JT was shocked when a Germanic Inquisitor approached him and removed his collar, as well as informed him that he was officially dead for the second time in his life. Whatever secret records the Empire had on him were all scrubbed, and for the first time in decades, JT was truly a freeman.
Knowing that he only had one man to thank for this, JT quickly charted a flight to the world of Teutonia in order to meet up with Erich at the agreed location. It was far away from Erich's home, in one of the many floating cities in the world. Naturally Erich had done this because he became paranoid about being watched by the Sages and other unwanted eyes.
Once the two men met up in a cafe, they hugged it out, as if they were true brothers, before sitting down in a booth, where they ordered some food.
