[Your smile is fooling no one, Dino. Lloyd's eyes widen slightly when he takes in his friend's condition.]

Dino? Are you all right?

[Then abruptly he switches tacks.]

Of course you can come over. You're welcome any time.

[chiavarone]

Thank you, Lloyd. [More earnest smile]

What should I bring?

[redcladidealist]

Only whatever you think you need. Genis and I have plenty of food. Although...

[A thoughtful pause.]

We don't have sake. I haven't figured out where you buy that stuff yet. You could bring that if you want.

[chiavarone]

Certainly. We have you covered there. [Weary laugh]

[samagawaru]

[Once he looked at his blackberry, he frowned. Even though Dino was putting on a smile, it was obvious that something was wrong.]

I am not staying somewhere, but if you want to go out for a drink or just sp-...spend time with each other. I can meet you.

[He kept the slight frown on his face. He wasn't used to comforting someone or even asking someone to hang out, but this guy seemed like he needed it.]

What is wrong, Dino-kun?

[chiavarone]

[No comfort necessary, my friend. Just a welcome distraction]

Eh? Then where are you staying now?

[Dino's turn to look concerned]

[samagawaru]

...

[He frowned a little.]

Where are you right now? I'll meet with you.

[Pushing off the topic.]

[chiavarone]

I'm at the onsen.

[Not letting this one go] Do you need somewhere to stay?

[chiavarone]

Ah, Shouichi. [Greets distractedly. It takes Dino a second, but he gets it. Yeah, that'd be awkward]

Sure, we can go somewhere else. I don't mind.

Maybe I can bring something back for Kurogane. [Dino looks sad, but this time for the sake of his friend. That must be the worst]

[chiavarone]

Oh, yes. Everything's fine.

[Puts on a smile and kind of realizing it probably looks as forced as it feels, Dino sighed, rubbing the back of his neck] Fay's gone. He left Somarium earlier.
