[The message is simple, because there's no reason to elaborate. Everyone knows what's happening and where it'll be. But it needs to be done, so that no one comes to him at the last minute to find things shuttered.]

The Barrel will be closing as of the 27th.

Thank you for your patronage. It has meant the world.

[ Friend. Friend. Why didn't he do this after their meeting so she could be there for him?? ]

Lord El-Melloi II...

Switches to compass.

[gordianknots]

Hey. It's fine. I've done my mourning.

[gandere]

Without me. [ Just a bit slighted. ]

[gordianknots]

It was done while you were seeing to you own things. Honestly, I don't think you would have liked seeing me as I was--

[gandere]

It isn't fair to shut your friend out, stupid! If you're hurting, then you should be with someone you love so that you can work through it quicker!

[ Give her like.
3 days.
to take all of this back????????????????? ]

[gordianknots]

I got to fly with you to the Station, and we spent a full day bullshitting. That helped a lot, even if I never voiced that there was something wrong.

Even if it was a short time, it was still an enjoyable experience for me.

Where are you going next?

[gordianknots]

Haven't decided yet. I do appreciate everything you contributed. Food wouldn't have even existed if it wasn't for you.

[steelminded]

...that's kind of pushing it for a compliment, don't you think?

I'm pretty sure there's someone else that's better at cooking than me.

[gordianknots]

I'm going to train you to take a compliment without deflecting.

[gandere]

Why didn't you tell me? I could swing by there and set it up, to make better ward it or something. Anything.

[ She'll protect a stupid building just for him. ]

[gordianknots]

I've warded it to hell and back, and there's going to be an ice wall around the area thanks to Mr Frost and his abilities.

[Waver shifts a little, and meets Rin's gaze.]

If it survives, then it will survive.

[gandere]

I'll do something to the area around it. Something.

[ She hasn't thought of what yet considering she's a mess and already stressed between so many projects. Just, uh, give her a minute. ]




Anything..?

[gordianknots]

Maybe someone will be smart and use it as a field hospital.

[gandere]

All of my medical supplies... after I spent all that time building up a stock.

[ #firstdrabwurldproblems ]

[gordianknots]

[Waver breathes out, and pokes the compass.]

It's gonna suck. But it's the least of our problems.

[gandere]

Yes, I'm aware.

... of our problems. [ Of his problem with her. ]

I found a solution over what we last discussed. It'll work, and I shouldn't be able to spread it out over a week which hopefully in that time, the actual battle will start up.

[gordianknots]

Hm?

[gandere]

Those spires... are constructs for war, correct?

—but there's no way for them to communicate safely amongst each other. How will someone know a spire is under attack without risking the other side hearing it over the locket?

[boutant]

You okay?

[gordianknots]

--Go on.

[gordianknots]

Well, I drank myself stupid with you, which helped with the coping.

[gandere]

So if I can convince Saber that it's worth having something for each spire to communicate, they'll send me to each one, probably with a guard in order to ensure I'm not picked off.

See?

I'm helping, but not helping. No one's going to have me stop mid-job to join a fight.

[huntedby]

I am sorry for you.

[gordianknots]

Rin, I owe you a hug the next time we see each other.

[So, before the meeting with the Bruc. Of course.]

And you can make it very clear these services aren't free.
