"By all means, do tell. I've had more than enough of her senseless foolishness for a decade. I've already had to put up with one simpleton, I don't want another." Lorelei wasn't listening as she was playing tea party with Vicyeth and was trying the 'cake'. Her face froze as the taste kicked in, but instead of spitting it out like a normal person she continued chewing making the glue cake even more sticky in consistency. It was disgusting. This didn't surprise Gerard at all. It was a wonder how she had managed to not get caught by fishers or die from other circumstances. There were always the outliers who evaded the course of natural selection. This was probably why folly hadn't been completely weeded out of the gene pool. Gerard watched, deadpan as ever as the two fools conducted a tea party madder than a hatter's. He was absolutely done with this farce. 

"Apologies for my reaction earlier. For a moment I nearly mistook you for a doppelganger of that blonde airhead over there." Pointing in the picnic cloth's direction, the corner of his mouth twitched in disdain. So far less than an hour had passed since the start of this series of unfortunate events and his headache wasn't letting up. What felt like an eternity in reality had only been about forty-five minutes.

"…I see." He wasn't too happy about the latter half of the elven woman's explanation on how to get Vicyeth to listen. Namely, the part that detailed why the gibbering fool was so insistent on tailing him whenever they met. If his memory served correctly, he did almost get her killed back in those ruins when he told her to go first. She had managed to come out unscathed out of sheer, dumb, luck but instead of shying away this cemented the belief in her head that they were 'friends'. Just following that line of thinking made him shudder. Too often people underestimated the danger of being associated with a fool. "So that would explain why that finned fool flies at me every time we cross paths. I seriously doubt I'd be able to ever fully acclimate to that level of idiocy however. At least her singing doesn't make ears bleed."

Gerard gave a huff in exasperation, and ran his fingers through his hair in annoyance. Lorelei was still eating, this time actually food instead of that sticky monstrosity covered in sprinkles with wild abandon. The manatee which was partially beached gave him a goofy look at which he frowned, and narrowed his eyes. Whispering to Sylvia, he said to her while keeping an eye on the other two: "I've about had it for today. I'll be leaving those two…simpletons in your care for now. Any longer and my head'll likely split open." He then discreetly entered the lake whilst fully clothed, and sank below the surface to swim to the Nyella Ocean. Ahh, peace at last. The silence of the water was like soothing balm on a sunburn. And he had left just in the nick of time too, as Lorelei had started her duet from before wanting to give the world an encore of what she and Vicyeth had done.
