[ It didn't feel too real, at times. They've managed to stop Lord Artorius's plans of suppressing human emotion, but at a great cost - Velvet. And in some ways Laphicet, too, who chose to inhabit his Empyrean form rather than his Malak one. He could no longer be seen, but his domain was strong, and Eleanor could swear she could always feel him nearby.

Eleanor had vowed to spread the word on Maotelus, the new Empyrean. But a part of her wished she could also dispel the negative notions about the Lord of Calamity, who, at her core, had been undeniably a loving sister corrupted by terrible turn of events.

She missed them both. But she also missed Eizen and the Van Eltia crew, who, despite being vicious pirates, were also the most lively beings she had the opportunity to travel with. She missed Magilou, whom she'd sometimes seen in some of the cities she herself had visited. She missed Rokurou, whose disposition had always made her feel at ease despite the dangers they had faced.

In traveling the world to offer whatever help she could as a former member of the Abbey, Eleanor faced dangers still. However, they didn't always take the form of therions or daemons. Some came from vengeful Malaks, or from humans who felt slighted and abandoned by the Abbey.

She could defend herself well, of course. But she missed the times when she was not alone in handling them.

After a particularly difficult encounter with a father who lost his daughter in a rogue daemon attack, Eleanor felt herself slump near the stump in Stonebury. She needed to breathe, just a bit. Just a bit.

And then she'd be ready to face the world again, as appropriate. ]

Yeaahhh yeah that's true. Still!

[rokurou placed a hand on her shoulder.] Wouldn't hurt to check up with him! I won't rush you though, we came here to eat this dessert, not to run off and see how some alcohol is doing.

[o wait-] Would you like to try some alcohol too? [go big or go home.]

[ eleanor pushed her now-empty glass away from her. she considered getting another serving, but--

she raised her brows at rokurou. ] I'm eighteen! [ highly affronted tone, get! ] Besides, I don't think it'll set a good example for the good people of Stonebury if they see me drinking. What would they even say?

[ not that she haven't thought about tasting it, but. she had a reputation to maintain, after all! ]

They'll say... 'hey! Look at wonderful exorcist, she knows how to rebuild houses and mingle properly!'

[rokurou had even made his voice higher pitched for that.] A few drinks wouldn't ruin your reputation!

[ eleanor just. had to stifle the snort of laughter that impersonation elicited. she reached over to swat at his shoulder lightly. ] You are awful, you know that? No one in Stonebury sounds like that!

[ although she looked a bit... intrigued? at the offer. certainly a memory of zaveid drinking what seemed to be a wine for lovers popped in her mind. what if--

banish the thought! ]

You can't tell me you know everyone here. Someone probably sounds like that!

[though he does notice her going quiet, probably thinking about something. rokurou leans in a bit closer to her.]

What's on your mind? You really wanna try some alcohol don't you? [not like he knew about the lovers thing but. yes.]

O-Of course I know everyone here! Don't be silly. Stonebury isn't as big a city as, say, Loegres! And I know for a fact that no one sounds like that here.

[ she leaned farther away in response. he couldn't read minds, could he? that wasn't part of his daemon powers, was it? ]

Which type of alcohol do you have in mind?

[if only he could read minds, it would make this all so much easier. but either way!]

Hmm... I have some sake you could try. Or we could ask the tavern here to give us some of their finest alcohol.

Sake is rice wine, isn't it? [ she couldn't deny that she was curious as to how sake tasted like. especially as it seemed so... ingrained in certain situations. such as before the rangetsu brothers fight to the death. ]

Their finest alcohol will probably be just as expensive, Rokurou. If it's only for the sake of me tasting it, I'm sure we can go without.

Great! In that case-

[he whips out the jug of sake from his very person!] Let's drink!

[ wait what

WAIT WHAT??? her expression greatly conveyed her surprise. ] You have a jug of sake? How?

[ she would just be reaching forward to frisk him. psh, what personal bubble? ] How?

[rokurou just chuckles at that!]

I have lots of tricks up my sleeve Eleanor! [sake is the slightest of his secrets.]
