[Even with his eyes closed, it's not hard to miss irregular movement. Sieghart opens his eyes and cranes his neck in Alphinaud's direction.]

Something wrong?

[sageguidance]

[ ... ]

I wonder. I cannot seem able to shake off this uneasiness.

[ercnerd]

What do you normally do when you're feeling uneasy?

[sageguidance]

[ pace around nervously, but he won't say that. ]

'Tis a good distraction to delve into some work in those cases, but I've little of that here. I suppose... some reading and tea, but already have I spent the morning doing so...

[ercnerd]

You and Hope are peas in a pod.

[Workaholics, the lot of them. Sieghart sits up and crosses his legs.]

What better distraction is there than company? Come sit down.

[sageguidance]

Us?

[ Come, now... But Alphinaud helpfully obliges, taking a seat. ]

You are right, however. How fare you?

[ercnerd]

Whatever's going on with you is affecting me as well, but it's nothing I haven't dealt with before.

[sageguidance]

—Is it?

That is... concerning, then.

[ercnerd]

You've made it this far. As long as you don't let that feeling swallow you, you'll be fine.

[sageguidance]

... You never worry about anything, do you?

[ercnerd]

Nervous energy should be used productively. I may not change, but anyone knows that you'll wrinkle faster if you spend all your time worrying.

[sageguidance]

[ ... ]

I don't spend all my time worrying...

[ he thinks? ]

[ercnerd]

Of course you don't. If you did, you wouldn't be sitting here with me.

[sageguidance]

As opposed to being elsewhere?

[ercnerd]

Exactly.

[sageguidance]

[ he is a little puzzled, but ok. ]

Well, then.

[ carby will also hop up on the seat, because it too wants to be comfy ]

How would you spent your "nervous energy"?

[ercnerd]

Me? I'm not one for nervous energy. But, when I start to feel restless, I train with Soluna.

[sageguidance]

Your sword, yes? I am not skilled with weaponry, alas, and I am unable to practice any magicks here.

[ercnerd]

Places like these aren't kind to magic users. What do you usually do when you're not reading and drinking tea?

[sageguidance]

Here? Well...

... Thanks to Souji's help, I've apparently taken up baking.

[ercnerd]

Apparently?

[sageguidance]

I suppose it just—happened, unexpectedly.

[ercnerd]

. . . Then how about baking something for tomorrow?

[sageguidance]

For tomorrow?

... Or are you simply craving sweets?

[ercnerd]

If it's a matter of cravings, I'll take sweets any day. I'm just planning to invite Virgo for a sit-down meal with everyone.
