And it's the stars, the stars that lie to you.

[This week, Varric opted to take a page from Vanille’s book. Gathering everyone together after the roller-coaster that the first trial had been proved to be somewhat cathartic for himself. He hoped that it would prove to do the same for the others.]

[He wasn’t alone, of course, having found himself blessed with the most ragtag team of chefs and party-planners. He might have had words for and thoughts on Elda and Kimbley, Mikazuki was welcome company, and he wasn’t about to turn away potential allies, even in a fight as simple as cooking dinner.]

[Once everyone’s set to a task, baking a cake, brewing tea, or stirring stew (the only task Varric could think to assign Elda to), Varric excused himself to his room. His first task was writing up cards, each personally titled and signed by Varric.]

Food in the Library. 5 p.m. Don’t spend the night alone.

[Each note was slid under a door and accompanied by a single rap on the wood.]

[With his tasks completed, Varric returned to the kitchen to put out any potential fires and, with luck, set the food out. A table in the library would be adorned with plenty of tea, cake, pancakes courtesy of Viktor, and stew thanks mostly to Varric (sorry, Elda).]

[ Mikazuki remains seated comfortably on the floor before realizing he should get up, so he does so, and he, for a moment, tries to smooth out the wrinkles in his clothing. ]

Well, I think that's pretty understandable.

[ ... ]

And speaking of drinks, did you have a chance to get something to eat?

[oyashiromama]

T-to eat? Aah, no... No, I haven't, but...I'm headed to where everyone's gathered, after...washing up a bit.

[...]

Where...is everyone gathered?

[tsugomori]

Ah, I see. Well, everyone is currently within the library again. Myself and a few others figured that it'd be a good place to have everyone gather again.

[ It's going to become a habit, it seems. But, at that, he'll give a nod and to head towards the door. ]

I suppose now would be the time to give you the space so you can prepare. I hope you'll continue to enjoy your tea, Miss Hanyuu.

[oyashiromama]

...Thank you again, Mikazuki.

[Before he leaves, just-]

For all of this.

[tsugomori]

It's no problem. I'm always glad to help.

[ It's the least he could say, before he makes his exit. It seems at the very least he's done his best to provide a great help and that is good enough for him. ]
