And indeed. It sounds like who he thinks it is. Although last time this happened, Break was caught completely off-guard and terribly disappointed by the difference in their timelines. So now he's opting to be cautious.]

He knows that voice far too well. He knows you can't see it, Break, but can you hear it? He's tensing up and he's going to throw this thing, because what makes sense is - ]

...Oops.]
[Kaien looks utterly apologetic before he quickly moves to another room, devoid of his kittens. There is a cute pair of ducklings and a black rabbit about, though?]
Really sorry about that--they got ahold of my Forge while I wasn't paying attention.
