Today is Wednesday.

Edmund starts work on Friday.

Bernard said he was to pick specials on his own.

He's fairly certain, having watched the other bartenders, that the specials ought to be somewhat original.

Which would be why Edmund has gone up to Bar and asked her a question quietly, and was not entirely surprised to get a very large book as an answer.

Also a pot of tea, because one can never go wrong with tea.

He takes his new acquisitions over to one of the couches, and makes himself comfortable.

It's a big book.

"I suppose it would... perhaps it's a sign that you should ask for help, with your helping?"

[creator_raven]

"Mostly, when reassurance is necessary, I stop talking."

He shrugs.

"Comforting I can do, however. To some extent."

[iustus_rex]

"It's a good place to start," Edmund points out.

[creator_raven]

Raven smiles wryly.

"It is usually where I finish, as well. It does not do to be twisty, when comforting people."

[iustus_rex]

"Well, no."

Edmund shrugs.

It would appear he's been thinking about what Raven said earlier.

"-- if you don't know where you're going, or when you're leaving, do you at least know who does?"

[creator_raven]

"Alanna of Trebond does, yes. I suspect it will be soon, perhaps tonight."

He shrugs.

"I will know, when they leave. Atreyu is going, as well."

[iustus_rex]

"Alanna?" Edmund blinks, and smiles.

"I'm not sure which of you I should tell is in good hands, then. I'm afraid I don't know an Atreyu, though."

[creator_raven]

"Possibly both of us. It is a comfort. As to Atreyu, I do not know him very well, either. We have spoken twice, I think--short conversations, as well. But he is very self-possessed, so."
