[He takes a grape with a little hum of acknowledgment, since it's a kind thing for Namazuo to do (both offering food and offering reassurance, that is.) It would be nice if he could agree with as much confidence as he'd like to, but the vague response will have to be enough for now.

As for contacting Ardeo:]

I promised to bring him lots of sparkly things, so I could write him a letter the next time I go to visit. I dunno if he'll be able to respond, but it'll be worth a shot, yeah?

[Little does he know Ardeo will appear to say hi BUT WHATEVER.]
