Alright. Thank you for letting me know! I really do appreciate it.

I don't want to seem like I'm overly fretting... But I just want him to have a good time and make more friends.

You don't seem that way at all. It's natural to think of your loved ones in that manner.

Does he not get out much, then? He strikes me as a busy man.

Quite! Always hard at work at the winery or training...

[ and also he doesn't like getting out much. ]

I suppose you two are a bit similar in that. Though you've made quite a few friends, haven't you, Trahearne? Like Phantom... He's there too, right?

[ Oh no, she's about to call him out, isn't she...?

But things take a turn in a direction he prefers. He'd rather talk about Phantom than himself. ]

He is! I think he's a lot like myself and Diluc - he spends much of his time alone or minding the music studio, and he avoids the light of day, at that. So what time I get to spend with him is always a treat.

[ He sounds like he rarely sees Phantom...but they hang out a lot despite all those things. ]

[ are Three Men... actually Four Men? How many of these Men are there? ]

That's lovely... I worry a bit about Diluc sometimes, but Venti is here as well as many others from his world so I suppose it's a bit unwarranted...

[ including his estranged adopted brother oops ]

I'm glad you've made friends like Phantom and Eustace, though. You three are quite close, but I'm sure you end up spending more time with Phantom even given his habits, since Eustace has a dozen or so fuzzy children to take care of and all. I hope I can get to know him a bit better too.

Eustace also has Tifa, remember. I'd rather not take up more of his time than necessary. They should be spending time together. The same goes with Diluc - you should be spending time together. That's why I d

[ The writing suddenly stops there; besides a small smudge by the last letter, there is nothing to suggest why Trahearne did not finish. ]

[ CONCERN. ]

Trahearne?

Your message was cut off abruptly.

And Beat is writing me with all of his letters capitalized and I'm not sure what it means. Do you know? Is he okay?

Sorry. I didn't mean to worry you. I had to keep Beat from vomiting in the gumbo.

What?

What happened? Is he going to be alright?

[ The next reply comes in a little delayed. And when it does, Trahearne's normally neat handwriting is a little messier, likely because he's not looking as he's writing. ]

Ori, is Beat not an adult? Is he still a child? Should I have not given him alcohol?

I think I made a mistake.

[ oh. oh. ]

To be honest, I'm not actually sure how old he is, but... it's a party, and I don't think you are in the wrong for letting him have some. He's safe with you all there, if not... a handful. He'll run out of energy at some point!

[ maybe. she's not actually sure. ]

[ Is he really not in the wrong............. ]

I hope so. He seems to gain even more energy as time goes on...

I should be looking after him. Thank you for checking in, Ori. I hope your party is not nearly as messy as this one. Enjoy yourselves - tell the rest I say hello.

Oh dear...

Make sure he drinks a lot of water and that he lays down on his side whenever he finally rests... And tell him to come see me when you all return to town. I'm sure he'll be feeling quite woozy...

Take care, Trahearne. Please let the others help you out with making sure everyone's okay!
