[ And this is Jon appearing on your network feed, actually outside of his library and in all likelihood enjoying a nice evening at the open air. ]

Good evening, Temba.

I... I mean. We don't need more apologies, and yet I feel like I owe quite a few. Things happened. I hurt people both physically and verbally and I'm sorry, but...

...it happened.

[ He falls silent, eyes dropping for a moment. Then he clears his throat and looks back up and over his screen. ]

The beach here is gorgeous. Have been here a few times now and- I think it would be nice to- To come together. Here. Have a nice day and enjoy- uh, well. The beach. The water. Find some time to just... Talk. Maybe... Have fun...

I... I will organize something.

[ Is he awkwardly announcing a beach party? Oh, you bet he is. ]

Quite likely. Though the shallow part of the ocean should be safe. I'd be more careful about the lake in the city. It's a lot deeper than it looks and we did encounter some unpleasant company when we dove down there.

[ It also gets very dark down there.

Jon shrugs, not overly wounded by that rejection. Cobb can still just dip his feet in as well. ]

But fair enough. Everyone should stay where they feel most comfortable.

I try not to think about the lake that much.

[ A huge body of water in the middle of their town with dangerous things is not a pleasant thought for him. He's still adjusting to the wall of water in Cayde's bar. ]

I'm real comfortable on sand. And cookin'. I'll make sure everyone's got good food.

[beholding_archivist]

Very well. I will trust you with the food.

[ And let him observe the others having harmless fun in the ocean for the time being. ]

Is there anything I can bring to make you comfortable on your post?

[heypartner]

Ah, maybe something to sit on but I'm not worried. Used to long days on my feet.

[ An open fire here would be a lot more comfortable than a fire on Tatooine under the twin suns. Cobb would manage. ]

Maybe a cold drink now and then. Aren't you going to have fun? Go for a swim?

[beholding_archivist]

Hopefully. But that doesn't mean I can't try and make sure everyone else is enjoying themselves as well.

[ A lot of what happened has made them all feel less like a group working together somehow. ]

[heypartner]

Good luck, friend. I'm just a message away if you need help.
