Still...

[ dammit souji ]

I will assist you nevertheless, so do come find me next you find yourself at work.

[illomened]

[YEAAAH there's no winning against this lad.]

Of course, of course! It's nice to be able to keep your hands busy here too, I think. Vi-san does their best to help, but those tasks only last so long, haha.

[sageguidance]

That, and... well, I know very little of telephones...

[ handwavily saying Alphinaud was so ??? ]

[illomened]

[ANAIS YOUR MEMSHARES]

Oh, yes, I completely understand. So many of the things we've had to do have involved wires and I still have no idea how we got any of it to work!

[sageguidance]

Sieghart is bound to know something, yes?

[ Okay, tea's finished! Alphinaud will offer Souji one cup tastie hazelnut tea. ]

Clementine as well...

[illomened]

Si-san... Even if he knew something, I don't think he'd actually try to help unless he was bribed. He doesn't even like walking, you know!

[Clementine is perfect and he has nothing to tease her about though, she can do whatever she wants forever.

He will gratefully take the offered cup, though!]

Thank you! Oh— [SNIFFIN THE CUP.] This smells wonderful!

[sageguidance]

Bribed... [ Alphinaud sounds surprised? ] ... I had not taken him as the type.

[illomened]

[HE JUST LAUGHS.]

If it's dangerous or important, then he would step in, without a doubt. But it's quite hard to get him to lift a finger otherwise, you know!

[sageguidance]

... I see... I will have to find out what motivates him then, in that case. Especially if he has been leaving much of the work to you.

[ "what about clem" she can do whatever she wants ]

[illomened]

As I've said, I don't mind it!

[HOWEVER, because he is a gremlin:] Si-san is very highly food motivated, though! If you have a good treat to offer him, he'll likely take you up on it.
