Hm, you're even more drunk than I thought you were.
Locals trying to take the new money foreigner for a ride, is that it? Ugh, of all the times I can't just wander over myself to put the fear of Sith into them. It would be such fun too. [ hmph ]
You're sure you can't strangle them even a little bit? It's very cathartic. Promise. [ pause ] --No, don't actually do that, knowing you you'd get upset after you sober up. ...And I suppose there might be a diplomatic incident or something. [ does he actually care about that? He will attempt to pretend that he cares about that. ]
I won't- I'm not that drunk, just.. a good amount. It's nice. Drink, good food 'nd a bed- all an 'uneducated country bumpkin' needs.
[He tapers off into a long, thoughtful hum]
'M sorry you have to do this even at home; you're right that I couldn't. But doing things because it's best and not because you want to- that's... hm, noble in the right way. You're a good person, I think- best as you can be in the dark. I like you.
[ there's a vague uncomfortable noise from the other end of the line ]
Ugh, if you're going to get maudlin on me I'm hanging up. Go drink some water.
[ He likes you too, El.
There's a moment of silence. ]
...Really is everybody else who makes it overly complicated, though, isn't it? [ long sigh ] Food, drink, a decent place to lay your head. I'd happily settle for that too. ...it's a little hilarious, if I'm honest. Sought out only that as a boy and somehow that spiralled into a seat on the ruling council of the Empire. Wouldn't exactly have called it.
We definitely need to send you home with a nice essay about how they shouldn't make you inherit, though, honestly it's horrendous. Hm-- Are you by yourself...? [ not that Eleven can't defend himself just fine if he's wandering around drunk at some party, but Arche absolutely doesn't trust the combination of overly nice beings and alcohol. ]

He yawns]
Would be nice, other than that. And the pretending. Hope you're able to find some solace in all this too.
