♪ fourth hymn. [voice]

[seleniahymn]

[The holes in her memory from over the weekend were... unsettling, though that would be putting it lightly. Luceti just seemed so out of whack since she got here, what with everyone being affected by different ailments her first two weeks, the draft, and now this.]The lack of memories over those two days... I trust that it's not a daily occurance,

[Yeah, his filter isn't going to be much better. But he lets out a sigh upon hearing Tear's okay... Especially with Natalia gone.]

Yeah, we're okay. But...

[Voice]

[seleniahymn]

[Tear lets out a soft sigh of relief of her own; it's rather hard not to notice when so many she knew were gone for several days, Luke included.]

What is it...?

[Voice]

[cakeblocked]

Natalia was... kidnapped by the Malnosso.

[Voice]

[seleniahymn]

... Kidnapped?

[Voice]

[cakeblocked]

I didn't even hear it happen, I was- [Sleeping. Dammit. Luke feels so useless...]

[Voice]

[seleniahymn]

[That tone. She's heard it before.] Luke...

[Voice]

[cakeblocked]

If I'd just... been there, maybe...

[Voice]

[seleniahymn]

If you'd been there, you would have been hurt, or perhaps even taken as well.

[Voice]

[cakeblocked]

[He lets out a frustrated sigh and rubs his forehead. Yeah, she's right...]

... And that wouldn't help anyone at all, huh?

Re: [Voice]

[seleniahymn]

Exactly. All we can do now is wait for her return, and hope that she does so safely. [It doesn't change the fact that one of her closest friends has been kidnapped, still.]

[Voice]

[cakeblocked]

Yeah... [He'd been kidnapped, too, and only Asch was able to do something, and the sole reason for that was their fonic link, which he's sure no one else in Luceti has.

Still, it frustrates him, especially considering the state that the kidnappees usually return in...]

... I hate that we can't do anything. I hate just waiting around!

[Voice]

[seleniahymn]

Unfortunately, that is all we can do. [She hates telling him that, she really does, but there's nothing she can do except be there for him.]

... Would you like me to come over?

[Voice]

[cakeblocked]

[He sighs and fists a hand at his side. He knows that's all he can do, but... Uuugh.]

... Yeah.

[Voice]

[seleniahymn]

All right. I'll be there shortly.

[Voice]

[cakeblocked]

Thanks.

[He'll get some hot chocolate made for the two of them, though, since they've got plenty of it left and Luke loves the stuff and maybe it'd help him feel better.]

[Voice]

[seleniahymn]

[And since he sounds like he really needs it (and they get along pretty well at her point in canon) she brought over some of the cake she's been asking for Flynn's present.

Knocking at the door because she's polite that way.]
