Blood streaks across his face and his clothes, some of it dried, the rest still fresh and metallic . . . however, none of it is his.]The search was not futile . . . not that I would have let it be

Where.Are.You?

Why do I WORRY? Where's Rin to babysit you?

[to_turn_away]

The clock, if it is not apparent.

[reginagloriae]

That was rhetorical if it wasn't evident.

[to_turn_away]

What do you want?

[reginagloriae]

Is it unguarded?

[to_turn_away]

To the naked eye.

[reginagloriae]

You can't go on, can you?

[to_turn_away]

I have not tried. It is my common sense that dictates now that I should not step further without understanding what this is.

[reginagloriae]

That's good. I thought you were going to so something stupid for a second.

[to_turn_away]

How little you think of me.

[reginagloriae]

Rin's reckless. You can't blame me for being worried.

[to_turn_away]

She is, yes.

However, to be straightforward is a merit.

[reginagloriae]

I guess it can be a good thing, depending the circumstances.

[to_turn_away]

Straightforward without being foolish.

Do you know of this clock's mechanism?

[reginagloriae]

Nothing really. I'm more interested in the source of the curses and the way we're bought than the clock...

[to_turn_away]

What if this clock is relevant to that query?
