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.]

...mmm.

[Somehow he feels like he understands Flayn, just a little bit. He's not long-lived, but he has plenty of experience in outliving the people he cares about. It is incredibly lonely, yes. But it would be lonelier to never have anyone to begin with.]

All friendships end with a goodbye. It's no reason to never say 'hello'.

[A pause, and then:]

I'll be your friend. Until we have to say goodbye.

[Odds are that Flayn will outlive him by quite a bit. But he can accompany her for at least a small part of her journey, right?]

Exactly.

[She perks up a little at his offer, and then. Smiles.]

I was under the assumption we were already friends.

Mhmm. Just reminding you.

[In case she felt lonely and didn't think she had friends. Lalli's considered her a friend for several weeks now though.]

[The smile brightens.]

Then I thank you. It is actually quite nice to be reminded.

[She will assume friendship unless she is explicitly told no, or made to feel like the answer would be no, but there's so many grey areas to socializing that she's never quite sure of. A direct answer is good.]

[Lalli is just Very Picky about who he keeps in his life. Flayn was lucky enough to win him over right away though.

Seeing that smile though, it makes his stomach flop again. Why is he feeling so seasick all of a sudden?]

I'll keep reminding you.

[That doesn't help with his stomach any though. He's going to get some water to drink.]

[aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Ah that actually sounds really nice, just. Someone always there to remind her, hey, I'm your friend, I won't forget you, that's like the number one thing she wants in life.]

Thank you!
