[twinned_clone]

[Robin is currently running all around the city, frantically looking for someone!

At some point during this, he'll bump into Sweden and nearly topple over.]

[rules_the_north]

[Sways a bit too, but grabs Robin's arm so the boy won't fall. Holding it for a moment longer so the boy can steady himself.]

Wh't? [As in, what happened?]

[twinned_clone]

[The boy backs up a step and lifts his notebook automatically to write an apology, then he gets a good look at Sweden.

... His eyes go wide. Sweden looks...back to normal. That has to be a good thing, he hopes.

But then worry comes back into his expression, and he does write.]

Sweden! The person I live with is missing. I can't find her, and she won't answer when I try to call her.

[Though he hasn't checked her frequency...]

[rules_the_north]

[Wait-

Robin. Yes. He knows this boy. ...So that is why he never talks? Not that Sweden minds at all, he likes the text feature and especially right now he really prefers it to talk.]

Who? [This is getting a far too frequent situation.]

[twinned_clone]

[Writing again. His usually neat handwriting is scribbly because of how worried he is.]

Vera Misham. I am very worried. When I woke up today, I couldn't find her.

[rules_the_north]

H'r frequency?

[Pling! Sweden is now in your team.]

[twinned_clone]

[Robin looks confused for a moment. He never really had to check a person by frequency-- the only person in Discedo he knows who left, disappeared after they died.]

Her communicator?

[Okay now he's fiddling with his, poking out his tongue a bit in concentration. Then he blinks in surprise.]

But, it says it can't connect.

[His face changes as he's writing that. Oh... that probably means... He shakes his head in denial.]

[rules_the_north]

[He nods at that, it is very clear. But he also knows that something like a good friend having left is hard to accept and it is better to do it slowly.]

Where have y' looked?

[twinned_clone]

......

[The boy looks down and doesn't answer for a moment. If Vera went home... he knows it's better. It is. But that means he won't see her anymore.

The communicator could be wrong though! For now he will make sure it isn't. He finally lifts his sketchbook to slowly write.]

I didn't look near the forest, yet. Will you come with me?

[rules_the_north]

[He nods.]

Are y' armed?

[near the forest, there are monsters. And while they are hardly a match for him now that he is big again, he'd rather know that his companion can protect himself if worst comes to worst.]

[twinned_clone]

[Robin pulls a small pipe halfway out of his backpack to show Sweden, then he nods solemnly. He'd rather carry his sketchbook in his hands though, instead of the weapon.]

[rules_the_north]

...'re y' trained fer f'ghting?

[twinned_clone]

[Slowly shaking his head, then he writes.]

Can you show me, some other time? Then, I won't have to run away from the monsters.

[rules_the_north]

[He nods. With Iceland gone, he has a free slot anyway. Not that he won't miss Iceland, and not that he will have to take a different approach with this one - too different in age, strenght, experience and fragility.]

Wh'never y' want. Sword 'r someth'g else? [Swords have one huge advantage over guns: You will never run out of bullets, and no time is lost reloading.]
