[Given how much Altair'd talked about missing his friends, it's a surprise he's waited this long to send a message from home, but he is. It looks like he's in some sort of well-lit medieval-style house, though it's dark in there right now and it's hard to see much other than Altair

[There was no way it wasn't going to be awkward, but really, Lie's gotten to see a lot of other people too (most of whom he hasn't slept with), and has gotten to see that, well - he's very well regarded by other priests of Sharess. He's opted not to go home, instead sending them a letter, because well - he doesn't ... really want to explain everything to them right now. Don't get him wrong, he LIKES his family, but sometimes they just don't really get him.]

Lie, are you okay?

[Mentally, he reminds himself that he needs to go shopping again. He's already called in a few favors and gotten himself some proper equipment; a set of chainmail, a nice, magical mace, and a small shield.]

It's good to have seen people again, especially Ia. [The tone of his voice implies that it's not just about the sex, though, that happened; Lie's a perceptive girl, she's probably figured out that he feels about Ia the same way he does about her, though not ... nearly as protective. Ia's much more of an ass-kicker than Lie is.]

We do need to go shopping over the next few days, though. I have a few more favors to call in and some people who owe me things, and I think we'd better be prepared before we don't have the chance to. Did you get anything from Vaduz?

[He frowns. It'd been him supporting her going to go see her fucking crazy brother, and perhaps that hadn't been the best idea.]

He'll learn, I hope. Can I ask what they gave you, or is that...

[He's not sure if it's sentimental things, or useful things. He plans on going for useful things, and hopes other people are doing the same.]

[spreadbare]

I know he is too.

[Okay - the rest of it he gets, but when she says 'rifle', he looks a bit confused - what the hell is that? He's never encountered one.]

... what's a 'rifle'?

[spreadbare]

I do - is it something like that?

[spreadbare]

... so it's like an explosion-powered heavy crossbow instead of an explosion-powered hand crossbow.

[Things Altair Is Very Upset About: A heavy crossbow won't fit in that fucking box.]

[spreadbare]

Would you?

[Altair sounds far more excited about this than he should be. SERIOUSLY THOUGH, EXPLOSION-POWERED CROSSBOW, HOYL SHIT.]

[spreadbare]

[He nods quietly, enthusiasm dampening slightly. He really wouldn't like her to NEED to use it, but...]

Is there anything you'd like while we're here, Lie?
