[As the feed turns on, an inside of the room can be seen. There’s not much worth noting here, except for, maybe, the giant sword lying somewhere on the floor, close to the wall.

Sitting nearby the said sword, and right next to the wall is Ruca. He's gaze is distant and he seems to be deep in thoughts. A frown forms on his forehead and his eyes

[adreamminealone]

Huh?

[blinks.]

[Taps a finger against the microphone to get Ruca's attention without startling him.]

...Ruca? Your communicator's on. I should have mentioned this earlier, but they tend to switch on by themselves sometimes.

[His smile fades to be replaced by a look of concern.]

...Are you alright? You look―[...]―tired.

[There's a quick, almost habitual answer:] I-I'm okay, r-really. [Which is an obvious lie.]

...I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to worry you.

Smooth.

[adreamminealone]

[blink.]

...Excuse me?

[promisedlotus]

Leaving the PDA out like that.

[adreamminealone]

I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...

[theloneheir]

We've all been through it. You'll be fine.

[adreamminealone]

[Quick reply!]

O-of course! I'm sure I will!

[theloneheir]

You'll get used to being away eventually.

[adreamminealone]

"Get used to"... I... I wonder if it's possible for me to get used to this place...
