Nah. Trust me, we've got it covered. If you don't trust me, trust Sorey and Mikleo. I'm sure they seem less shady than I do.
[ being a traveling merchant, rose has seen a lot of different people go through a lot of different things, but addiction hasn't been one of them, and, admittedly, she's never put much thought into it when nobody around her has ever struggled with casual drinking getting out of hand. not even zaveid, and he's had, like, literal thousands of years to build up an alcohol tolerance. rose can't relate to how they feel, even if she was aware of more than roxy's not-so-vague hints. she can do her best to be understanding, though.
that being said, talking to her new gal pal gave her a reminder that this extends past setting a good example didn't hurt. perhaps it's selfish, but rose is glad they met, regardless of the circumstances. ]
-- Oh! Wait! Hold on. Before I forget.
[ rose isn't oblivious to the slight tension, but she's also both nosy and curious, so she pipes up before dirk has the chance to leave. ]
There's this one girl I was texting with just earlier. Roxy. She made a point of insisting everything is locked up good, and however she tried to play it off, I got that she was serious about it. I mean, she said she was asking for a friend, but... Look. I got the message loud and clear, and I don't make a habit of breaking promises. Okay?
[ there's a point to this story, she swears she's going somewhere. ]
After that, though, we just kept on talking-- we got along super well, actually! I think we really clicked!
[ no, she's already rambling. look, she just likes roxy a lot, okay, she promised to teach rose how to be a rogue thief like her and everything! meeting her in person is on her to-do list. ]
So anyway, the entire reason you're hearing this at all is that I just remembered your name coming up. Just once, when we were talking about those goggles for Mikleo. Are you guys close or anything? Seriously, though, she's cool.
