"I'm sure we can make arrangements for that, Ms Nefer," He responded smoothly, with a nod.

"I know that many of Fontaine's engineers are willing to share knowledge with those who are eager to learn."

"I am glad you think so. The people of Fontaine have certainly excelled in technology," He nodded approvingly.

"Oh? Go ahead, I would like to hear it."

Neuvillette arranged his documents to neaten the desk. Lavender gaze was fixed on Nefer calmly.

"Ah, yes. Greetings, Ms Nefer. How may the Court of Fontaine assist you?"

He stood to face her, offering the seat before his desk.

"Of course. How may I help you?"

"Ah, a guest? Come in," His tone was soft and polite as ever as he placed down the documents.

Neuvillette was standing tall. Unharmed, unruffled.

"It is no problem."

"There's no harm in other beverages, but everything in moderation is ideal," He nodded sagely.

"Personally, I am unable to handle stronger drinks... even coffee sets my heart racing more than I enjoy."

Neuvillette nodded.

"Hydration is important," He stated softly. "The weather may be changing, but it's still important even in the cooler months."
