Today's writing session yielded the dreaded dinner scene [tm] mostly complete. Mostly, because tipsy!Subaru is

1. unaware of being drunk,
   
2. rather stubborn to begin with,
   
3. dealing with Seishiro (and still has to survive that, despite acting not in his best interest), and
   
4. unfortunately the POV-character, because author!mind insists (despite not having the escuse of being drunk).

So it is entirely possible that the subsequent review sessions on paper may change things again. Also, I'm still debating if I have to describe the way back to the hotel directly, or if it works better as part of waking up the next day.

Anyways, with that scene done, "Business As Usual chapter 0: On Vacation" consists now of 2525 words in contiuous text in 11 pt font on 6 A4 pages (including the title page and a page of fancily formatted "vacation leave applications", but excluding the single footnote about the annexation).

The excerpt of today's session is thus reworked from the last one:

Determinedly, Subaru reached out, pulled Seishiro's hand over and traced the protection spell with a slightly unsteady fingertip in red glowing kanji across Seishiro's wrist. There, that was better, he decided, nodding emphatically at himself, much better.

Seishiro signaled the waiter for the bill.
