[Fortunately, Eustace understands and immediately nods.]

Agreed. And we should make contingencies in case something similar happens again.

[His expression darkens at the thought, but... If it happened once who's to say it won't again? Especially since he's already heard from more than one person that such "pranks" are common.]

You can go first.

[In the meantime, Valo is looking between them. It seems things have softened, but there's still some tension... And now Eustace has his business tone, one that Valo has come to recognize. So there's just a grumbled whine before he plops down with a huff. Maaaan are they really going to just stand there and keep talking about this?

Seeing and hearing this, Eustace looks down in some surprise... And chagrin.]

...Sorry, I guess Valo is bored.

[Another grumble from the otherwise quiet dog.]
