[It doesn't take long before Vincent picks up.]

Yes?

[immortal_lion]

[Highfive. And already, his question is answered.]

Glad to hear you're alive.

[chaos_vessel]

Of course. Same to you.

[immortal_lion]

[A small pause. Yes, that was all he was looking for. But it's just dawned on him - why does he care? He can't quite place why, but he decides he does. And that is that.]

I was calling in regard to how things were going with your task, but you sound upset.
Are you alright?

[lastsummoner]

No. I don't want to be alone again!

Lady Eiko, you just have to tell me to come and I'll be there. I promise.
