realistically . . . he doesn't mind it all too much , but it's fun to poke fun at it . bringing a fist up to his mouth , fake coughing as he leans closer to the bar . “ . . . mr. bartender ? eyes are up here . ”

hm . . . definitely not . he has no incentive to convince him of it , but . . . he's aware it happened . arms crossed under his chest for no reason at all .

well , for starters . . . he can't really wear anything to hide his , chest , not . . . tits . he's seen his eyes wander a few times here and there, don't lie now .

it's . . . a little difficult to keep a conversation going when the attention's going somewhere else . surely he understands ?

If he says so. Correct. Came here to . . . spend some time away from work. The grandmaster? Well, since he's offering, why not?

. . . admiration? he's aware of what admiration looks like, and . . . seems a little different. looking— hm? didn't quite get that last part, but— he'll take the compliment.

❔ He'd think so as well, but . . . the locals don't lie. And neither do their faces. 💧

. . . Is there something wrong with his clothes? He JUST got here and he's already felt a couple stares his way. 💧

Huh. City of Freedom is prettier than he thought it'd be. Very . . . windy.

He's got no idea how the weather works over there. 😮‍💨

. . . Is there anything in particular he should pack? 💧

Maybe so. He has been needing a break from . . . work, anyway. Seems like a relatively peaceful place.

. . . Right. Perhaps he should schedule another trip to the city earlier than on Windblume, then? Just to get to know the place first.

Wine, huh? Alright then . . . a glass wouldn't hurt. . . . Mm? He's been exchanging letters with him, if that's what he means. Helps having someone who knows the city like the back of his hand.

If that's how he wants to interpret it . . . sure. 🌀 . . . Big on drinking over there, huh? He isn't too frequent of a drinker himself, but . . . do as the locals do, right?

Fine, fine, he'll . . . try to loosen up. Not too easy when he's the odd one out of the bunch in the City of Freedom. But, he'll make an attempt.
