[He'll blink a little and double check his watch. The ID on the post says it's Maciel, but whoever's on the screen doesn't look a thing like him... it kind of looks like Naata, but there's more than a handful of details that are simply all wrong to match up. Plus, the blond tended to do the talking between the two.
All the same, this is the break through he's been waiting for.]
Speaking for everyone around here, I think a thanks are in order... but uhm, I don't think I saw you when I last talked to Maciel. Are you another one of his friends?
[Those dark eyes peer down at the screen, and he shakes his head.]
Don't thank me yet. There's still work to be done.
[He holds back a sigh, but he knew such questions would be inevitable the moment he chose to speak over the watches.]
-we haven't spoken like this, no. But you did see me- right now Maciel and I are using "assimilation" magic so that I can make better use of my own powers.
[He nods a little. It does make sense to him -he did feel really tired after he'd been forced into returning to his Other at the time, so especially if it was a temporary thing, the concept of such a process easily sounded exhausting.]
I'll do the best I can with this then -I hope we all do.
I know. I used to think that way a lot, but the past few days... as crazy as it's been, it's shown me that we're all working for the same thing.
[He laughs a little.]
I won't pull any of my lone gunman stuff this time.
[Roxas calms down, giving a nod as a reply to that request.]
I should talk to everyone here then and we'll figure out who's checking out where. If you guys get into a bind while we're out, just call over the watches. I'll break off and back you up then.

[His enthusiasm turns to curiosity when the 'stranger' explains what their situation is.]
I see. That -I had no idea.

We don't use this method very much- it wears the sorcerer out. We just wanted to make sure we got this information through to everyone.

Try to lay low and stay safe in the meantime.
[Roxas offers something of a playful smile.]
Maybe we can hang out once things settle down.

We'll be fine. ...you be careful too.
[And then comes a rare expression from Naata, and so fleeting that it might have been hallucinated; he smirks faintly.

[Really now, why couldn't other people be as reasonable?]
...all right. [And then hesitantly added-] -thank you.
