Understood.

[ He won't push it further--what she's said is more than enough. Mayhap some encouragement and a reminder that Ardbert has just as much right to be there as anyone else may help? ]

As for the photocopiers, if you are free later today we could procure them before someone else leaps to the opportunity. I'm unsure if this will give you the answer to your original question, though.

[recitations]

that wasn't as important, trust me. just something funny Estinien sent

[exarched]

[ Estinien...their resident comedian? ]

Oh? What did he say?

[recitations]

death threats, mostly

i think he does care

1/3

[exarched]

[ Wait. ]

[exarched]

[ WHAT? ]

more than 3 idk i'll let you know

[exarched]

[ HE DOES CARE? G'raha knows that Estinien has a tendency to be rather blunt, but... ]

[exarched]

[ Is this some sort of inside joke...? Surely Estinien doesn't actually mean it...

But Aria, of all people...that isn't funny! ]

[exarched]

[ Why would she want to print that out? To show him? To show others? Aria... ]

[exarched]

[ --No, no he's definitely got his Warrior of Light blinders on. It isn't as serious as he fears. In all likelihood, Aria laughed.

Estinien may not have. But she probably did.

Breathe. ]

fin

[exarched]

How kind of him?

[ Nailed it. ]

[recitations]

[ Blissfully oblivious to his crisis: ]

i hid his bike from the rain [ and him. Minor details. ]

he's found it now, to be clear [ with no help from her. Again, minor details. ]

[exarched]

I see.

[ No he doesn't. ]

Wait, what do you mean "hid"?

[recitations]

covered it up with some tarp in an alley under an awning just in case

[exarched]

Oh, I see. So he didn't know where you moved it and assume something happened to it?

[recitations]

[ Problem: G'raha is kind and assumes the best in her. This is a problem because it makes her FEEL BAD in a way Estinien does not. ]

i did tease him a little when he accused me of stealing it

[exarched]

[ Aria has never done anything wrong in her life ever. ]

Ah, I see. So it was a misunderstanding.

[ She literally said she teased him about it. ]

[recitations]

[ Look she's not going to look a gift horse in the mouth ]

now i know he's very attached to it

i'm sure he'll be around for dinner the next time he's back in the city

[exarched]

It suits him, doesn't it?

That's good. He didn't pick up his lunch the other day as expected and I'd assumed that he had simply gone out on a venture.

[ But now G'raha assumes he'd been angrily looking for his "lost" motorcycle. Ah...well. ]

[recitations]

you've been packing him lunch?

[exarched]

Yes, on occasion. I leave it on the balcony should he deign to pick it up.

[recitations]

[ That's... surprisingly sweet. Not that she really expects anything else from G'raha, now that she's had the second to really think about it, but ... huh. ]

and he actually picks it up [ Wow. ]

[exarched]

He does, though infrequently. His schedule is something of a mystery.

[ Though maybe she has a better handle on his habits? ]

[recitations]

it can't be helped

the next time he comes by for your lunch, will you let me know?

[exarched]

I shall, though I'm not sure I can keep him for long.

[ Coming and going like a cryptid is his status quo. ]
