Lady Friday, good afternoon. I've brought you something.
[It's a tart, wrapped in a nice napkin from the buffet so that it stays fresh. This is more at Mizuki's behest than anything because Ebalon is pretty sure that Friday can't eat. Can Friday eat?]
[it's not laughter she is in physical pain at the mere idea of this conservation happening. BUT IF SHE CAN PREVENT A MURDER...]
That usually just makes the person more upset! Much more upset! [pause] Well, when someone's upset, you should try to be extra nice to them! Do things they like to do, try to keep their mind off things... Let them know you're thinking about them! Be supportive!
...Right. Of course. I had at least some of that down, it seems.
[Ebalon is a dumb bitch, actually.]
Ah, I may or may not have gotten a bit [a lot] irate when Mizuki told me what happened. With Lady Rafaela gone, I have no one else to speak to on the matter — I'll spare you the gossip. Ideally, I'd like to show him that I care despite the small argument we may or may not have gotten into after this occured. You don't... happen to have suggestions on any of this, do you?
["the other insane murderer is gone so i'm talking to you" how is she even supposed to take that]
Well, one little argument isn't going to be enough to break up a relationship! Hm... Maybe you should get him a little gift, to show that you're sorry! I'd say flowers, but, um... Fake ones might send the wrong... message...
[It's a compliment that he's opening up at all! Kind of! Friday is a therapist now :)]
Yes, but — [sigh.] Let's just say that I can sense his duress from time to time, and I certainly lent to it. ...this ship doesn't have anywhere that stocks real flowers, does it? What of the jewelry store? If I ask you permission for some light shopping there...
[Since he knows nothing, er, leaves that shop. Unless something changed, anyway.]
People the Captain liked best! Or hated! That's usually the same thing, really! I try to forget who they were because otherwise it starts getting too sad and feeling emotions makes me uncomfortable!
Ah, I can resonate with that one. Until Mizuki, I didn't much care for...
...
Most things. [The jellyfish awakened emotions.] That aside, if I may? The boat could use more gift shops if the jewelry store is out. I realise we just got one shop, but perhaps you could suggest to the Captain that adding more would be beneficial?
[You know, because Ebalon's uncreative and can't make gifts and he's not buying Mizuki a "sorry for kind of being a dick" shirt from the Tommy fucking Bahama.]

You can thank Mizuki for the idea to share the dessert with you. I was genuinely going to eat the entire box myself.
[Awkward look, and then:]
I... had a question for you, actually.
no subject
Of course! I'll try to answer the best that I can!

How much... [mphhggghh words hard] ...how much do you know about romance?

audibly strained] Is there, um... something specific you'd... like to know...?
no subject
Ah... When someone is upset and you're worried about him, what do you do? I'm not very comforting.
...
Should I kill the person who made him upset? [NO—]

no subject
...I do not believe so, no, but I recall Lady Jenny had said something similar. Very well. I don't believe souls are a good gift for anybody anyhow.
...
Whose souls are those, perchance?
