[aaaaaaaAAAAHHH no you guys are supposed to think he's good at this—]
Rest assured, it's just the alcohol.
[Which he needs more of but his hand is occupied??? Truly a terrible predicament to be in. He'll let it go with a sigh for now. This is...
(making him feel like he did way back when, when Casey would tease him and he'd never know how to respond or react or recover and she'd let it go gently, just like this.
She wouldn't be proud of the things he's done, who he's decided to be. But would she be pleased that he's at least trying to find a way forward now?)
—Well, it gets his look to soften a bit into something a little less flustered.]
I do hope you'll enjoy your time in Terca Lumireis. For all its flaws, it is home. I hope you'll be able to feel the same way someday.
