ϡ - Chapter Ten; interesting thoughts [voice]

[folkloristic]

Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten, Eleven…oh there’s no more sugar left. Hmm I’ll have to pick some up later.

[ The transmission is silent, for some time, but it’s most likely because Helios doesn’t notice it’s on. The sounds of pages turning in a book are the only source of noise to be recognized. He'll give a long sigh. ] Mushi seem to have disappeared

Naoki? Is everything alright?

[Voice]

[folkloristic]

[ He's going to sigh. He really shouldn't because he'd say the exact same thing. ] I can't possibly not worry about it when you sound like that. I'm going to come over if you don't tell me.

[ He sounds very sincere about it so you better tell him or he's gonna come over. ]

[folkloristic]

[ He's not really taken aback, more concerned than anything. ]

Mm yes of course. I'll go make us some more tea-or, er something else. [ Since he used up all his sugar... ]

[ He'll get up from the table scattered with various books and the like. Opening the door with a warm smile on his face, stepping to the side to let the other in. But despite the smile there is a touch of concern in his eyes as well. ]

Pardon the mess I seem to keep things lying about more than putting them away! [ And a mess it is, books and papers with symbols on them are pretty much scattered around. ] Please make yourself at home!

Haha! I'm so used to Rosette putting things away for me! [ Sheepish grin and a laugh to follow. He'll find a seat and scoop up the papers lying on it and place them on the table. ]

Oh you know, keeping occupied. / [ Doing what...is anyone's guess, it's probably best not to know. ] I've been quite well, thank you. Ah-and how are you doing? [ Because he did remember what you said a long time ago about your Father. ]

She's my Secretary! She's a dear for putting up with well...this. [ He motions to the room and its a tornado-just-went-through-it look. ]

Oh, oh dear are you...holding up well? [ He's looking at you Naoki quite concerned now. ] Anything I can do please let me know. Something like that...people shouldn't be alone for it especially when they're in a unfamiliar place of all times.

[folkloristic]

It is what we do, isn't it? Get by I mean with or without company. But it certainly does help. The company...always helps in these cases.

[ He'll give a small sigh his eyes fixating on nothing in particular, almost as if he's lost in thought or thinking about something from the past maybe. ]

[folkloristic]

Oh! What- Yes! Fine, I'm fine! [ He laughs a bit nervously rubbing the back of his head as he sits back in his chair, eyes closing. ]
