Altair-san. Bakura-san.

...You both have my thanks. I would have preferred to say as much in person, but it seems I was not able to before the...transition back h-

[There is a long pause there as she realizes she almost said home. Stony silence follows for a moment or more]

Please, excuse me.

[And abruptly, too abruptly, the feed ends.]

...back here. [Don't worry, Konan; he caught it too, and will just... correct it for you so you can totally save face. See? He's got your back. B)]

Isn't that what we all should be doing for each other? We can't leave people out on an island here, especially when the world changes.

[xangel_of_rainx]

...Precisely, Altair-san.

[spreadbare]

Just. Try not to go off by yourself, next time. I realize you're skilled and everything, but...

[This sounds like the kind of thing that'd be condescending coming from Altair, like 'not everyone can be as awesome as me'; it's not. It sounds like... genuine concern for her safety.]

[xangel_of_rainx]

[And while her voice is proud, very much so, there is a very small hint of that bending as well. She knows wise words when she hears them.]

...Yes, there is safety in caution.

[spreadbare]

It's dangerous to go alone. Here, take this! [Then he hands her a sword. yes, through the communicator I don't see why you think this is a problem???]

Just... be careful, alright? And if you need anything - like, if you get hurt... [Aw, look at him being concerned. And it's not just because he'd lose out on occasionally getting to see her boobs (covered)!]

[xangel_of_rainx]

At times.

Mm. I will, Altair-san, and should I need it, I will call for you. I...

...Thank you.

[spreadbare]

You're free to come by anytime and talk.

... I realize you're expecting some sort of euphemism there where 'talk' is secretly 'Altair ogling my tits for an hour' but it's really not. You have your God and I respect that, and while I do appreciate your body I know nothing will happen between us and if, by some chance, you DID come on to me I'd be more likely to assume it was possession than anything else.

But if you'd like to talk about home, or things like that, I'd be more than happy to.

[He only got a little bit meta, honest.]

[xangel_of_rainx]

...

[It's quite a few moments before she replies, but there is a sincerity there when she does that she rarely bothers with.]

...I would be honored, Altair-san, to speak with you.

[spreadbare]

[NOBODY GETS TO OVERHEAR THEIR DATE PLANS.]

Honored? [He sounds slightly amused - after all, he's not the most... honorable of people - but very much flattered, to be thought of that way by Konan.]

Please, do show up sometime in the next few days. I'll even make sure to get something for us to drink. I'm honestly curious about where you're from -- so many, ah, different people here.

[private]

[xangel_of_rainx]

Soon, then. I will let you know beforehand, for sake of propriety.

Re: [private]

[spreadbare]

Please do. It'll give me time to clean up and do other domestic things. [... or, as is more likely, Liechtenstein will do those things because she probably won't let Altair do them, but that's neither here nor there.]

[He makes a noise, like he's about to say something, but then changes his mind before it actually comes out.]
