[morgrim]

It really does...

[He laughs again before moving to the couch, he'll take one side which should leave you plenty of room if you're going to join him there.]

Nice place you've got here.

[It's so... neat and spacious... how do you live without tripping over fifty cat toys???]

So aside from the outfit and the hair, anything else you've gotten lately?

[armati]

More clothes, though they're decidedly less...whatever is happening here; there's also a pendant of some sort, and a sword I have no idea how to use. I can show you, if you'd like.

[morgrim]

Yeah, of course! Sounds like you've been receiving a lot of gifts lately.

[armati]

It seems so, yes.

[He'll disappear into one of the rooms nearby for the sake of retrieving a couple of them; when he comes back, he's got...a really pointlessly long sword with a white pommel with some kind of ornate design on it and no crossguard, as well as something else that's presumably the pendant in his hand. He'll pass the sword over first, at any rate.]

It might just be me, but that seems a bit impractical to use.

[morgrim]

You think?

[It's actually not sarcastic, it's a genuine question.]

I've remembered how to use a sword, but the one I was practicing with was way too short. Even this one's a little on the short side. For me, anyway.

[He doesn't have a ton of memories about swords, but that seems right given the one he had in those memories.]

You can probably learn how to use it by swinging it around.

[armati]

[Jesus.]

...I'd prefer not to, but I suppose it might be useful to know how.

[morgrim]

Not something you ever want to have to use, huh? Yeah, I can understand that.

[Not like he feels the same way, but that's fine, probably.]

[armati]

I don't care much for fighting, is all.

[He isn't sure he could kill anything if he had to?]

[morgrim]

It might be good to know how to just in case, but yeah, I can understand why you wouldn't want to.

Tell you what, whenever I get my sword back, we can test it out. See if that'll help you remember it. If it doesn't, we don't have to try again, if you don't want to. But that'd probably be the easiest way to try to remember it.

[No killing involved! It'll be fun useful! Probably.]

[armati]

...That sounds fair, yes.

[Mm.]

How did you remember, if you don't mind my asking?

[morgrim]

Went out with a guy from the network, he let me borrow a sword and I practiced against some of the monsters that are out beyond the city.

I figure this'd be easier, though.

[And probably much better for Arthur, from the sound of it.]

[armati]

Yes, of course. It's good that people from the network are being helpful, however.

[He'll pass the pendant over as well before just... Okay, apparently he's going to sit on the floor nearby instead of taking the couch like a sane person. Just sweeping the mantle he's got on out of the way and parking it on the ground, this is fine.]

Meanwhile, I don't recognize anything about that. It's obviously handmade, but I don't know who made it or why.

[morgrim]

[He'll take it and turn it over, just looking at the design for a moment.]

Huh. It's kinda cute? I don't recognize it either, though.

[He'll pass it back over, not bothered at all by the fact that you're just. on the floor now. As you do??]

What's the other outfit?

[armati]

Rather plain, actually... I remember wearing it when I was out hunting with-

[...Ah, right.]

...I told you that I knew that girl we've both seen, the one with the large, uncontrolled braid. I've remembered a bit more about her recently; she was my sister-in-law, Velvet.

[morgrim]

...Who names their kid "Velvet"...

[#priorities]

Your sister-in-law, though? Huh. So what was your wife like?

[...is it weird that he's having trouble picturing Arthur being married??]

[armati]

...Assuming that I'm correct regarding who she was, she was a good person. Her name was Celica; she seems to have saved me once. She came across me when I was at a very low point in my life, in the middle of the woods and more or less waiting to die, and she tried to convince me that it was worth staying alive. I don't know exactly what happened after that, but I did end up going with her when she offered to take me back to her home.

She was very kind, and very beautiful. I haven't remembered much else about her, however.

[morgrim]

She does sound like a great person. You really lucked out there! I'm sure you'll remember more about her.

[It's probably kind of weird to remember something like that, though...]

[armati]

...I hope I do.

[From the sound of it, he genuinely does?]

Someone that's willing to show kindness like that to someone she just met, to offer generosity to someone she doesn't even know - I'd like it if I could have found at least some happiness with someone like that in my past life.

[morgrim]

I'm sure you did. She sounds like someone I could easily see you falling for now!

[armati]

Oh...?

[He pauses for a moment before just kind of shaking his head a bit.]

Perhaps. But I'm not exactly looking for anyone.

[morgrim]

Too busy dealing with everything else? I get it.

[He'll drop it though, don't worry.]

What was her name? Do you remember that yet?

[armati]

I've never prioritized settling down with a wife and kids.

[...So yeah, kinda. That said, he pauses for a moment, because uh.]

...Her full name was Celica Crowe. When I introduced myself to her back then, I lied to her; I told her my name was Arthur, but I started to call myself something else first before changing to that instead.

[You can see where all of that is probably really awkward.]

[morgrim]

...Oh. Wow.

[You know, he honestly has no idea how to respond to that, give him a moment...]

That sounds... kinda weird to remember.

["that's rough buddy"???]

[armati]

It was...strange, yes.

[The whole name thing is a little weird, yeah...

Anyway.]

How about you? Have you remembered anything recently...?

[morgrim]

I remembered a couple of things. First of all, I was part of that Abbey organization you were running. I was a "legate" and an "exorcist" but I didn't get any context for what that means as part of that organization.
