There's some relief, in the solidarity, that he hates and grips to in equal measure. That the names don't go away. Neither do the memories. Killed for a stupid god's fucked up interrogation that was never going to fucking work to begin with, when Charlie didn't know.
"Lorick wasn't in our pit." His own voice surprises him, unaware he had something to say until he's already mid-sentence. "He... we got out of our pit, a-and we found him in another one, we... got him some water, and. And helped him out." He sniffs thickly. "He- fuck."
He rubs a hand down his face, his hand piping hot from the room against his chilled face, rolling it down to the back of his neck like it'll help settle something down his spine. "H-he was alright. He- w-we wouldn't have escaped the prison without him. He was only there because he helped you- n-not from the King, I think, he just... chose it. Maybe he was waiting for us, I don't know. But he's out, now, too."
