Seeing that Meirin’s unusually deep in thought, instead of chatting with the group while they have lunch like she usually does, Saki is the one to ask, “Is something on your mind?”

“I was just thinking about when we went to Uncommon Time! When we saw Arietta’s memories. I didn’t think it was a great time to bring it up then, but...” Meirin pauses. “Wasn’t Altair really super hot?”

Aubrey nearly chokes on their drink, and while Alto goes to make sure they’re okay, Saki laughs lightly and replies, “He was. At the time I couldn’t tell if I was just seeing him through the filter of Arietta’s perception of him, or if he really was that good looking.”

“He was really sweet in person, too, when I met him,” says Alto, once she’s confirmed Aubrey isn’t choking to death. “And definitely handsome. I didn’t say anything back then because it would be weird, but...”

“It’s still weird,” says Aubrey, with all the firmness they can muster.

“If you’re going to talk about this kind of stuff, I’m going to go back to the kitchen,” says Teagan. A bit more reluctantly, she adds, “You can come with, Aubrey.”

“Oh! Really?” They hop up from their chair.

“The best thing you can do is just ignore them when they start going about sex stuff,” she says. “...It’d be easier trying to teach you to cook safely than trying to get them to stop talking about sex.”
