Audio Post

[Voices carry up from the street several stories below, faint but clear, as if heard through an open window.]

Ow! Where in the world ... ?

[Preceding each voice is a soft whoosh of air ... ]

Holy crap!

[ ... and the hollow thunk of a cheap rubber ball striking a flesh-and-blood target.]

Ack![None of the balls seem to be missing

That's not very nice.

[cal_sitter]

It's a way to pass the time.

[captainshort]

As long as someone's having fun.

[cal_sitter]

You're not?

[captainshort]

I'm keeping busy.

[cal_sitter]

How?

[captainshort]

Avoiding Artemis. Just catching up on what I missed in the week.

[cal_sitter]

How much have you missed?

[captainshort]

Depends. Are you asking about work or what happened with my friends?

[cal_sitter]

Anything you consider important.

I haven't heard from Robin and I'm concerned.

You have to give him time. What happened in Babylon happened without his active participation, and he locked himself away for three days. How much worse is it for him that he committed the acts himself this time?

So we're just supposed to sit around and wait? I'm sorry, Niko, but that doesn't sound like the greatest idea.

We're supposed to give him the space that he needs. When he exceeds that, we let him know.

[captainshort]

If you say so.
