[The NV is set down just opposite him and he steps back to perch on the edge of a table. The astute might notice the Materia Kadaj gave him barely visible underneath his discarded coat, but other than that, there's nothing else visible of the room.

Liquid actually seems... happy. It's nothing concrete. It's written more in the lines of his body

Where are you running off to now?

[And a short pause.]

...Diazepam? Is Wolf okay?

[video // private]

[ysobritish]

Kadaj asked me to stay at the Church with him, so now I have three places to stay.

[A beat.]

For now. I'm concerned about what will happen when she runs out of whatever supply she has now, if she has any.

[otaku_mk_ii]

Are you sure you can trust him?

...oh. That probably wouldn't be a good thing...

[video // private]

[ysobritish]

He won't kill me, at least. [A pause. He wants to tell him why he's so certain it's safe to be there, but it's too hard to put into words and it shows off his more vulnerable side, so he won't.]

...it definitely wouldn't. I've seen her at her worst.

Puppets or not ... such wondrous things have happened since I came here ... and this world is still so magical to me even if it blase to others.

What is Diazepam?

Voice.

[ysobritish]

...I think I may be better off here too.

[It's a rare admission.]

It's a type of medication. Used to treat anxiety, among other things.

[barebacking]

I hope I am part of why you are doing so well.

Are you anxious about something?

Voice || Private

[ysobritish]

You are. Trust me on that.

No, it's not for me. [Yaha doesn't like talking about women, so he avoids saying who it's for.]

Liquid. There is something that I need to speak to you about.

Voice | Private

[ysobritish]

Then speak, Wolf. What's on your mind?

Voice | Private

[sendaloveletter]

There is a man I spoke to by the name of Kadaj. I would like to know what your relationship is to him.

Voice | Private

[ysobritish]

[...oh. This might be hard to explain.]

God only knows, Wolf.

[A beat. That honestly was not the best way to explain things.]

Might I ask your reasons for enquiring?

[elderyouth]

Your... the guy you were cloned off of is here?

Video.

[ysobritish]

...

That "guy" has been here for the longest time. No, the one of whom I speak is the other clone. My Brother.

Video.

[elderyouth]

-- Then all of these arrivals are bad for you? [major concern, already.]

Video.

[ysobritish]

I can live with them. I'd rather Brother was here than that he was lost to the aether.

[Ocelot settles himself onto a couch near Liquid.]

Chess is an interesting analogy. Are you a piece or a player?

action

[ysobritish]

A true player will be sure to place themselves on the field as well... to enhance the risk.

[He looks over at Ocelot, smirking a little.]

action

[fancy_shooting]

Chess is a poor analogy anyway. Kings are nearly worthless... their armies have to sacrifice themselves to keep them alive. True leaders should have their own power.

[Ocelot rises from the couch and walks over to a window.]

action

[ysobritish]

True. Any leader worth his salt should be able to handle themselves with or without their army.

[He watches him idly, looking amused.]

Wolf and I are hitting up a pharmacy later. Anything you need?
