Sitting on the recieving area.
Dwayn energetically lead Diego to the seats.
Then he told Three to prepare tea and snacks.

The two are left alone after that.

Sitting while his legs are cross.
Drinking his tea.

"Diego, cheer up."
He said as his eyes are being misty due to the hot steam of tea.

Diego smiles and went to drink tea.
He felt his nerves are calming down.
"I did something awful,brother. I...I almsot forced Alan...to..." Diego looks away.

Dwayn lips twitching up.
He sighs to calm himself.
"Alan? He is too weak. You shouldn't force him to do something. If you need someone to accompany you, how about you call me?"

Diego's face flushed.
".....It's a disgracing thing....It is not something brother can help me."

Dwayn puts the tea down.
He tilts his head.
"What are you saying? Alan can accompany you but I can't?"

Diego shakes his head.
"I almost force him to have....intercourse."

"Pfft--Ehem." Dwayn shakes his head.
"What nonsense!"

"I....I am drunk."

"Even so...Can't you tell the difference between a man and a woman? Or are you fine with both?"

Diego looks down while Dwayn eyes are twinkling in amusement.

"I mistook him for Lady Emely."

"Oh? You must been really drunk if you mistook Alan for Lady Emely," Dwayn said.

Diego looks up.
"You can also tell?! I am just too drunk."

"I can tell." Dwayn said and take a bite in the cookie.
"This is sweet."

Diego smiles.
"Only you understand me. Father....he is so mad he hits me. Even though I told him I am just drunk and that I didn't mean to do it."

"Poor you. Does it hurts?" Dwayn asks.

Diego sighs.
"It's fine. I can endure this much."

"Oh. You are not at fault, you are just drunk."

"I know! But Alan is so mad at me. He even called me a sword!"

"I'm sure sword is not what he meant...But you should understand that if he has no strength to stop you last night....maybe you really have done the deed."

Diego looks away.

Dwayn plays with the tea cup.
Then he smiles.
"How about Lady Emely? Did you really?"

"No! The truth is...I haven't seen her alot lately."

"Oh? Maybe it is time to see her. Clarify the rumor and spend more time with her."

"But...Father told me to stay."
Diego said.

"When did you ever listen to Father? And you won't mess up anyway. You will just visit your fiancee."

"......but..."

"The rumor must been hard for Lady Emely to endure.
And you should tell her how you call her name when you are drunk women loves that."

"You are right. I should go to Lady Emely, thank you brother. For clearing my head!"

"Oh. That is not something I can do. You are the one who can only do it."

"No. Your words help me alot."

"I will do what I can do for you."



Three reenters the recieving area and replace the tea.
"You should drink this to neutralize the aphrodisiac in the tea."
Three said.

Dwayn smiles.
"That guy doesn't like people telling him he is wrong. Thinks all he does is pardonable and he is right and righteous. He doesn't think and let others think for himself. He will live a miserable life someday." Dwayn said as he drinks the new tea.

"Because of his actions?" Three asks.

Dwayn smiles.
"Because I will make it happen."
