[recitations]

Are you busy?

[exarched]

[ Aria, for you, he is NEVER busy. ]

Not at all.

[ He just dropped everything he was doing, dw. ]

Might I be of assistance?

[recitations]

[ G'raha.......... ]

There was a sandwich in front of my room today. Unsealed.

[exarched]

[ Oh. ]

Is that so?

[recitations]

Mmhm.

I think it could be sabotage.

[exarched]

And what gave you that impression?

[recitations]

It is the oldest trick in the book, isn't it? Drugging foods masked in an act of kindness.

Have you seen anything similar? [ G'raha you didn't leave a NOTE ]

[exarched]

Not exactly.

[ Well now it just feels awkward... ]

There does seem little call to mask ones debaucheries here. Mayhap it is just as it appears?

[recitations]

[ "I thought you'd be more concerned about this" is what she starts typing, until ... hm.

Hmmm. ]

G'raha, darling.

1/2

[exarched]

[ He tried. Okay? He tried... ]

[exarched]

It's an "egg salad" sandwich. I just learned how to make those.

[recitations]

[ If he really listens, he might hear her laugh from the other end of the hall ( or wherever her room is ). ] Well, that explains the generous portions.

You could have just asked me to pick it up.

[exarched]

[ The walls are, INDEED quite thin. But what's more is that he would recognize her laugh anywhere. It makes him smile, even at his own expense. ]

I didn't want to interrupt and I was on my way out for the day as it was.

[ He did absolutely plan it ahead of time, but at least that part is true. ]

[recitations]

Interrupt me from what?

[exarched]

Your day?

It was early.

[recitations]

[ What on ETHEIRYS could she be so busy with G'RAHA ]

Have you eaten?

[exarched]

[ She's ever someone with a billion obligations?? He just wanted to leave a sandwich!! ]

Not yet.

[ He absolutely has, but he is hoping... ]

[recitations]

[ She's not the Warrior of Light here!! ]

Someone's going to need to help me finish these.

[exarched]

[ She's the Warrior of Light anywhere!

But also...

! ]

I know of no one better to call upon a party of eager and hungry adventurers. Would it be presumptuous to put my name on your roster?

[recitations]

Are you taking me for someone who would ask you to invite Alphinaud and Alisaie without inviting you? I'm wounded.

[exarched]

Not at all.

[ Only that he's eager to spend time with her. ]

Only that it's been so long since we were all able to share a meal together.

[recitations]

[ It has, hasn't it? ]

Long overdue, I'd say.

[exarched]

[ He HAS noticed that Aria and Ardbert seem to go out to eat quite often. And though G'raha and the twins certainly do their fair share of takeout, he is finding that it's often more economical to prepare food themselves.

Albeit...cooking skills are. Well.

They're leveling. ]

You and Ardbert are always welcome to join us as well. Our room comes with a small kitchenette we are endeavouring to make better use of.

[recitations]

Kitchenette. Fancy.

We can come by in half a bell with the sandwiches.

[exarched]

We gladly await your arrival.
