It's nice to watch. Calming. I thought about jumping on it and seeing what's going on in it, but I haven't yet. We could go together?
Yeah, the things we might have seen. Maybe there's more out there, past the Continent. Have you ever wondered what else might be there that we just didn't know about? I do sometimes.
From my observations, it's only slowest at the start of the night and the end. Closest though... It passes by that sandbar on the east at least 4 times a night.
[ Give him a minute. He's processing all of this. ]
You know, I expected worse so yeah. We could... we could try that.
Right. So the three of you drank an... Esquie full of wine.
[ Just let him lay down because even splitting that between three people... that's a terrifying amount to drink. He's doing the math from memory, but. ]
That's impressive.
I would have been out for four days if I had that much.

[They're well past protocol keeping them on a planned track, aren't they?]
There's a lot of things we never would have expected to see. Esquie would have flown us, if there had been a chance.

[ There's no part of him that knows what to expect but that's part of the fun. ]
Well now I'm curious. What's the most surprising thing you saw then?
no subject
[Let her just. Think. About what she should write back about that.]
Well, grandis are also real. We made poems together.
Also, Esquie was full of wine.
[Was being key.]
no subject
[ Gustave is amused by the first part of that, slightly horrified by the second part. ]
I have too many questions to know where to start.
no subject
It seems the grandis prefer combat with words. If that helps.
[Because surely the grandis are the part that raise the most questions. And not the Esquie wine.]
no subject
Right. That's... not what I had questions about.
[ There's a slight pause. ]
Esquie was full of wine?
Was?
no subject
Oh, yes. We all had some after Sciel found out.
Except Maelle. Looks like she'll have the time to gain a taste for it.
no subject
[ Give him a minute. He's processing all of this. ]
Was.
[ Sorry, he's stuck on that part. ]
Lune, how did you all drink that much wine?
no subject
[A veritable dispenser of solutions. Just fastball special him.]
Maybe it was a bit much for one night, but it wasn't just me.
Sciel had her fair share, not to mention Verso.
[Hard to say for certain Monoco was drinking so he doesn't get part of the credit. Even if he was very sporting with her.]

[And despite Luneโs poor participation in the expeditionโs launch party, she actually can keep up with Sciel pretty well, drink-for-drink.]
It was fine. We just needed a little recovery time in the morning.
no subject
[ Gustave... cannot do that. Couldn't then, couldn't now. Just the thought of it makes his stomach twist. ]
I'm on the line between awe and disappointment now.
