Yes, avante is already in alliance negotiations with YOU-kai.
[They glance over at him.]
If you need a place to run, you can always come to avante.
A different sort of distraction. I think everyone in avante likes you, which is a rare distinction.
[They glance over at him.] There was a bad game last time this happened. So there might be another. Keep an eye out. Avante will be covering for YOU-kai most likely, since Harpy landed there.
It was a long time ago. Almost a year, actually. It is a painful memory, but the sting's faded. I can't even be mad at myself for losing it. You can appreciate part of the reason my mood was so rotten.

But I will let you know, if I need some company. Admittedly the past few days have been tough.

Do you want to talk about it, or something else?
Re: Cardinal

Maybe another time. You're one of the few people I'm glad I matched with so. I'd like to just have a nice time with you.

Getting my elbow crushed was my first injury here, too. The game where I flipped after and reamed everyone out. That's how Shu's beef with me started.
[Good times indeed. Cardinal nods, closing their eyes as the breeze from the rolled-down window hits their face.]
That sounds perfect.
