[A husky laugh-- or that could've been a growl for all you know. Could just be distance or a damaged mouthpiece, but the device still manages to pick up sound. He sounds... fatigued? Detached?]

I despise this weather.

[The last is audible to those who listen very, very closely. It's easy to miss it.]

This leisure is suffocating.

Comments

[Transmission starts up, but there's only silence on his end, which lasts several long, drawn out moments.

When he does finally speak, Zero almost sounds bored as well.]

It won't last very long.

[truestblood]

Does anything?

[instrumented]

...depends on what it is.

[truestblood]

I doubt that any neat categorization like that exists here. I'll merely be glad when the snow is gone.

[instrumented]

I meant the down time, but I'd rather that last, opposed to the snow.

[truestblood]

It's preferable to chaos, though it just as easily breeds malcontent.

[instrumented]

And I'm sure if/when that happens it wouldn't be so soon after all that recently went down.

[truestblood]

[Musingly]

It would be wise to start paying attention, despite having little interest in Nuadoria's politics.

[instrumented]

Interest wouldn't matter. Everyone here wants to get back home. Paying attention when the topic arises is the least we can do.

[truestblood]

[A thoughtful silence. Kaname speaks slowly, as though preoccupied]

Is that so.

[instrumented]

[While Zero sounds more so listless.]

Maybe for me. I don't care what you decide to do.

[truestblood]

I only ever do what's necessary, Kiryuu-kun. It's just a matter of waiting to find out what it is.

[instrumented]

Of course you do, Kuran-senpai. Of course you do.

[truestblood]

The lacking provisions, for instance, can rile one's instincts.

[instrumented]

Obviously.

[truestblood]

[Lightly. He does not speak out of the goodness of his heart.] Has it already been another month? How do you manage it, Kiryuu?
