Hi Edwin. I... wanted to ask you something. But. I hear John isn't doing well. He didn't answer my message. If you're busy helping him, that's understandable. But if you have time, I want to ask you something.
[He's doing a little better himself, with the port--a chance to see somewhere beautiful, the animals and the plants, though the ruins stir up the same strange aching in him that he had when they all got back to the Barge after the Narrenschiff.]
I- I don't think anyone's doing... great. But I have time.
We need someone we can trust to look after our animals during the wedding. We know you're good with them and they know you. We want all five to be there. Do you think you can handle them all outside of the cabin?
Really? That’s so cool! Well, that’ll make the other thing I want to ask you easier to manage concurrently with the animals. I was wondering if you’d be my best man.
Yeah! John showed me how. [It's only thanks to Arthur and Sheehan's wedding that Edwin has any idea what a 'best man' is, but it takes a few seconds for the request to parse itself in his head just the same.]
You... don't have to throw a party. That would probably just be... fraught. Instead, let's get together with a few friends and watch a movie or something. We can make lots of popcorn and put on something funny. Start off the feeling good train.
