[He breathes a sigh of relief at that. Okay, one less chance his coach will skin him alive for seeing someone that might recognize him.]

It's been alright. The team and I all entered the raffle as a joke after practice once - I haven't told any of them that I actually won, outside of Coach.

I didn't know you liked VR games.

[fluorite]

I bet they'll all be really jealous when they eventually find out~

[ Probably after the beta too, once the hype around the game has gotten even bigger. ]

This is my first one, actually. I thought I'd give it a try just to see what it was all about.

[gluttoning]

Are you figuring things out okay?

It took me a while my first time, and I still don't manage everything very well.

[The Mr. Jensen he knows is crazy smart, though, so he can't really imagine that he would be bad at much of anything.]

[fluorite]

I had a really hard time at first! But I think I'm starting to get the hang of it. There's a lot of timing that goes into spellcasting... who would have thought! :)

And I'm sure you're doing better than you think you are.

[gluttoning]

Oh you're a magic class. That suits you a lot.

Thanks. My older brother made it onto the beta too, so he's helping me play smarter. I don't always understand what he says, but he'll always find a way to make things work, so I trust him.

[fluorite]

Thanks! :)

I'm really happy to hear he's here with you. Are you having fun with him?

[gluttoning]

Yeah. He's still at home right now doing online courses through the same school I'm at, but video games are one of the things he really likes.

He doesn't get out much, so I try to play with him now that Booker and I are away from home.

[fluorite]

I'm glad you make a real effort to keep the two of you connected. He might not say it aloud, but those things do mean quite a bit.

[ They mean a lot to Fai, after all, so he'd be shocked if it didn't mean anything to Levi. ]

[gluttoning]

They're all important to me. I'm lucky I have a way I can keep talking to him, even if my other brothers are a lot busier.

I worry that he's getting really lonely. I know I can't fix that. But I want him to know he can count on me if he needs it.

[If Barrett could control anything, he'd make sure they could all stay together as long as possible. But life wasn't really that simple.]

Anyway, I didn't mean to distract you, Mr. Jensen. I won't let anyone know your name or anything, you've got my word.

Can we still meet next week? I got my last quiz in yesterday.

[fluorite]

I think making sure he knows that will be enough, at least for right now. :)

And you're not distracting me~

[ He also trusts Barrett not to give away any of his information. He's a good kid and Fai likes to think he's careful about this stuff. ]

Of course we can meet! What kind of results did you get?

[gluttoning]

[A suspiciously long pause.]

I'd rather not talk about it right now.

I'll bring it with, because I'm having a hard time understanding what I missed. It was a little better than last time. I think.

[But he still nearly failed, so he's not exactly over the moon about it.]

[fluorite]

If you think there was improvement, then there was.

[ Self measurement is important, Fai thinks. ]

We can take some extra time to go over it and whatever other assignments you have, if you like. No charge. :)

[gluttoning]

No charge??

Are you sure? I can work out extra cost if I need more time.

Can I get you coffee at least?

[fluorite]

I'll take the coffee!

Consider that your payment for going over. :)

[gluttoning]

Okay. :-)

I'll see you then. Have fun with the game, Mr. Jensen.

[fluorite]

I hope you have fun too, Barrett. Reach out to me if you ever need anything, alright?

[gluttoning]

Thanks. I will.

I'll introduce you to Levi sometime if you want, okay?

[fluorite]

I'd like that a lot! :)

[gluttoning]

Cool. :-) I'll get us together for a dungeon sometime.

See you later.

[fluorite]

I look forward to it! I'll even let my friend tag along with us too. ^_^

Have a good evening~
