[Erin was here, somewhat distant. She can hear her own acquaintances and people jeer at her, including her family. It's...well, it's rough, really, but there are a few circumstances that make the impact be dampened on her. Still, she's distant, thinking about it. Hearing Alfyn come makes her sigh]

Yeah. You probably noticed but it's become a teary circus around here--

[And then she turns her head to see Alfyn, and something in her tells her someone isn't 100% at his best]

Let me guess, you're here because you wanted a breather from whatever the tea caused.

[It's not that she's lacking in sympathy, it just frustrates her]
