: "I guess it's been a crazy week."

Richard: "Yeah, I gave a little girl a knife made from a part of my body and I almost got raped."

Cabs: "Has she stabbed anyone yet?"

Richard: "Possibly. I felt a weird tingly feeling a few days ago where I removed the piece from."

He thought about Beatrix and the knife for a second.

Richard: "Actually, most probably."

Cabs: "Cool."

Richard: "So, um, about Nogu..."

Cabs: "Yeah, he kicked our asses, I know."

Richard: "No, I'm sorry about leaving you there. That was impulsive and immature. I even went back to that spot after about a century."

Cabs: "I'm sorry too. I started all of that. I had to destroy that statue. I got that town slaughtered. I should've let it go. Bantu wouldn't have wanted me to do that."

Richard: "I guess we both fell victim to vengeance."

Cabs: "Yeah."

Richard: "I guess we can't go back on what we did. We just have to accept it, Cabs. We committed genocide."

Cabs: "Yeah, well, after we set all the slaves free, do you want to stick around? We, uh, we still need to get them all to a sanctuary or somewhere."

Richard: "I don't know. Maybe. I don't know."

Cabs got up and pat his shoulder.

Cabs: "Well, I hope you find out what you want."

Cabs walked back into the hut to join his lieutenants. Richard finished up the stew.

Richard: "Well, that was mildly adequate."
