Me again, hi
Did anyone see this network post a few days ago made by some guy called Credo?

He says he made it because he wants people to know what kind of man he is, so I'm gonna set the record straight on a few things.

Back home he was the Captain of the Holy Knights, and my old commander. I'm not exaggerating when I say he's one of the kindest, most noble and loyal people I've ever met. Everyone back home respected him, and he always treated everyone else with respect, too, including his own knights.

He got in with the wrong crowd, but that goes for all of us. Everyone bought into the church's bullshit until they screwed us over. He blames himself for that.

Anyway long story short, he's a really good guy
If he acts all dramatic and starts talking shit about himself again just
I dunno, make up your own minds but take it with a little grain of salt

Thats all have a nice day 👍

Hi Nero, I saw the guy’s post, but I didn’t reply to him as of now since I was busy at work when it got posted. Getting entangled with the wrong crowd sounds very terrifying enough.

Okay, got it. I suppose that a little more patience is in order.

Hi Harry
Don't bother replying to him if you don't wanna, he'll just give you the same crap about how awful he is and beyond forgiveness and blah blah

[phoenixwiz]

Okay, thanks then. I wasn't able to read all the comments there to make my mind up.

[birdflipping]

Honestly, you can think whatever the hell you want about him. Just figured he isn't being fair on himself if he's only sharing one side of the story.

[phoenixwiz]

True. Got any advice for me if ever I run into the guy?

[birdflipping]

Advice? Nah
He's a little intense but I promise he's a nice guy

[phoenixwiz]

Oh, okay.
I will probably take your word for it then. On second thought, do you want to change topics while we’re at it?

[birdflipping]

uhhh sure? What's up

[phoenixwiz]

The cafe is starting to offer seasonal food and drinks for the Winter Solstice right now and it is getting pretty busy over there during this time of the year. Maybe I can show you some of them someday during my deliver runs.

[birdflipping]

Sounds good. I'll be at the city stables like always, so hit me up whenever.

[phoenixwiz]

Certainly, I will do tomorrow afternoon. It’s going to be a brilliant surprise.

Let me guess
Brothers-in-arms?

[Because that smells suspiciously like highest praise in disguise, given how much of an asshole this person was when they first met.]

[birdflipping]

Something like that, yeah.

[immortalmarshal]

Must've left quite the impression if someone like you is praising him like this.

Unless, of course, you're not the cocky little asshole I ran into coming out of the words a month back.

[birdflipping]

hey, I have feelings you know 😢

[immortalmarshal]

You realize that I could do much worse than that, so consider yourself lucky I'm just being honest.

[Which is Cor-speak for 'sorry-not-sorry']

[birdflipping]

Too late. My poor heart's shattered into a million pieces all over the floor.

[immortalmarshal]

Right
And I'm the King of Altissia.

[birdflipping]

It's an honor your majesty

[ NO HE ISN'T GOING TO HAVE THIS IN PUBLIC ]

NERO. WHY.

[birdflipping]

Like you said, you wanted everyone to get to know you

I'm helping 😇

[honorkept]

DELETE THIS

[birdflipping]

you don't like my glowing testemonial?

[honorkept]

Not even a little bit, Nero.

[birdflipping]

Hey, I'm not telling people what to think

It's just that they can't make up their minds with only one part of the story. Right?

[honorkept]

And you believe your story is the right story?

[birdflipping]

I'm like the resident Credo expert! That's gotta count for something

[honorkept]

The resident Credo expert? I have no idea where you get some of your ideas.

[birdflipping]

Next time I'll make a five-part nature documentary. Then I think people will really get it.

[honorkept]

There is absolutely no reason to go that far. In fact, I think you've gone far enough with this as it is.

[birdflipping]

"When angered, the wild Credo puffs up its feathers and glares in order to scare off its enemies."

Something like that.

[honorkept]

Something like that.

But, did you get what you wanted out of this nonsense?

[birdflipping]

Made me feel better after watching you talking shit about yourself, so yeah

[honorkept]

[ It is odd how he calms down. Perhaps, it is just seeing Nero talk about him in this way, hearing some of the jokes, and simply being alive to appreciate all of these things.

He reassess his own thoughts and feelings about what he wrote, and what he said. He, at least, would feel the same amount of anger if Nero hated himself as much as Credo despises his own sins. So, he relents, a little. ]

I will, at least, admit that I may have gone a bit too far earlier.

[birdflipping]

Only a bit?

[honorkept]

Only a bit.

[birdflipping]

Hey, I'll take the win where I can get it.

[Credo admitting he was wrong to Nero of all people is rare enough as is.]

[honorkept]

Of course, you would.

[ Can he hear the sigh because he's sighing. ]

[birdflipping]

[Nero just assumes Credo is always sighing, so yes.]

Seriously though, you know you can talk to me if this stuff is on your mind, right?

I know you won't agree with anything I say
like ever
but that's fine, I can still listen

[And he's had a lot more time to think about it and move on, so Credo doesn't have to feel too guilty about digging at fresh wounds.]

[honorkept]

Perhaps, I will.

It seems better than dragging others into my business.

[birdflipping]

Or dragging others into listening you dragging yourself.

but anyway, you get it, so I'll stop bitching

[honorkept]

Yes, and now you can stop worrying.

[ Translation: Sorry for worrying you. ]

I guess I'll have to reserve judgement until I actually run into the guy; but if he made a mistake and he's sorry, he's probably not a bad person.

I mean, I've met terrible people, so, you know, just messing up because you were lied to is an entirely different thing than 'sinning'.

[birdflipping]

Pretty sure he's not gonna be happy until the Savior appears outta the clouds and personally smites his ass

But until then he could at least stand to let up trash talking himself on the network

[cess]

Right, the Savior. Well, I don't think that's going to happen here, so I think stopping the pity party is probably best.

[ says the almost literal king of pity parties. ]

[birdflipping]

Yup. He's gonna be pissed when he sees this, but who knows, maybe some of it will sink in

[and Nero will take an annoyed Credo over a depressed Credo any day]
