Ven was having a good day. The sun was shinning, the birds were singing, and it felt like the world was smiling upon him. Maybe it was him, maybe it was some divine force, whatever it may be, Ven was happy and carefree. Well, more so than usual, which could be either really good or really bad. Good because the the feeling should theoretically pacify him of his more random acts of shenanigans, and bad because on the chance it doesn't, it could only mean he is plotting something. Obviously.

Regardless, Ven was on his way to visit Archie.

Up the path, to his dingy little shop, open the door, and - HEY! Eteri was here!

Wait what did Archie just say to her?

Sex? What about sex? He doesn't recall having sex. He doesn't recall having sex ever? Ven started to panic.

Did someone erase his memory? Oh gods-

"I'm too young to be a dad! Archie help me!"

Archie looked away from Eteri. "Ven?"

"ARCHIE! This is serious! I can't be a father? Have you seen me? I'm not fatherly material! Oh god, how can this be happening?"

"Well-"

"I know how Archie! I have several siblings! I'm not an idiot!"

Archie grunted, now annoyed. "Oh for the love of- You're not a father! Probably."

"Probably?!? You're not helping!"

"Look, I've been around a long time, and know a thing or two about these sorts of thing. Are you using protection?"

"I don't know!"

"I- What?"

"I don't know! I don't remember having sex!"

Archie stared at him in shock.

"Archie?!? Don't go silent on me!"

"..."

"Archie?!?"

"..."

"ARC-"

"I heard you! What do you mean you don't remember?"

"I mean that I don't remember having sex with Eteri! I have a fantastic memory! How can I not remember? Magic I say! Bad magic on my mind!"

Archie blinked, then sighed, buried his head in his hands. "Ven... A thought came to me, and I hope I am wrong. Do you think you had sex with her?"

"No, but that is obviously the foul magic!"

"...Have you had sex with anyone before!"

"That I can recall? No! But again-"

"Ven, shut up!"

Surprisingly, he did, though. Archie looked up.

"Ven. You're an idiot. There is no magic, you are over reacting. There is no flaws in your memory."

"But-"

"But nothing! Now sit down next to Eteri! Since you overreact and she wasn't listening, I'll repeat what I was saying in hopes that one of you can get it through your thick skulls. Now shut up and listen."

Ven paused, calming down slightly, and took a seat. He glanced a look at Eteri, and gave a genuine smile, happy to see her despite the relatively awkward scene that just happened. Archie then started to speak, going into lecture mode.

Ugh.

He looked at Eteri again, and mouthed to her when Archie wasn't directly looking at them, Hey, want to ditch this?
