[The feed starts with a fat raindrop landing on the screen, and it leaves tracks at it rolls to the side, leaving the scene a little blurry for a second. And then it’s clear, and the Tree can be seen, the big one in the Himorogi that all the residents of Kannagara should be quite familiar with by now

...how does one feel about that? Sure, Vincent is family, so Elliot does see him as someone important, but he's still...
...
Well, Vincent. That's. Just about all the explanation you need if you know him. Elliot can't say he's thrilled to see Vincent or anything, but neither is there any kind of feeling against it, it's just--]

It's obvious that Vincent likes Gil very much and all. It's kind of... weird, maybe even unhealthy or something. But, uhm... Even so...
...this is still.
...
...
What?]

Well, even he doesn't know where he's going with that.
Just. Nevermind.
For a moment, he just covers his face with his hand and siiiighs. Good mother of...
Anyway.
Replying, yes.]
Good morning, Vincent.

WHY IS ELLIOT HERE?
This is just... well, it kills his fantasy of having Gil all to himself, that's all.]

Elliot! You're here too?
[Have a smile. Have the friendliest face ever.]
It's like a regular family reunion~ Is Vanessa with you?
[Not that he cares that much about Vanessa. But Elliot at least is a good little brother, as they go.]

He wishes she was, you have no idea, but... Damn it, Vincent! Bringing that up when-- He's recovered from that but for now he would rather not that the wound gets ripped open all over again. And sure he knows about this whole thing with different times, but he can't know for sure if Vincent knows or not and--
Knowing Vincent... That doesn't exactly make that any easier. Not to mention that the reaction is rather instant and he can't really stop it even if he had thought of pausing to think.
His expression is just a little vivid, teeth gritted.]
Don't joke about that, Vincent!
Reply
Not that Vincent really cared much one way or the other for her. But that's not the point at all.
Vincent is honestly surprised into an apology.]
I'm sorry?
Reply
Well, that does confirm Vincent doesn't know because otherwise his reaction wouldn't be that way. It would probably be teasing if he did. That's... fine then. Deep breath.
Calm, Elliot Nightray. Not Vincent's fault, for once. So, yes, just... calm. He supposes he ought to explain that.]
It's... fine. This... place takes people from different times, so I suppose you come from earlier than me. Vanessa... has been killed, [his voice cracks just slightly,] where-- when I'm from.

[Well, he won't lie and say that it upsets him or anything. As much as he loves his acting, it's not the time for it, not here and now. And he's still quite a bit thrown off by this whole thing.]
I'm sorry.
[Two of them. Wow.]
I'll try to keep my mouth shut until I figure out what's going on then, little brother.
[And it's true, though more because he'd rather do his upsetting on purpose than on accident than for any other reason.]
Reply
He'll just move onto another matter.]
I take it you talked to Gilbert already?
Reply
[Okay, here is a better topic. His favorite topic, in fact.]
He's coming to get me, he said.
[There's a relief in those words, because at least if he's going to be in some strange place, Gilbert has to be with him. It'd just be wrong otherwise.]
He said it'd be half an hour, so I guess I just have to wait...
Reply
That settles it then. The screen moves as Elliot stands to have a look around the house, see if Gilbert left already, and nods.]
I'm going too.
[Gilbert is kind of not letting him out of the house lately, so he'll take any chance he gets. And he would like to make sure his brothers are fine. And it might not be a bad idea with it's Vincent and Gilbert.
And it's a distraction.
So. Yeah. Going.]
Reply
I'll see you soon then, won't I?
[Have a smile.]
Do be careful, Elliot, Gilbert made it sound like this world is very dangerous.
Reply
It kind of has been lately; that's why I'm going too.
[You can never be too sure. And maybe he's a bit of a hypocrite for not wanting to leave Gilbert walking there alone but whatever. See if he cares. Not at all.]
