[Elliot moves this conversation to Whatsapp instead of the Libra app, just in case]

Hey, can either of you tell me anything about Douman? How wary should I be of that guy?

Also Jusis I was talking to Zhongli's fiancee, and he said kids aren't off the table for them, so you might get siblings in the future.

[switchaxe]

never ran into the clown fucker, can't help sorry

also WHAT

[fiddlestick]

That's alright, thanks Ash.

Well, he said they're shapeshifters, and that applies to their organs too. So...

[switchaxe]

why

why are they like this

why did this come up?!

[fiddlestick]

[Elliot could tell Ash about the gossip chat, but no. He decides he rather not let the son in on that knowledge of his adult space.

So instead he decides to tease Ash.]

Eheh, well when you reach a certain age, kids become all you talk about! Maybe all my gushing about you made Venti feel the tugs of the maternal instinct.

[switchaxe]

bullshit you talk about me that much

[fiddlestick]

Hehe, well I do talk about you sometimes!

But no, the truth is a long story. You know when you talk to a bunch of friends and the topic starts to wander to weird places? It's like that.

[switchaxe]

gotcha

still cursed as fuck though

[fiddlestick]

Hehe, sure is.

Speaking of cursed though, how goes the island vacation? Are you and Fugo having fun? Getting along okay with Ardyn?

[switchaxe]

not gonna lie we've been avoiding him. he's fuckin' weird okay and the other guy we're with ain't any better.

[fiddlestick]

Yeah, I ... can't say that's an unfair assessment. Ardyn's got his quirks.

Who's the other guy?

[switchaxe]

some dude named Edward. jumps off roofs, refuses to use slingshots

[fiddlestick]

Oh, I know Edward!

He's not a bad guy. But if he offers you a drink, DO NOT TAKE IT.

[switchaxe]

why, is he a poisoner?

[This is extremely fair. Jusis does have to take a moment to think about that first question, though.]

Delightful. I can only hope the child doesn't inherit Zhongli's financial blindness.

[Let's be honest, though, he'd love to have a little sibling.]

As for this Douman... I've seen his post, though I have yet to respond to him. I don't recall him as clearly as I would like, and that makes me more distrustful of him and his intentions. It's possible that he didn't leave a lasting impression, but I find it highly unlikely given his personality and way of speaking.

In short, he's hiding something. Don't let your guard down around him.

1/2

[fiddlestick]

Haha, well even if they do, they'd have big brother Jusis to teach them money sense and nurture away that nature.

[Yeah, Elliot knows full well Jusis would dote on any kid that enters this family for any reason]

2/2

[fiddlestick]

[But now on more serious matters]

You don't recall him well?

Yeah... I was worried you'd say something like that, you're usually pretty good at remembering people. Ardyn and Husk are talking to him like he didn't leave an impression on them either. And Husk has opinions about everyone.

[Usually negative ones, but opinions!!]

Something's up for sure.

[noblerise]

[It's true, he'd be a doting older brother. He doesn't want to be exactly the same as Rufus, but... he does want to take some of the positive aspects of how he'd been treated and excise the manipulation from it.

However, it's a serious matter that needs to be discussed right now. So he will leave those comments for later.]

Husk and Ardyn normally have sharp memories despite what they want you to think. However, there's one person that I will need to ask to make absolutely certain. Zhongli is the only one I know of with a perfect memory. If even he doesn't remember this monk clearly, then we will have irrefutable confirmation that something is tampering with our memories.

This is only the beginning of things to come, I'm certain of that much.

[fiddlestick]

That's a good idea. Let me know what Zhongli says. More and more I'm getting a bad feeling about this.

Though, we should probably just keep these suspicions between us for awhile. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little worried about some of our team jumping the gun if the red flags got pointed out.

[LOOKING AT YOU BLADE]

[noblerise]

[Jusis is already calling Zhongli from his laptop to get an answer to this question.]

I'll have an answer shortly.

Quite frankly, I agree. Even without a certain blacksmith getting into trouble again, I think that there's a reason that he's being hidden from our memories. Not to mention with the investigation currently on going, there's very little anyone can do about it right now.

[fiddlestick]

A storm's coming, in other words.

Good thing Rean's studying abroad in Japan. He should be safe there.

[noblerise]

Exactly. All we can do is brace for impact.

I agree with that. From the pictures he sent last night, it looks like he's having a great time there.

[fiddlestick]

Yeah, he looks so happy in the photos. I don't want to ruin that for him, he worries so easily about things.

House is quiet without him and Ash though.

[noblerise]

My thoughts exactly.

I don't doubt that. I'll try to visit more often, then.

Ah, also, I just got hold of Zhongli. He says he doesn't remember this monk clearly, either.

[fiddlestick]

Aha, only if you have time! I know you're busy.

[Ah.]

Well, I guess that settles it. Something's being done to hide him from your memories.
