It'd be nice if something like this happened, but instead we were all playing silly games instead. Then after all is said and done, we get sent back...with our lives and sanity in tact.
[ He's imagined something like that so many times now because he's got one hell of a imagination. That being so, though... ]
But even if that's not the case, and even if it's been hard because things are like this... I don't regret learning about you and some of the others.
If only our whole experience coulda been drinkin' and partyin' like last week.
[Even after all of this, he's still going to have fond memories of that night.]
But I'm right there with ya. Y'all are one of a kind, that's fer sure. [Some for better reasons than others, obviously...] I probably wouldn't have even gotten ta know Yeager and Alexei that well if I wasn't stuck here with 'em. Our lives are pretty damn separate all things considered.
[With Alexei being from the Empire and Yeager just being his elusive, mysterious self...]
[Huaisang should've gone all the way!! Well, at least Raven has a goal now.]
Sorta? Alexei's with the Empire, while me n' Yeager are with the Guilds. That's two totally separate worlds fer reasons Alexei explained a while back. Yeager's guild is part of the Union, but I'd consider it loosely. He doesn't make many appearances at Union meetings, so I hadn't really interacted with him much before this place.
[As for the second question, he gives a big shrug.]
Dunno if you'd say "good friends", but I've gotten ta know 'em better. Alexei, though... He's way too uptight fer my tastes. I can't see us becomin' friends.
Oh, I see. You're part of Altosk, right? And he said he was part of another guild entirely, yes. Though I hadn't known he didn't show up all that often; I imagine it's probably because he's busy.
[ Busy being Yeager and Regaey, among other things. But it's all good. ]
...I understand. He seems really serious. It makes me wonder if he's ever cracked a joke since he's gotten here.
Busy, yeah, and the Don's also not much of a fan of him. He's a pretty shady guy if ya only know about him through the rumors. And that's comin' from me, who has shadiness as a skill on his profile.
[Yeager is the king of shadiness!!]
As fer Alexei, I'm pretty sure that man doesn't have a single humorous bone in his body. He just drank through Suga tryin' ta make him tell a joke, back at truth or dare.
Aw, Huaisang... I'm mighty pleased ta hear that. I never understood the stigma, myself! I'm just some old man tryin' ta scoot along through life, ya know?
[Listen, it's fiiiine. They're not disaster men or anything, it's fine.
The last bit gets him to laugh too.]
That's right, just rely on ol' Raven ta bring the humor. It's one of the only things I'm good fer, really.

[ Dramatic, but brief and fond sigh. Looks like someone else had a blast.
That's the only time where he's gotten himself actually and actively close to drunk too. ]
...Is it because you guys are busy with other things? Also, does this mean you guys are now good friends with each other?

[ Huaisang thinks Raven is just fine. Yeager too.
Which is like probably citation needed and why things are bound to go fun in the future, but hey. ]
...He did? Yikes.
I think I'll just give up on jokes where he's concerned. I think you'd definitely be more reliable on that front.

[ He has to sneak in one tease here.
But, he is happy to cheer him up, though. ]
One of the only things? And here I thought you had at least a varying amount? Could it be, you're actually rather modest, Raven?
