[Here is Japan-- maybe a little tired, but he certainly appears better than the last couple of times you might have seen him. From the background, you might guess he's inside a house somewhere-- that's right. Anyone staying with him or knowing where he's living in Dissimulo can drop in with an action tag, but anyway, he just has a quick message

[The sound of a hammer hitting steel can be heard on the other end, but China is nowhere in sight. It seems he has turned on the device by accident since all that can be seen is the ceiling of the house he's staying in. The hammering noise continues.]

[Spotting that is just extra confirmation of where China would be. After answering a few replies, he grabs his things and moves for the door. Once he arrives at China's house, which he probably found out through someone else, he just knocks.]

[gochuugoku]

[The hammering stops and footsteps can be heard behind the door. China does not open the door, however, because he's not ready for more people to know about his current condition. A raspy voice comes from the other side.]

Who is it?

[action]

[asideglance]

China-san... I have some things I must mention.

Ah, I left my sword at home, if that helps.

[action]

[gochuugoku]

[The door remains closed and it goes very quiet for a moment before the raspy voice is heard again.]

What would they be, aru?

[action]

[asideglance]

[Japan stares at the door for a good moment before sighing. Right, of course... He supposed... it didn't matter. As long as he listened.]

I am leaving the city with Seifer later this week. [He knows he's never mentioned that he knew Seifer-- but he hoped that sentence would be clear. Them together. His name without any honorifics...]

[action]

[gochuugoku]

And how do you plan on getting there?

[He doesn't say anything about Seifer. He'd rather not think about it.]

[action]

[asideglance]

That does not matter. What I am saying is that it is dangerous here. If anything is needed, see Kresnik-taichou. ...The doctor here is strange, but I do not expect China-san to heed my warnings.

[action]

[gochuugoku]

Seifer told me that the doctor called Weiss is strange too, but I must seek out the help of a doctor soon, aru.

[There's a pause. It still hurt to breathe deeply.]

Also, I can see that there are many monsters and wild animals here, but I prefer this place over Discedo. [For personal reasons, such as it reminded him of the times before industrialization and when his country had much open space.]

[action]

[asideglance]

...Perhaps you should speak with Sweden-san.

[he takes a step back from the door.]

I see that you have your own weapon now, but there may be more cougars with Seifer and I gone. [is that his ego or the truth, you'll never know]

[action]

[gochuugoku]

Does he have knowledge of the new medical techniques? [Perhaps he could ask for the other to teach him.]

Even more reason for me to stay with the others, aru.

[action]

[asideglance]

...I am not sure. [He just said Sweden cause he's trustworthy...]

[action]

[gochuugoku]

Is there anything else you have to say, aru?

[action]

[asideglance]

[...I apologize...]

. . . No. That is all.

[action]

[gochuugoku]

Alright.

[Within a few minutes, the hammering against steel starts again. However, it soon stops. It hurts when China puts enough energy into his voice to get it across the room.]

What happened to Hungary anyway? Did you and Kresnik find any trace of her when you went to Discedo? [He did ask Kresnik to seek Hungary before he left.]

[action]

[asideglance]

Her frequency went missing. She returned home.
