[Grabs his phone, slumping in his seat a little so he can text with his hands under the table]

[ ... Sets his drink down. ]

I can hold 'im down if ya wanna go fer the phone.

[ not even waiting for Nick to try, she's already attempting to smack the phone from Jewel's hands ]

I dont blame you, I blame everyone putting everything on you.

This kid just wants fashion advice though!

Ya ain't the only fashionista on this ship.

An' it's rude ta yer current company ta be on yer phone.

[ Time to get another round of mimosas for the table, they're gonna need it. ]

Belle... Bijou...? Well, one of him'd gladly un-potato-fy him or whatever he'd call it. Or he can wait.

[ if she won the phone war, she'll shove it in ~~between her boobs~~ her purse.

Worried that he might think this is some kind of attack on top of all the other attacks he's faced over the past few days, she sighs and takes his hand to try comforting him. ]

Jewel... I can barely unpack all the things you said happened. I can't imagine what it's been like for you. You need you time. And prolly a nap.

[She is mighty and wins the phone war, so he just sits up in the chair and shakes his head]

Okay, no more phone during breakfast. Lunch. Brunch.

Second the nap. Schedule some time fer yerself in the day or ya ain't gonna have any.

Very least, shut yer phone off fer a few hours at night or somethin'.

I'll carry you to the nap zone if I have to.

And just so we're clear, you're not ruining anything for Siren's Melodies.

[Snags another piece of bacon]

I know I'm not ruining anything for Siren's...it was just frustrating. I felt pressured and cornered. Didn't like it.

[Bites down on the bacon, chewing for a bit]

I'll make sure to take a nap. And see what I can do about turning my phone off.

[ Frowning a bit. ]

I'd recommend ya ta tell 'em to fuck off, but only one o' us is banned from 3 bars fer a reason.

[ Time for some salad maybe the bitterness will counter the bitter taste all that leaves in his mouth- ]

I'm pretty damn sure there's a way ta schedule yer phone inta silent mode fer a while. Could even send back texts or somethin'?

I can help set up a DND and PR-friendly auto reply. After brunch.

Seriously, I can't believe someone would get mad about supposedly sleeping around but then flip it and demand you sleep with someone else. There aren't enough hours in the day for sleeping with everyone attracted to an idol.

Only two options for an idol. Virgin or whore.

[Picks his mimosa back up giving the glass a little swirl]

To be fair, I don't think they realized how bad what they were saying sounded.

Those are some shit options.

Reckon if ya get caught up in the moment it's easy ta say some real stupid shit.

Kisses aside, you've been super low-key. But tons of people kissed for that Bingo Performance, so I dunno how they'll function here. And it's not even their business anyway.

[ sips her glass ]

Mm, that’s what it boils down to. Good intentions or not, it’s not their business.

[Leans back in his chair a bit]

It’s over at least.

Hah, J's got the right o' it. Always knew she was the smartest.

[ Picking up his glass. ]

Here's hopin' it stays over then.

But if something else goes wrong, please say something. You shouldn't have to deal with it alone.

If something else goes wrong I’ll make sure to handle it. I’m just giving a little leeway this time because I really think they had good intentions. If there’s a next time I won’t be so patient.

Now. Anyone else have an exciting morning?

[ That's not a 'I will say something next time' but he's just gonna leave that to J to scold him about... ]

Did some yoga. Taught someone some yoga.

Handling it is what you did the last time. I'm saying please don't do it alone. If not me, tell Gray, at least.

If someone seriously thinks it'll disrupt the Family dynamic, then he should nip that in the bud.

Just helping Nettle out with the ingredient gathering. The Healing Pools are locked again and the conditions changed.

I don’t think I’ve tried yoga before… Is it a good workout?

Ah, the ingredient gathering was really helpful. I’m getting real sick of appetizers.

Damn, does that mean I gotta open up the perfumes again...

Kinda? It's more fer flexibility an' muscle strength, balance, focusin' yer concentration...

[ Pauses then looks over at them both. ]

Stress relief's a big one people say they get outta it. Mental health too, an' improved sleep.

Can't say it's all guarenteed, but plenty o' people'll say that's what they get outta it.

[ she sees Jewel not acknowledging what she said, but sighs and moves on. She said it. ]

I deffo sleep better when I work out before bed, but yoga seems like a better way to do that without getting sweaty.

And yeah, you're gonna have to unlock that place again, but I think it said something about holding hands with someone the whole time you're there?

That's not too bad, right?

Improved sleep sounds pretty tempting. I haven’t really been working out at all since we got here, but I probably will now that we’ve been here this long already.

Holding hands, huh? Thats easy enough.
