"Thank you for your kindness to him." Artemy says, genuinely, "I know he can be, a pain, and he seems to be more erratic than usual, but, you're right. He needs kindness now. More than ever. I'm glad you understand him."

He really does sound relieved. Like there's been a weight lifted off of Artemy's shoulders.

"I appreciate you inviting him, truly, I do- I will have to come, simply just to keep an eye on him." He pauses for a minute, looking slightly uncomfortable, before continuing, "I do admit, I have never been to a fancy to do, hopefully i will not stick out too much."
