[Possibly persistent phone call]

[redshuriken]

[Cissnei recognized the style in which the two uniformed men near the inn were killed. Like they had met their end by a sword, a katana. She wasn't sure if the number was still active, it had been years but still Cissnei dialed the number to Adrian's phone and listened to it ring. She hopes he'll pick up, or she might be tempted to call over and over again, until she got on his nerves; she could be quite persistent at times.]

[Adrian had killed those men and left them in full view. A Turk did not do such things, but then, he was no longer a Turk.

He was a man triggered.

He barely had the sense to realise he would have to more careful next time... but it was there: a reminder in every ring

He snarls at the phone as it persistently nags, thinking it Rhys once more.

Pulling the cell out he clicks flips it open, then just as quickly flips it back, cutting Cissnei off in the process.

Just as the ID faded from the screen, Adrian caught sight of the number and realised it was not the pretty little irritant he had thought...]

Shit.

[Possibly persistent phone call] ^^

[Cissnei hears the click of the phone being picked up a moment before she hears it click off. He hung up on her? Well, she's just going to hit call again and wait for a minute.

[The phone snaps open again quickly and blue eyes glance at the number.

A moment elapses as Adrian pushes his glasses up the bridge of his nose - but the ring still pierces and grates - so, smoothly, belying just how much this has thrown him, a finger taps against accept call]

Shuri?

[Possibly persistent phone call]

[redshuriken]

[She's actually a little surprised that he picked up the second time. Cissnei was sure he might make it a little more difficult, but she's glad he did.]

Hey. How are you?

[She doesn't mention that she saw his display outside the inn. Not yet anyway.]

[Possibly persistent phone call]

[turk_katana]

[If there is one person Katana -not Adrian- would respond to, it would be Cissnei.

There is a bond between partners, and whilst it took longer for their particular repartee to develop, Katana cared for her almost as strongly as...

Katana-

Memories shifted, and his head hurt. It was Adrian that was toying with the weight of his blade. He could not affrod to be distracted.

Clearing his throat he answered abruptly, softness dropping into a cool tone]

I'm a bit busy right now, little lady.

Speak to you again, hmm~?

It's-

[He falters then ends the call.]

Good to hear your voice, again

[Katana -not Adrian- muttered into the salt air. Standing he begins to run over to the ship dock to 'ask' the ship hands a few pertinent questions]

[Possibly persistent phone call]

[redshuriken]

['Little lady'? Cissnei smiles a bit.]

Wait-

[She sighs at the sound of the call being ended. He could have given her a minute at least but at least she knew he was mostly alright. Or seemed that way.]

Don't think I'm giving up on you.
