An amount of time had passed since he had last seen Ormir. There was a part of him that didn't even think he was going to go see the elder man for an even longer time. As he had sat in that cage, he had thought about things for far too long. He'd thought about every single time he tried to impress a man that simply didn't want to be impressed. He was not his sister or Freydis. Afshin was nobody important to Ormir. He didn't know why he still tried. Torsten had told him not to think about it, but how could he not? How could he not think about the fact that the man he looked up to wanted nothing to do with him? Everything happened for a reason though. Everything had its purpose and everything would always make itself clear to people when the time was right. He just wished it hadn't taken so long for him to realize it.
However, he'd still talk to the man. Ormir was important to him even if he wasn't important to his father's right hand. It was almost funny. Both of them gave him that same look. Orhan tried to hide it, but he didn't think Ormir ever did. Respect given was respect earned though, wasn't it? His thought had always been that he would grow to be respected. Not just be Ormir, but by every Iskaran. Easier said than done to accomplish considering everyone though he was just a sniveling little bastard. Which, maybe he was, but he was fucking trying here. Why was that so difficult for people to understand?
A hand lifted to knock on the door he was stood in front of. Ormir's door. "It's me." He paused as his gaze fell to the floor. "You don't have to open the door. Or even talk to me. But...I'm going to talk to you." He shook his head. "Give me some sign that you're listening."
