[ ??? ]

Yes. I am good! I think?

[ technically her alignment is neutral but ]

What is biggie?

[stillarhino]

[...]

YOU KNOW
THE ONE THAT IT AINT

[Nailed it.]

[hearthwarming]

[ ??? ]

I see...

What does it mean when you are writing with your letters all capitalized?

[stillarhino]

IM DOING WHAT

[A pause. Then a reply that seems to be written larger than before? Maybe?]

SHIT NO
YOUS RIGHT
MY BAD

[No explanation is offered.]

[hearthwarming]

[ oh no. the letters look so alarmingly large in her cute little journal!! ]

What's going on? Are you sure you're alright?

[stillarhino]

I SAID WE GOOD YO
WOULDA SAID IF WE AINT
WHICH WE AINT
WE AINT AINT
YEAAAAAH THATS IT

[hearthwarming]

OH... ALRIGHT

[ somehow she thinks maybe the communication will improve if she also starts to write with full capitalization. ]

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU DRINK LOTS OF WATER AND COME SEE ME TOMORROW MORNING WHEN YOU ALL RETURN TO TOWN

[ there will be a lesser restoration spell waiting with Beat's name all over it. ]

[stillarhino]

[There is some time before the next reply is sent. And it seems like his handwriting has gotten even worse, almost as if it was chicken scratch.

And it seems like he's back to writing in lowercase once again, though the indentation of the writing appears lighter than usual.]

whaaat
nah nah we aight here we good
trees got me
aint that right tree

[Tree? Does he mean the trees out by the campsite? Or maybe it's shorthand for something else. Or someone else.]

[hearthwarming]

[ t...rees....?? oh. oh no. he means trahearne, doesn't he... if not for the fact that she is also messaging the sylvari, she might have never realized who he means. ]

I see... If Trahearne is trying to rest or relax... Diluc is there, too. Do you remember him? He was there when I teleported us all back to my home that night. He's tall and has long, red hair. You can ask him for help too.

[ he's used to taking care of drunk people ]

1/2

[stillarhino]

diluc? diluc diluc diluc

[A few inkblots appear on the page, probably from how Beat taps the nib against the paper as he thinks. Doesn't help that he's only seen the guy once.]

[stillarhino]

But it seems like he connects the dots once he begins scrawling on the paper again.]

OH YOU TALKING ABOUT KETCHUP?

[Looks like we're writing in capitals again.]

[hearthwarming]

[ if only Beat could see the face that Ori was making at her journal upon realizing that A) we are indeed back to capitals and B) 'Ketchup' is his nickname for Diluc... ]

Yes... That's him...

[stillarhino]

YEAH YEAH YEAH
IMMA KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR HIM
MAYBE HES GOT MORE BOOZE

[Beat, you're missing the point here...]
