[ Dining hall! Alphinaud is having a light lunch and Esmerie a little carbuncle snack. ]

Oh—good day. Is there aught I may assist you with?

[malewife]

[ can't believe alphinaud gets a free carbuncle here when he bought carbuncle with 8 vouchers in seasons. ]

I'm doing an exchange with a Watcher... I need someone to tell me a secret of theirs that I don't know. The size or the quality does not matter to me.

[arcsplainist]

[ sdjkld stop it was worth it ]

I see! Well, you're in luck—as it turns out, that is what I must I must accomplish for mine own. Then, ah, let us see...

[ ... ... ... ]

Erm... Though I may deny it, and in spite of the practice I have done... I am still unable to swim.

[ look, nobody HERE knows this, okay. ]

[malewife]

[ ....................................................... ]

Still?

[arcsplainist]

[ ............................................................. ]

Y, yes.

[malewife]

... And you did not decide to learn how?

[ Wait. ]

Does your... Sister also not know?

[arcsplainist]

[ why. he just wanted to spill a secret and move on. ]

Alisaie has naught to do with this.

[malewife]

... I see.

[ ... ]

Perhaps you and Rochalizo could figure something. I believe he also doesn't know how to swim.

[arcsplainist]

O- oh. I see.

[ a comrade... ]

We've not spoken much, truth be told.

[malewife]

[ yeah. ]

... So your exchange asked you to tell a secret?

[arcsplainist]

—Ahem. Yes, that is correct. The Watchers seem to think that secrets make for good currency, in a sense.

[malewife]

What is it for?

Enhancing your healing spell?

[arcsplainist]

[ He shakes his head. ]

Not yet. This is for my novel, if you recall; the one that is capable of pinpointing toward vital evidence.

[malewife]

[ A nod. ]

A very helpful trial item. At times, I hope we would use it a bit sooner than we do.

[ but i do love a last hour trial scramble ]

[arcsplainist]

... Yes, well. 'Twould not do to use it prematurely, either. I wager 'tis best used once we have collected all the evidence necessary, but I suppose I shall how all plays out.

[malewife]

Yes. There is always a perfect time. Just hopefully not during a scramble.

[ Stress. ]

It seems we have a lot of trial items which is fortunate.
