Yuji and Megumi have never really had close friends, or any honestly. So, they don't really know what friends do. Yuji decides that if spending some time with Megumi is good, more must be better and drags the other boy around to accompany him in literally everything. Megumi is pretty sure this is not how friends normally act, but since he has no way to verify this —lacking prior experience and all— he (reluctantly) goes along with it.

The thing about the argument that the sword makes Laudna uncomfortable is that it's valid if it does, but if you've been in any sort of organization that attempts to have an emotionally open dialogue in making decisions, and especially if you've been in any sort of leadership position within it, you will almost certainly encounter people who suddenly become uncomfortable when, as the meme goes, we are not about them. You encounter people who suddenly express discomfort - which should ideally be brought up early in the conversation since that alone may be a reason to blackball a decision - when multiple other arguments haven't worked (and during the ensuing argument this episode, you can easily watch Orym stick to the same exact story he's been saying for 50+ episodes and that he wants to reclaim this sword and use it to kill Ludinus while Laudna throws out multiple arguments, switching from one to the other as the rest of the party slowly realizes the sword isn't cursed and that this is Delilah's influence). You see this in internet spaces as well; people who do not draw a line between "trigger" and "squick" or "discomfort" and "dislike" even though that line very much exists.
Obviously you do have to still listen, because there are plenty of valid reasons to change a decision because someone involved is uncomfortable; but even a legitimately uncomfortable person does not automatically outweigh the needs of everyone else and you cannot please everyone at once. These decisions must be made contextually because otherwise "I'm uncomfortable with this" becomes a magic Uno Reverse card to hold the group decisions hostage. It's a factor, but ultimately, even if Delilah were in no way involved, if Laudna's the only person uncomfortable and this also means a lot to Orym, the solution is likely going to be either "keep it out of sight" or "give it to a member of the Accord". And yeah, as Imogen points out, if Laudna's genuinely uncomfortable with Orym having a sword with a dark history, absorbing it herself really undercuts that point.

Today my ardent hope is to finish filling this bobbin
My goal is to attempt to get my handspun in some local shops and TDF is a great time to test my mettle at the wheel.
Has anyone managed to get their handspun in stores? How did it go for you?

While there’s no shipping in the fic I’m currently writing itself, I’ve been considering a series of oneshots / full-on sequel that explores the original threat of this post.
Grovyle won’t take the news well.

i think, despite what he tells himself, jj would love a little lululemon kook girlfriend.
she's dressed in pretty colors, always wearing 2.5" shorts that jj appreciates, and athletic tee shirts. she probably does something like pilates, which jj truly doesn't believe is real until he feels how strong her core is.
she's usually seen in flare leggings and ugg slippers at night, wearing one of his flannel buttons ups over a sheer bra whenever he comes to visit. she's always complaining about how roughly he treats her clothing, glaring at him whenever he threatens to rip her la perla panties, reminding him that it's expensive but not in that stuck up kook way. she says it in the way that tells him that she cares about the things she buys, which is a step above kooks who just spend money each time they blink. and she's always smacking his shoulder whenever he makes fun of her for caring, humming whenever jj tells her he'll make it up to her, even though they know that's financially impossible.
he refuses to accept any gift she buys him, especially whenever it's a god awful pair of lululemon joggers. but there comes a time where he reluctantly accepts a shirt from her, and the pogues make fun of him relentlessly. even sarah joins in. but it's from his girl so he just shrugs them off and takes a swig from his beer.
