[ Static in the beginning. ]

I seem to have missed a lot while I was...unavailable. [ Unless you press him, he's going to avoid saying anything about his absence. ] Something about dolls and items going missing, was it? None of my belongings have gone missing, thankfully. I hope everyone can get their things back

[dollchains]

[subrusticus_xiv]

Well...I'm slightly behind everything regarding recent events. [ Sheepishly chuckles. ] Would you mind filling me in on what I've missed?

[lenalee_lee]

[subrusticus_xiv]

[A switch to private.]

Don't give me that, Allen. [He knows him better than that and while he's still got a bit of the Komui-cheer in his voice, there's a seriousness to it as well.]

You've been missing for a while. What were you doing?

[ voice | private ]

[subrusticus_xiv]

[ Tries to hold out a little longer. ]

Give you what, Komui-san? [ Innocence colouring his voice. ]

I...

[ Pauses, gaze flickering around the room to his hands, Timcampi--anything but the communicator. ]

Exploring the place. Getting better acquainted. [ He knows he paused too long. Prepares himself for the onslaught of questions. ]

And yet I still missed the dolls.
