[ There's a long pause between the device being turned on and someone starting to speak, filled with the faint noises of people moving around and talking in open spaces- A hallway, perhaps, somewhere with hard floors to echo all those sharp footsteps. ]

Ah... Mukuro? Or, uh. someone who c'n find him...

[ She sounds a bit vacant, out of sorts-

[The voice is familiar, and he can't help but answer.]

You have been injured?

[Voice || Private]

[suchselfishness]

Mm-hm. Not here, though?

... I don't think it was here.

[Voice || Private]

[pure_lineage]

Not here...

[He's quiet for a moment.]

...you returned back to your world?

[Voice || Private]

[suchselfishness]

For a little while, I think. Several days.

[Voice || Private]

[pure_lineage]

[There's another silence as he debates with himself.]

I am pleased with your return despite your injuries.

[As if displeased with himself that he'd spoken in such a way, Sephiroth quickly changes the subject.]

I trust that you have already located your partner?

[Voice || Private]

[suchselfishness]

You're being nice.

[ As if it's a surprise- But his change in subject distracts her easily. ]

Mm-hm. He's coming. I knew he would.

[Voice || Private]

[pure_lineage]

[He smoothly ignores her observation, and is glad to use the topic change to forget all about it.]

Then it appears that things are as they should be.

[There's a moment where he feels as though he should disconnect the feed. Rhode would undoubtedly sense such hesitation in the silence before he simply disconnects.]
