[ It's late in the evening, but there's still a bit of light in the background as Rin sits outdoors in the southern part of Aghmhor. No doubt she's been tending to her garden in an attempt to keep her mind off of certain things (or people, in this case), but some things need to be addressed. Holding up a familiar piece of parchment, she waves it a bit in front of the locket and addresses her fellow Shardbearers with an exasperated tone that matches her image. ]

Now this is a good example of how a Baron should handle their affairs though I do have to question the matter in which Baron Sterling Archer conducted his will. [ Why she's even wearing a sign that reads PRUDE right across it... only after she was cursed into doing so. A small minor detail that no one has to know. ] So listen up new Barons--because I know there's more than one of you--but inside of your stupid spires is a device I created. If you want to know how to use it to communicate privately with other spires, you can ask your fellow Barons or you can throw a nice gift my way for a brief lesson.

Just... no more liquor. [ Throwing the piece of paper over her shoulder, she turns the locket around to show crates of varying quality. Mostly good as he did have expensive tastes. ]

I work at a coffee shop, not a bar. What am I supposed to do with this again? [ Drink it all? There's no way that's happening. ]

I could share it with whoever could do me a favor. I have a lot of things that need doing should you alcoholics need a fix while sober.

I'm not going to be drinking all of this. [ Hmph. ]

Even if the will states it.

This much alcohol could poison a person.

I'm not gonna argue on you with that one. [ He's... inclined to agree. ] I can't believe anyone had that much to give away in the first place.

Want to hear something even more atrocious than that?

[ She doesn't give him the opportunity to ask: ] This is only half of what he owned. The other half was given to someone else.

Sheesh. No wonder he's not around anymore.

[ Ha ha... ha. ]

No doubt he was suffering from alcohol poisoning before he left. [ Honestly it could explain why he was always flirting with her. ]

Fortunately he knew what to expect unlike Baroness Beatrix and Baron... what's his face? [ Shrugging. ] Having a will in a place is good even if it's mostly nonsensical.

Guess so. We don't need any more of the spires to crumble down again. Though, there was someone willing to take up one of 'em, at least.

I don't understand what any interest someone would have in a pile of rocks, but let them have it. [ Says Rin, the jewel magus. ]

Especially if they plan to do something with it.

Beats me. But new towns are good if they build them up, right? Especially with everyone moving around so much lately.

[ Like everyone from Leathann. Probably some other places, too. Maybe they could use the new homes or... something. ]

Right, I've been looking to coordinate some of those efforts in order to keep the economy balanced in my own home area. [ She says it dismissively as if that was all there was to it.

Appearances are important here after all. ]

Though it would be nice if Leathann could remain.

[ Not that he knows economics or anything, so for all he knows, it's important enough. ]

There's a lot of us looking into that. [ Keeping the void back, that is. Not allowing the large island to meet the same fate Mt. Verla did. ] It won't have to go as long as everyone keeps working at it.

There are. [ She recalls her arrangement with Gilgamesh, but doesn't incriminate herself by voicing it out loud. ]

If I can provide help in any way, you should let me know. I'm closer than most of the others from our court.

[ With a nod: ]

I haven't heard anything new since I was there last, but I'll give you a heads up when I do.

Good.

If you're not there now, where are you? [ Nosy, nosy. She's always prying into the matters of others. ]

—Huh? I came back to Diasbaile. This is where I usually stay.

Huh... the place with the cultists? [ That's right.

What's wrong with you, boy? ] I don't need to save you from them, do I?

[ Excuse you. ]

There's a lot more weirdos than those guys here. [ Yeah, that's what he thinks of all the religious folk. ] Doesn't mean I can't handle myself just fine.

[ Rin will one day have to show him a movie involving cultists in her time just so he can understand her concern. ]

I don't mean to imply otherwise--[ Except she does mean to imply that. ]--but that people often are made unaware that they need saving from these sorts of organizations. I don't think the one involved there is all that bad, but it's troubling to think of a good boy like yourself being surrounded by it.

What other weirdos are there?

[ ????? Rin, you are out of your mind, and the mildly contorted expression making its way on Eren's face conveys that very sentiment rather well. ]

I don't go out of my way to deal with them if I don't have to. [ Is that proof enough?? ] Or any of the other people who run the temples and all that stuff. I don't buy any of it.

[ That's the kind of weirdos he means. ]

[ Oh, he's openly hating on religion. All right, seems he hasn't been brain washed or anything so there's no need to worry about strange rituals he may get involved in. ]

Yes, that's good.

Try to maintain your distance if you can.

[ He grew up in a world where no one takes the one religion that's around seriously. He's probably safe on that front. ]

What're you so worried about it for?

It's just that cults can be dangerous and can make a person believe things that aren't true in order to sway them to their side. Not to mention the power of suggestion here as well as all the magic you're probably not used to fighting off.

[ She's not worried about him, shut up. ]

[ If he were the type to roll his eyes, this would be the time to do so. (But he isn't, so Eren just gives a flat look instead.) ]

Well, don't think about it. I've got better things to do than pay attention to those guys.

I don't plan to waste any more thought on it now that you've put my concerns to rest.

[ Hmph. ] What are you keeping busy with anyway?

[ He appreciates the topic change, really. ]

After last month's mess? [ 'Cause, well, that was screwed up for sure. ] I work alongside the other soldiers at the castle when I'm not on an assignment.

[ Despite being a part of Caer Scima's military, no one makes him show up. But he's going to continue acting like the soldier he is regardless, so he does. ]

[ That was... quite the mess though Rin's not going to admit what part of it she had a hand in. Not that she can if she wanted, that was the unspoken power of a geas. ]

Sticking to what's familiar? [ Or did he have another reason for pursuing the militant path? ]

You weren't badly hurt by that aforementioned mess, were you?
