[Grant... laughs, weakly, the kind of laugh that's only half amusement at most, and the rest is pained understanding.]
Yeah, he... he seems good at that. But, [Before Dedue changes his mind and bolts,] He should be okay for a while, and he's not totally unattended. Dimitri may make some... questionable decisions, but that doesn't mean you can't afford to step away from him and relax sometimes.
[He isn't unattended at the moment, though Claude is currently a very tiny spider-like creature, and Grant is here, as is Dedue. That means that there are several fewer voices of reason around Dimitri for the time being, and that's... a non-ideal situation.]
[Step away from him and relax. Dedue has not done such a thing since he and His Highness met all of those years ago, and it's a very difficult thing to start doing now.]
I think that we should order those drinks now.
[Before he gets it into his head to run back to Dimitri.]
[As soon as the bartender isn't busy with something else, Grant orders a beer, and a couple plates of snacks - which he makes sure to ask Dedue for opinions on, making it very clear that those are for him, too. They may be here to get drunk, but best to still be responsible about it.]
