[Fumbling noises as he tries to set up this inbox]

Hello, you've reached Kaien Shiba. Thanks for calling! I may or may not be available, since...I'm having a little trouble figuring this thing out, but please leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

I take it you have heard of the missing child?

A quick response would be ideal.

[heartbetween]

[a small little grumble as he picks up the Forge] How many hours have I kept you waiting, again?

Yeah, I've heard about her.

She's not one of us, it seems. I think for right now we shouldn't go assuming the worst.

[ voice ]

[xnoble_reasonx]

I do not assume anything. She is missing.

I am against sending the entire patrol out to find her. You and I would be much more efficient without them getting in the way.

[heartbetween]

So I guess we're on the same page about something, then...for once.

Entire patrol would be counterproductive, yeah, but if someone wants to help out it's not really our call to stop them. We're not the ones in charge.

[xnoble_reasonx]

I do not trust the ones in charge.

They may do what they will. I have no intentions on hindering whatever investigation they may set out on.

I only wishes to request your aid in a sweep.

[He only wishes to request his aid? That's...new. A request instead of a demand. Interesting. He shakes off his surprise soon enough, though.]

I don't mind doing that. Did you have any place in mind we should start?

[pauuse] While we're at it, it'd be good to check around the undercity too.

[ voice ]

[xnoble_reasonx]

I have no suggestions. I've focused very little attention on the places where children play

[A pause in return.]

Do you suspect something?
