[[OOC note: Technically this is supposed to take place in the early morning/late night hours of the 22/23, but since I don't want to wait another pointless 24 hours to post this (and therefore would be posting after the time this is taking place), I am posting early! :3 Please keep the IC time in mind, thank you~.]]

[Byrne and his traveling

Comments

[Action] Why am I always late?

[kings_thief]

[Locke gave Byrne the privacy he needed for his messages, choosing instead to check on Rachel and Tyros. When the other man is finished Locke walks back over and yawns.]

We should prolly go rest up now, ok? We'll both be busy tomorrow, no use be'in half dead too.

[Another yawn.]

[action] ....You post at 2:30 AM on a school night again and I will END YOU.

[corvus_veritas]

[Byrne nods, though he wishes he wasn't so nervous so that he could actually sleep tonight...]

Yeah. Let's go find a place to crash for the night.

[A pause.] Sorry again for making you travel with me at such an hour. [This has been the third or fourth apology by now, feel free to smack him for it. W-well, not really smack him, BUT...]

[action] Have I told you how much I LOVE YOU recently? 8D

[kings_thief]

[He shakes his head in exasperation, really, how many times were they going to have this conversation?]

Really, Byrne, I don't mind. Back home there was no such thing as 'regular hours', not when you're hunting treasure.

...and I think, to you, your daughter is a special kind of treasure..

Come on, I'm sure there's a place nearby!

[Ooh, watch out, Locke can be serious when he wants to be!]

[action] ಠ_ಠ

[corvus_veritas]

[A smirk. Can't disagree with that.]

Alright, alright, mister 'treasure hunter'. But first I need to go to the PokeCenter, okay?

[action] ^-^;;;

[kings_thief]

Sure thing! We'll wait for ya.

[He gestures to the sleeping Meowth, curled over his arm, who doesn't even twitch at the motion.

[...and a few minutes later, there's a call for Locke! And guess who it's from? Yes, the man you spoke to like...two seconds ago. He sounds different than before - a little more...nervous, perhaps?]

Hey, Locke? You should go ahead and go on without me. My daughter just called, and I'm going to meet her now.

[audio]

[kings_thief]

[Too bad this is audio, or you'd see the encouraging smile on his face.]

Sure, Byrne, we'll do our own thing for a while.

Oh, and Byrne...good luck.

[audio]

[corvus_veritas]

[There's a brief pause on the other end before Byrne responds:]

Thanks, Locke.

Good luck on your journey.
