Yeah! He seems really smart and driven, and those are good things to be!

But as exciting as getting caught up in a project can be sometimes, it's important to to take care of yourself too, and know that people are waiting for you to come back down to Earth. And sometimes people like that need a reminder.

[ Like being yelled at by a literal god over the span of months until they snap out of it. It's fine!! It's fine. ]

If you're there to help him with that, though, I'm sure he'll be fine! It sounds like you both care about each other a lot.

yeah we really do
i'll do my best to help him out with that

um
this is a pretty personal question but uh
it sounds like you know a lot about this, y'know?

[ There's another longer-than-usual pause before Orpheus responds. ]

I'm not as smart as Varian, but I get really distracted really easily sometimes and it's caused problems before. Big ones. I'm trying to be better.

[ It's kind of too little too late, at least when it comes to Eurydice, but, well. ]

But it does help a lot to have people who can tell you to stop doing what you're doing and pay attention, and I have that here, and I'm glad it sounds like Varian does too.

[Fern is half expecting not to even get an answer.]

you mean like with your music?

[Unless Orpheus has some other hobby he's utterly amazing at, it wouldn't surprise Fern.]

he definitely does
and hey, if you ever need another person to tell you to pay attention, i can do it for you too

Yes. Usually with composing something new, but sometimes trying to figure out what makes someone else's song work.

[ Or kind of both, in the case of The One That Ruined His Marriage. ]

Thanks, though! I appreciate that. I guess if you notice you haven't seen me around my usual spots in a few days it might be a good idea to check up on me. I've been less bad about things since coming here, but it might still happen every now and then.

yeah, that tracks

i can do that! i'm getting practice with Varian so i might not even be terrible at it

[ It sure does. ]

Right! And if I'm ever being really stubborn about it, just remind me of this conversation.

[ And, in doing so, remind him of the 'big problems' he caused last time. Orpheus doesn't think Fern would be blunt enough to do so if he knew the context, but that's why he's being roundabout about it. ]

Anyway, is there anything else you wanted to know?

can do, dude

[He's going to try his best here!!]

um no
this is has really been helpful
thanks

Good, I'm glad! I'm always happy to help. Let me know if you ever need anything else, okay?

ok, will do
