GROWING BONDS AND TEASING THREADS

Fearne is initially chosen to ask Orym a question for "What the fuck is up with that", but doesn't really know as she already knows so much about him. Ashton says that they have a question, and Fearne passes it along to them. They then ask what Orym's group is doing in town, something that Fearne avoided on the last round. Orym says that he'll answer, and Ashton says that he doesn't have to incriminate anyone or use proper names. Orym says he's there on behalf oh his home, Ashton interrupting to ask if he's referring to the Ashari. Orym confirms this and explains how his home was attacked and he's following a trail that might lead him to who attacked it. Ashton asks if Orym is a higher up in his home city, and Orym says that the cities pretty high up, before realizing that's not what they mean. They clarify to ask if there was a reason his city sent him, but Orym says that him traveling lined up with what his city needed more than any actual position.

Orym explains the attack that happened in Zephrah to the group, and Ashton asks how long ago this was. Orym says that it was six years ago, and Ashton asks if the name of the town was "Ashari". Orym says it's Zephrah, which confuses Ashton. Orym explains that his people are called the Ashari, but the town is Zephra, prompting the entire group to agree that the naming convention is bad. Orym asks if people from Jrusar are called Jrusarians, and Ashton says that they are.

Fanon
Ashrym is a popular ship in the Bells Hells fandom, although not as popular in the overall CR fandom. Many shippers see them as campaign 3's battle couple, as they tend to team up during fights. It also helps that they're both melee fighters and can both do a lot of damage. A lot of fans also like how they tend to be rather soft with each other. As outside of battle Orym makes sure to be careful with Ashton when he touches them, just to stop the chances of setting off his chronic pain. On AO3, Ashrym is the second most written ship for Orym and the most written for Ashton. It is also the third most written ship for Campaign 3. There are currently 290+ written works.
