I had lunch with Galen today. Things were... AWKWARD. I am not the most adequate social expert already, and our... shared connection with Hephaestus has made things a bit more uncomfortable than usual. Galen is beyond stressed about the goings-on with the Pyroflow generator and their communications. I suggested Galen spend some time in the countryside and away from the front. He may have taken it... personally. VERY personally. He probably thinks I am trying to get rid of him. I give Hephaestus trouble about how finicky he is with his wording choices, but I am likely going to spend the rest of the day thinking about how that conversation could've gone better...
