Otto had merely watched the conversations between the house members, not finding it in his best interests nor his place to speak in such a conversation, he was merely a doctor. The foreigner exchanged a sigh as he closed his eyes for a moment, remembering the past when he had first met Leon. Those were indeed the good times, a smile creeping to his voice as those thoughts dared to come to him. 

[i]”Those were the good days, the most fortunate day of my life as I dared exit the galleon in which had taken me to a strange a foreign place. ‘Twas a place of majesty and a land for hope in the eyes of the younger, if not more cheerful and unmanly, me. I barely understood the native tongue, it differing from mine to such a large extent, but I managed. And yet, it was then, as I left the ship and docks behind me, when I had met Leon Delorano, a most magnificent man and a most kind man. We made talk as I left the docks, I told him in how I was searching for a new occupation in these lands and I remember that I complimented him on his extravagant wares. We conversed for hours, Leon touring me through the city and showing me much of his family estate. It was as if two parts of a puzzle simply clicked together and formed a picture in complete unison. As luck permitted, it was that very same day that as one of Leon’s friends had fallen sick and I rushed to help the fool who had merely contracted a small bout of food poisoning. After such a treatment, Leon hired me and thusly I joined his family, quite happily as well. I remember being more intune with the family then, this family in which I am forever grateful for. Forever, shall I be grateful for my friend Leon.”[/i]

Though, the words of Lucien and the Guard Captain to Juniper snapped him back to reality, reminding him that he lived in the present and not the past. Otto’s smile seemed to disappear within an instant at the notion that someone have to leave this meeting which was in remembrance for someone so grand, offended. “No,” Otto spoke up towards them, “I do not believe that anyone is unimportant here as this is Wake is in remembrance for Leon, as we all should know. It would be disrespectful to his very being should we not all attend.” With a sigh of disapproval he continued, “And look at us. None of us are celebrating, there is no joy here. Where is the merry we are supposed to be making? Why have we simply been moping when Leon is in a better place?”
