Just a heads up, Luceti. Weather's about to turn bad again, so go out and enjoy the sunshine today.

[There is no edge of irony to this at all.]

[Filtered to Keimi]

Hey, where are you? Need to talk to you for a sec.

[Nami passes through the plaza in the early afternoon, though she's not stopping to shop or drink today-- just on her way to house

[Oh hey it's...that woman, Nami. He's been meaning to keep an eye on her ever since she made the connection Renato=Alexei and he's not exactly happy that she knows that. That and their previous conversation left him curious.]

And here I was hoping this change in the weather would last.

[mikangirl]

[...dammit. She'd almost forgotten running into him, what with everything else.

Alexei, you are a complication she's given no thought to.]

[mikangirl]

Well, the weather's often pretty unstable during a seasonal shift. Give it a week or two and our spring weather will probably be a lot more consistently nice.

[Voice/Filtered]

[fallenambitions]

[Unfortunately, you know too much. It is a problem.]

Of course. Still, your prediction of the weather is something else. You're a navigator, yes?

[Yes, he's been reading]

[Voice/Filtered]

[mikangirl]

[She thought he might. This could be messy. The problem that Nami's trying to solve is: just how does she go about this?]

That's right. One of the best there is.

[Better figure that out fast]

You certainly knew how to navigate to trouble. You may find yourself in that situation again, depending on what you'll tell me...you recognized me, which is something I can't let slip by.

[Voice/Filtered]

[mikangirl]

[Seriously?

No, seriously?

She laughs. Your timing, it is impeccable.]

[Voice/Filtered]

[fallenambitions]

...

[Sadly, he didn't make the same connection and is insulted by your laughing :|]

What are you laughing about?

[mikangirl]

I am always in trouble in this town, Alexei. [She doesn't even sound bitter. Just...amused as all hell. It does settle in her mind how she'll deal with this, though.] Anyway, stop trying to sound so ominous. Go back in your journal long enough, you'll find the answer. We were friends a long time ago.

[fallenambitions]

Should I take that as you'll keep quiet about me being here, despite the fact I don't remember anything?

[And he sounds pretty irritable at the fact that he didn't remember that he was here before.]

I read enough to get an idea that we may have been, but I can't say if that means anything now.

[Voice/Filtered]

[mikangirl]

Well, that's up to you. You don't remember anything we did together, so I'm not going to be offended if we never talk again.

[Voice/Filtered]

[fallenambitions]

...That's not what I meant, and frankly you've already involved yourself, again. In a way I cannot just ignore. [What is he going to do with you? He doesn't know...worth a shot to just say it and see what kind of response he'll get.]

I need your word that you won't reveal the connection between myself and Renato.

[Voice/Filtered]

[mikangirl]

[She doesn't have time for this shit today. Her voice sharpens to outright irritation.] You know, it's kinda pointless playing the subtle threat game with someone who could alert the whole town you're back and you're in disguise before you could even start looking for her.

You wanna come chasing after me for such a ridiculous reason, you be my guest. Or maybe you'd be better served to just keep reading. Right now, I've got better things to do.

[And she closes the journal quietly.]

[Voice/Filtered]

[fallenambitions]

[He expected as much, and doesn't say anything in return, letting her go off for now. He looked over the conversation thoughtfully instead. Even if it was a short one, it spoke volumes. And there's even an invitation to find her. How nice. This wasn't over, not until he says so. ]
