Welp We're Here and That's What Matters

[Perhaps it's tradition by now, he doesn't know. Still, he does send a note to everyone some time after the trial. Simple and to the point:]

Because everything on this ship is awful, I think a drink is needed. Come get some at the bar, it'll do you some good as long as you don't drink too much

Filbo (pawprint)

[Indeed, if you come to the bar you'll find there's one of everything. Filbo seems to have asked literally every drink he knows or has at least heard about, and lined them up from the most mellow to the strongest. There's one of each, so it's limited, take yours before it's gone! Or...ask Jimmy Buffett for more, he's right there.

Should he be encouraging drinking? He's not completely certain, but he had to do something! And this is as good as anything -- not festive because this is no time to be festive, but also social enough to encourage coming.

This will do.]

[Zaveid... can't really blame Jasper for drinking, which is why he joins him eventually.]

Looks peaceful.

[He motions to the picture, before showing his own. It shows Zaveid having what's apparently a picnic with a young girl and a man who appears the same age as Zaveid. All three of them look happy.]

Looks like Jack thought we'd want the same thing.

...It is not an uncommon thing to desire, at least.

[He eats a bit of pancake and... processes, a bit...]

No, probably not. It's a... very peaceful thing to want, I guess.

The others in my picture would want it, too.

...

Is there a possibility it could happen under your own power?

...I want it to. I want Eizen to stop being stubborn and visit his sister. If I have to spend fifty years yelling at him, I'll do it.

[It sounds like an enormous amount of time, but the way Zaveid says it, it sounds more like the human equivalent is nagging him for half a year.]

I suppose that means there is still a chance for you, then. Just make your feelings clear while you can.

Jasper...

I don't know your situation, but if it's anything at all like mine, whoever he is... I'm sure he'd want to hear however you feel. Even if it hurts.

Eizen and I fought a lot— hell, we still argue all the time— but we're incredibly important to each other.

I do wonder. I have already poisoned the well somewhat as far as that is concerned.

...

But I want to get it all off my chest anyway instead of letting it fester, I think.

I don't know what you have gone through with him, but Eizen and I...

We... when two malakhim share their True Names with each other, it binds them forever. That sort of thing... it can't be broken. Not truly.

I would want to know. I'd try and seek the answer out. Why that bond was damaged, if I'd done anything. Even in the case where it ultimately amounts to nothing... I'd try.
