[ She's never one to pry SHE REALLY WASN'T GOING TO... but she... had to ask. ]

"Getting laid"?

[judicialassistant]

[ TOO BAD THERE IS NO WAY TO STUTTER OVER TEXT because ]

Don't worry about it

[azuresong]

Oh, of course! I didn't mean to pry!

There are plenty of places to lie down, though.

[judicialassistant]

[ If she even sees this— ]

Indeed there are.

Don't read anything else, okay? It's better this way. I promise. ♡

[pactmarshal]

[ SCRAMBLES FOR QUICK INTERVENTION ]

Hello, Lyria. Please close the journal and ask Tifa or Eustace for the answer to that question. Do not read anything Beat sends you.

[azuresong]

[ !!! It's Trahearne!! ]

Oh hello there ♡

Ask them? Oh... alright! I'll do that!

GONNA BE THERE

[flamekthunder]

[HE'S GOING OVER TO GRAB HER JOURNAL BE RIGHT THERE.

ALSO BEAT IS DEAD NOW.]

[azuresong]

[ SO UNSUSPECTING SHE DOESN'T KNOOOOOW ]

This post is cursed

[flamekthunder]

[EUSTACE JUST GONNA BUST IN AND LITERALLY FLING THE JOURNAL AWAY.]

[azuresong]

[ She was just about to close it and walk get up from her seat when—— ]

Ah, Eustace! I have a qu——

[ WHA WHA WHA


WHAT IS HAPPENING ]

——!!? E- eh!? Eustace...!?

[flamekthunder]

Don't read it.

[It's probably been a long time since she's seen him this intense.

Sl intense the background actually got darker???]

[azuresong]

[ Oh no...!? What did she do SHE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND

It has been so long since she's seen him like this, and she subconsciously cowards back ]

I- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you...!

[flamekthunder]

[...............Ah.

Upon seeing her cowering, a lot of that edge fades immediately and he runs a hand through his hair.]

No, sorry, you didn't do anything wrong.

[azuresong]

But... you look so mad... [ PLEASE DON'T BE ANGRY, FATHER ]

Was it something I said?

[flamekthunder]

Not you.

[Though there is a small glare at the book.]

[azuresong]

[ She's following his gaze to the journal, and the curiosity only grows!! ]

Ah, do you mean Beat? Trahearne had told me to ask you about that!

[flamekthunder]

[AND STIFFENING as if struck by lightning.

...




Adds Trahearne to the hit list—]

Ah.... Hmmmm.........

[A lot of throat clearing and internal swearing.]

It's not something you need to learn about right now.

[EUSTACE TRIES "AVOID THE TOPIC."]

[azuresong]

[ Blink blink. ]

No? But I thought everyone was "getting laid" when they go to sleep at night.

[ ?????? ]

Are they... not?

[flamekthunder]

[There's a sudden crackle of lightning that rips through the café.]

Where did you hear that?

[azuresong]

[ W- was it suppose to rain today? That a little loud. ]

N- no one! I just thought it meant "lying down"! Like... on a bed?

[flamekthunder]

[The threatening aura fades...]

That's... Close enough. However it's a crude way of saying so I would suggest not using the phrase.

[Ever.]

[azuresong]

[ Crude??? She doesn't understand at all, but deflates a little further- ]

Of course. I won't say it again...

[flamekthunder]

[....Hngh...]

It's... [A long sigh as he ruffles his hand through his hair.]

It's something that involves adults and not something to be said in casual conversation. When you're a little older we can talk about it.

[Because she's like 5 in his eyes—]

[azuresong]

[ EUSTACE PLEASE ]

Older? [ A pause. Her lips pursing. ] But I'd like to know now...

[stillarhino]

[When Lyria eventually finds this reply... or rather if, it simply says:]

its just something older people do yo
just forget i said anything
