He needs no more encouragement.

[flamekthunder]

You're right.

However it's already out there and who knows what might happen.

[As much as he prefers to stay out of these things, he wants Trahearne to find happiness.]

[pactmarshal]

Who knows, indeed.

I think he's still managing just fine on his own, however. [ How did this journal page become such a mess in such a short amount of time? ]

[flamekthunder]

I'm not sure I would call this "managing."

[He's not even keeping up with everything too much chaos.... And Beat's atrocious spelling and handwriting.]

[pactmarshal]

In the broadest sense of the word.

PRIVATE

[flamekthunder]

In all seriousness, Trahearne—what are your thoughts?

PRIVATE

[pactmarshal]

I did not know he was going to do this, so I am a bit flustered.

We had spoken of romance before, and he seemed shocked that I had never been in a relationship. That is to say, I understand where this is coming from. And I appreciate the sentiment. I have simply never had anything so personal put in a forum so public before.



[ Added after a short pause: ]

Though I don't mind the thought of going on a date.

PRIVATE

[flamekthunder]

[Hmm...]

I thought as much.

[Small pause.]

And? Anyone interest you so far?

[Nevermind that he's giving Beat one hell of a lecture scolding in private—]

PRIVATE

[pactmarshal]

[ The reply comes SO LATE because he's SO embarrassed. ]








Norimune seems nice.

PRIVATE

[flamekthunder]

[It's fine he had to yeet a book out of his daughter's hands—]

Norimune.

I've spoken and met with him a few times.

[Taking notes so he can do background checks later—]

PRIVATE

[pactmarshal]

I believe I met him once before as well.

[ The recollection is fuzzy. Nightmare energy kind of messes with your memory, it turns out? ]

What do you think of him?

PRIVATE

[flamekthunder]

[Hmmmmmmmm.]

I don't think I can make an accurate judgment. However, I don't see any reason to not meet with him.

At the very least, you may form a new friendship.

[This MAY be Eustace's subtle of way of cautioning Trahearne to not get his hopes too high. He wants him to find someone, but he doesn't want him to get hurt, either.]

PRIVATE

[pactmarshal]

[ don't you worry my dude his hopes are buried in the fuckin ground ]

I wouldn't mind a new friend, either. I think I would be doing myself a disservice by clinging to those who have left, without giving the newer cohort a chance.

[ turning over a NEW LEAF ]

PRIVATE

[flamekthunder]

Then I wish you luck.

And hope for the best.

If you do somehow manage a date, you can always come to the café for a cup of coffee.

PRIVATE

[pactmarshal]

Thank you.

I appreciate the offer.

[ He would probably go somewhere more private though... ]

[flamekthunder]

[Wow they can totally make it private.




And not spy on them or anything—]

not here

[judicialassistant]

[ The Harvest is open to them too! Even if it doesn't go well—and she doesn't know why it wouldn't—Trahearne is always welcome.

But he knows that. ❤️ ]
