[he nods, understanding. kind of sucks to know that, but there's literally nothing he can do in the meantime. none of them will know until nanu goes back and... as he says, whatever happens happens.]

No, [he says flatly.] After shit like that, you just-- don't get okay.

[ulaulakahuna]

No. But it can get better.

[The fact that this is Nanu saying so, completely seriously and with genuine care toward Archie might make it seem like he's been replaced by a pod person. But, no. He means it.]

Hey. If a wretch like me can get back to basic functionality, I think your chances are good.

[Okay, that one was a joke...but still for Archie's benefit.]

[broceanic]

[the joke works-- he can't help but smile a little.]

Yeah. Guess so. I'll just have to reflect on it a bit more when its not... ah... [he frowns, then glances over at the big town hall clock in view.] Hey!

[he grins at nanu.]

Sixty-nine hours! Nice! [anyway:] Uh-- thanks, though. I think some cafés are gonna be opening for the day soon if you wanna hit 'em up.

[nanu pinches the bridge of his nose and goes quiet for like a solid minute and a half]

...Yeah, alright. But you're paying.
