totally understands him. Striking similar tragedy happened to his society a month ago as well, and netizens are furious about the ending. He offers Greg a drink.

"It won't be alright, mate, but let's drink to it?" He has something less intense for himself.

nods, taking the drink with a thankful smile. He reaches over to ruffle his nephew's hair. 'Someone the world just throws you a foul for no reason, eh?'

it when people like Arthur and Greg do that to him - it feels to him that he is recognised. He breaks into a timid smile and finds himself a seat next to his uncle. "You don't know what is messed up. It just

happens almost...randomly, kinda, and just contemplating might not be enough. S'just need to...deal with it?" He frowns and shrugs.

smiles sadly, 'I doubt it's just going to be dealt with. I think there will be a full blown investigation into why this was allowed to happen.'

"No, what I meant was that, umm, dealing with it means full investigation, but... it is difficult to prevent the same thing from happening again. It really just....happens, once in a

while." He still feels bad for the death of the little girl.

feels bad for the death of both of the children. He throws back his drink, ordering another one. 'Enough about that, tell me how you've been?'

still hasn't finished his drink yet. What a slow drinker. "I can rant about ten hours non-stop about government and politics, but I'm sure you've got stuff too so I shouldn't bring up mine. Hmm, overtime

working, the usual thing, chilling with Macau, watching movies non-stop, but other than that, I frankly think that I should hang out more often, like with you and Arthur and Matthew and yeah. How about you?"

has just been drinking a lot longer than Chris. He also may be drinking to forget. He is glad to see his nephew working hard but he can't help but agree_

_The man should take more time for himself. 'I am sure you don't want to hang out with your old uncle.'

"Oh?" Chris finally downs his last drop and proceeds to order more. "No no no, uncle you are cool. It should be really fun to hang with you. Unlike...the really really old guy. Hanging with him is just

impossible." He is referring to Wang Yao, of course.

laughs, before shaking his head. 'China? I think there is a lot you cab learn from him, ya know?' He sips his whisky, 'That man has seen so much...'

"Learning is one thing, but hanging out is another thing?" Chris just can't see himself around mister for more than an hour."Though it's true that his life is really too long, and it's not ending anytime soon."

shakes his head, 'You should respect your elders more.' He pauses thinking back, 'Plus, China is a good laugh after a couple of drinks. Arthur usually cries.'

pouts. He tries to respect elders, he usually does. But it isn't justified if he isn't being respected in return. Nevertheless, he does find it amusing to hear that from Greg. "I haven't seen Arthur cries

before - well he doesn't do that in front of me. Do you have kinda of video? I'm interested in watching it!"

shakes his head, 'Just get him talking about his former glory while drunk and he'll sob uncontrollably.'

"..." Now he remembers that. "Do you enjoy watching him sobbing, uncle? I mean, secretly enjoying, that kind of thing?"

doesn't deny or confirm that question. 'I haven't seen him cry in a while though.... I've kind of been busy. Have you spoken to him at all?'

To think of it - it might make him sad to see Arthur crying. "No, I haven't seen him around too... I assume he is also busy? More like, everyone is busy. I guess it's rare to meet you here too."

nods, 'I have been busy recently... Francis has been keeping me occupied.' He ducks his head, hand rubbing the back of his neck as he flushes. 'But if you ever need your favourite uncle just call, alright?'

chortles at the sight of his uncle flushing. Kinda like Yong Soo too. "We foreveralone kids will be fine occasionally getting stuck at home." He gives the elder a thumb up. "Will call. You got whatsapp?"

blanches at the foreign sounding word... 'Whatsthingy.... what?' He is definitely not keeping up with the kids....

"Eh?" Trying to make it less awkward, Chris keeps going. "It's a smartphone app for texting and stuff. Or you got LINE? Snapchat? Viber? Or just regular phone number?"

Looks a bit weirded out before pulling out a regular phone. He didn't bother with the smartphone crap. 'Aye. But I prefer actually speaking to people than texting.'

"Oh yeah, that's cool too," Chris should have remembered that not many current nations were following the trend in tech. He hands over his phone. "Here, you can type in your number."
