"Your favorite... most painful drinking buddy," Maelle says, a laugh in her voice. Getting drunk now and then is needed, she supposes. "Maybe Lune will want to get drunk with you when we get you to her. She can be your drunken contradiction."
"I would so love to get to know Lune when she's drunk better." She can't wait, honestly. Sounds like it could be a lot of fun. "And I think she needs to unwind with it, too."
"Yeah? Well, should you all decide to get drunk when we're back at the apartment, please keep the noise down. Some of us are respectable and try to sleep at a normal time," she jokes. More like the teenage girl has a bedtime she's typically made to adhere to so that she doesn't sleep in past noon.
They will most certainly be getting drunk at the apartment at least semi-regularly, but Sciel doesn't particularly feel like making that thought a guarantee just now.
"Oh, you need your beauty sleep, I completely understand," she says, and she pulls off Maelle a little just to look at her, a curve to her mouth despite her sad eyes. "We'll be responsible adults, I promise you."
"Responsible adults that didn't drain Esquie dry before we faced the Paintress," she says, and she hopes it's an unspoken rule that Gustave never hears about that.
"I'm still sad you missed Gustave getting sprayed," she says. Truly. "He's the better target, anyway. Less likely to get mad and less likely to use the elements on us."
She sways Sciel back and forth a little as she thinks.
"Maybe a sort of wild goose hunt?" She offers. Gustave does like finding out answers to things, solutions to problems. Engineers! Some of it has rubbed off on her, so she can only imagine he'd have fun but also go a little crazy trying to figure out their prank.
Somewhere in her mind is a little book of ideas, put together over the years, full of things that have worked and things that would be funny and things just waiting for the opportune moment. Wild goose hunts are rare amongst them –– a prank must be short, in Sciel’s opinion, so it does not wear out its welcome and veer into frustration -– but they do exist.
“Mmm, just tell him an extremely long meandering story, and make him listen to the whole thing,” she murmurs. “And then end it with a pun or some other silly joke.”

"That's why you're my favorite partner in crime."
So what if that centers on bullying Gustave?

“We can do better, I think. He’s clever, he needs to keep his mind sharp. Can’t think of what right now, though.”
