Uh... yeah. I guess I lost track of the time.

*wait, if she's asking why he's still up....*

What're you doing up? I didn't wake you, did I?

No, it's okay. I was going to get some water.

What were you doing?

Working on more of those dolls, is all.

You're still making dolls this late?

[Takes a good look at the dolls on the floor.]

I haven't seen anything like those before. What are they?

*quiet a sec, wondering how to answer*

You remember back when we first talked, when I said the Embryon turned into monsters?

*glances at the toys, and back to her*

....I wasn't kidding.

[She frowns for a second before looking back at him.]

Is it okay if I go to your room?

Of course it is.

*like he'd say no to her? They're in the same house, and the idea of locking bedroom doors and deliberately isolating oneself from the rest of the house and people in it is a little beyond him, at the moment.*

*...besides, he could use some company....*

Harley?

Yeah?

*fabric and sewing stuff gets put in a plastic tote thing, and that goes on the shelf... the dolls get to sit on the bed for now.*

[Still by the doorway]

Oh, were you going to bed already?

*small shrug* I don't know. I can't really focus on finishing these right now, and I think I should be going to bed... but I don't think I'll be able to sleep for a while still, so I guess it doesn't matter.

...how about you?

I could stay up for a little longer...

[Walks in and sits at the edge of the bed, eying the half-done plushies] So these are... those Embryon guys you were talking about.

Yeah... well, most of them.

*steps back over and sits down near her, pointing them each out as he explains* That's what their strategist turns into... the guy with the green hair. And their sniper. She's got the pink hair, and the long skirt. That one over there?

*points over to the shelf, where the puppet of Agni is sitting* That one's their Second, the guy with the red hair, who keeps calling back when I hang up on him, because he doesn't want to take a damn hint, and keeps talking about... devouring and... and he's the one that keeps being such an asshole all the time. He's the one that threw me across the room when they cornered me in my own base, back in the Junkyard, and tried eating me again, when they found me in Somarium.

*moves the last one, smoothing it out so it's not so indistinct a little pile of floppy cloth* And this one's Serph, their Leader. I'm not sure how to finish the arms, though. He's got these.... *pauses* ....these.... they're not claws. They're more like swords or something. And there's a ( ... )

[It's a little much for her to take in but she listens to him intently.]

I don't think I've met any of them. Are they all here?

You sound like you really don't like that red guy, huh? I mean, I don't blame you if he's always trying to... eat you.

[Bites her bottom lip. Maybe she shouldn't have said that...]

*a hesitant nod... yeah, they're all here. At least, he thinks so. It's not like he's kept close tabs on each of the Embryon. ....or.... wait, didn't-- wasn't it their strategist that was asking him if he'd seen one of his comrades? ....oh, whatever.*

Serph said we had a truce, but... I don't really trust them. When they came into my base, they tried saying they just wanted to ask what happened. I told them what happened, and then they chased me and kept eating all my men on the way. Caught me in my command room, and.... *shakes his head* I don't trust them. Some of them seem okay, but.... I don't ever want to be near their Second again. I'm pretty sure he's the main reason for the FAMAS.
