Hi, Mom.

I'm coming home.

*event: thou shalt not swear, mother, kagurazaka asuna, salute to the lost, shirou kamui, being strong for everyone now, negi springfield, numb, being a mother hen

Well, finding you was easier than I thought it'd be,

[Video] bloodseal_soul August 22 2009, 08:47:20 UTC

Did you need me, Bran?

[Video] the_marrok August 22 2009, 08:49:19 UTC

There was a worried sounding young lady looking for you. I was just offering her my services in the tracking wayward lads department.

[Video] bloodseal_soul August 22 2009, 08:52:11 UTC

[A moment while he checks the network, Bran. He gives a soft, almost sad little laugh.]

That would be my mother. She does look very young, doesn't she?

[Video] the_marrok August 22 2009, 09:01:28 UTC

Your mother? She does appear rather youthful.

[He almost asks it bluntly, but...]

Lads shouldn't stay out so late their mother's start asking after them. You strike me as a good kid, but you seem to have a roaming tendency.

[Video] bloodseal_soul August 22 2009, 09:10:05 UTC

There's a time difference between herself and me. Her last memory of me before she came here was when I was five years old, actually.

[He goes almost unnaturally silent. It's hard to see in the dark video feed, but he's expression's gone blank too.]

I wasn't... thinking about... things, at the time. It won't happen again.

[Video] the_marrok August 22 2009, 09:14:02 UTC

Ah, must be disconcerting, for a mother.

[Bran hmms softly.]

Careful the promises you make, lest you find yourself breaking them unwittingly.

[Video] bloodseal_soul August 22 2009, 09:18:09 UTC

There aren't many other options for time, for her...

[...]

Mmmn. I try my best not to break my promises unless it's well-being on the line.

I...

Sorry if I sound scattered. I haven't been myself at all lately.

[Video] the_marrok August 22 2009, 09:43:20 UTC

[He doesn't need to pursue that further. He can guess.]

I get the impression you're a good kid, Al.

[No other comment.]

[Video] bloodseal_soul August 22 2009, 09:56:00 UTC

[Silence. That stopped him cold.]

... you really think so?

[Video] the_marrok August 22 2009, 10:07:21 UTC

That's my initial assessment, yes. You disagree?

[Video] bloodseal_soul August 22 2009, 10:12:46 UTC

[A flicker of a smile.]

I try to be, but I think I miss the mark sometimes.

[Video] the_marrok August 22 2009, 10:15:44 UTC

Good don't mean angel, boy. Hell, it doesn't even imply perfect.

Just means you try. [Slight amusement.] And sometimes trying means missing the mark.

[Video] bloodseal_soul August 22 2009, 10:23:58 UTC

I don't think I could stand myself if I were perfect anyway.

[A genuine smile this time.]

You strike me as a good person too, Bran.

[Video] the_marrok August 22 2009, 10:28:52 UTC

Few of us can pull off perfection well, admittedly.

[Interesting expression, he notes it.]

Thanks kid. I try.

[Video] bloodseal_soul August 22 2009, 10:30:39 UTC

[Slowly but surely, he's dropping his guard around Bran. He chuckles softly.]

One good thing's come from my being gone. I can't find the signal of the Shifter's PCD anywhere.
