[And this is Belphe, still in bed and trying to sleep off a week of not resting well on her day off. It takes her a minute to stir, and then grab for the phone on it's nightstand.
Her sisters have long-since gone out for the day and left her in peace]
[L has long debated whether or not he should actually contact Belphegor. After the Ninetales relationship counseling went horribly public, he had worried that she would witness it and be embarrassed, and he hoped that her silence wasn't for that reason. He gambles on the true one being ignorance, bites the bullet, and contacts Belphe through her pokegear.]
I don't know if you're here at the moment, but it's Ryuzaki and I've been thinking about our last conversation. And the hug. Not overly much about the hug... it's not as if I found it arousing... not that it wasn't. Er. Please choose the least offensive explanation and disregard the other. And return my call, please.
[When he receives a reply, it's comes about twenty minutes later, and in the form of text. Direct messaging doesn't travel so well when you're high up in the air.]
Have you...? I apologize for not contacting you sooner. I've kept my gear turned off for the mostpart as reception where I am is poor.
[It isn't as if it hasn't been on her mind as well, though she hasn't been as free to think about it as he has...if only for the reason the forefront priority after speaking with Beato has been hauling ass back to Cherrygrove with Mammon as quickly as possible]
[there's a pause and then the video feed comes on. Mammon is propped up in her bed in the inn room they were sharing in Violet. She looks well-cared for, is in some clean pajamas, and has had her hair brushed not too long ago, but is staring blankly ahead, dead to the world]
I'll not forgive them!!! Take care of her with all your self, Belphegor! I'll find a way to get her soul back even if I have to kill every single one of theeeeem!
Belphegor, there is something I would like to talk to you about. It is not important, but it is important for you to know that I think it is not important. Because we've all made mistakes. Even very big mistakes, and whatever might have happened between you and Hiro is something I am not concerned about. I understand that this sort of thing happens, and I am not upset.
That's all. If this has been upsetting you then it has been needlessly.
[There's a long, long pause before she answers this message. Probably because she played it a couple of times to ensure that she was understanding it correctly]
What was said exactly doesn't matter. I'd actually prefer not to linger on it. We should allow our relationship to progress without the shadow of your past exploits weighing on our minds.
No, I think I'd like to hear what you've heard. And from who.
[because spelling the name correctly when she potentially enters it onto her shitlist is important, as is knowing whether or not to break out the red ink.]

It's understandable. No apology is necessary.
And yes. I have.
[So much easier to "own his answer" when he can read it before pressing "send."]

But Mammon is--

The one that took her soul is probably still somewhere in or around Violet City. It's happened to a friend of mine as well.
Beatrice-sama hasn't opted to travel while these shedinja are out, has she?

What, exactly, have you been told, Ryuzaki?
