[Unlike last time, the visit is both expected and appreciated. These days, Diluc is slightly less grumpy than usual to the benefit of everyone around him. When Ellis arrives, he greets him warmly (by Diluc standards) and invites him in. Here, have a glass of grape juice to accompany the clafoutis.]

...By the way, Ellis, a word of advice: mention what the purpose of your visit is in your letters. I assume you haven't come here simply to waste time.

[It's the most gentle of ribbings, more playful than anything. Still... tell him you're here for good reasons this time, Ellis.]
