[Re-l's gone out on her own to look one last time, but then she's gone back to the other apartment to gather her things. A note on the door for security would reveal that she's expecting someone to come in and put up cameras and a new lock system tomorrow, but she can't be too careful this time. Daedalus, Vincent-- The latter can protect himself but Daedalus can't.

She still hasn't forgotten the last intruder they had.

She packs two changes of clothes and her pajamas, and then she gets back in her car and drives to her efficiency, far from her usual routes. She parks a block away and then heads up, turning the lock quietly and slipping in. It's late. Daedalus might even...

Oh.]

Hi.

[There he is, alone in the dark, looking up at her with wide eyes. She sets her back in the corner and goes to him, sitting down slowly.]

You should be sleeping.

[He's expectant, closing up his digital paperwork and reaching over immediately to turn on the plug-in electric kettle. A second mug and teabag have been waiting up for her also, next to his own half-finished one.

He keeps his voice low, because apart from the rain outside it's quiet enough that no one needs to speak over any noise. He likes it when the city is still. The silence was more nerve-wracking sitting up alone, though, than he's willing to admit.

Her presence is like a candle in the dark, and Daedalus smiles faintly, leaning back against the side of the bed.]

I thought I'd wait a little longer. No new developments?

Nothing as of yet.

[She spots the tea and picks up the mug, moving to go heat her food and drink up. She starts taking off her outer clothes as she goes; the vest, tie, hair clips and boots all come off first.]

Are you all right? Is Shiroe okay?

[A careful nod. That means the man is still out there- but at least no further horrors brought to anyone's attention. He expects there will be more, as investigations continue. That's an uncomfortable thought.

He considers the conversation he had with the man over the network, not more than two months ago, about naming Sea Monkeys. About Nietzsche. He had been the one leaving people mutilated and discarded in the streets?

Daedalus suppressed an uncomfortable shudder and glanced behind him, nodding at the curled up pile of blankets.]

Sleeping. He's fine, and so am I.

[He watches all the usual process of 'undoing', all the steps familiar to him by now. Vest, tie... he sets his NV aside, adjusting his robe around his shoulders.]

...are you?
