[Hello, island. This is a voice message from your Asano Rin. And she's soundiing a wee bit... harrowed.]

Everyone -- [a gasp or a sigh, or something in between] -- no. I mean -- haaah.

Well, we're all seeing the signs, aren't we? It's the second half of the month now, so we're beyond due for another trip to -- whatever you want to call it

Rin.

Where are you? [Because gd. First her breakdown now this.]

[revengeisalie]

[Oh.

Crap.

Of course, Rin wasn't thinking at all when she posted this, so she also wasn't thinking of Riza. Bad choice, bad! She doesn't want to worry Riza!

Have an embarassed and vividly gesticulating Rin.]

Riza-san! I'm home, and really, I'm perfectly okay -- see? [FLEXING AN ARM TO DEMONSTRATE.] I'm just being silly and emotional and... getting my silly feelings out of the way early on! I'll be right back to normal in no time, I swear!

[thehawks_eye]

I'm on my way.

It's alright. I know the feelings of wanting out of here. [A kind, soft smile. Riza understands. Truth knows she feels the same way right now.]

[revengeisalie]

No, you don't need to!

[That was pretty. Intense, but then, softer:]

I mean, if you have something else holding you up.

[Attempts a bit of a smile. Still awkward.]

gdi midnight, hurry up and get here so I can have my icons agaon. :|

Your well-being is my priority Rin. [It has been from day one when she took you under her wing as her charge. It's more than a duty now - you're family. That comes first.]

I'll be there soon.

[revengeisalie]

... if you're sure. That you can get away. Because if you have something to do out there that's relevant to our survival here? Frankly, I'd hate keeping you from it, and prefer if you did that. I could even come help you!

[thehawks_eye]

I have nothing more important.

[She'll be there soon, Rin. Her mama!mode was triggered.]

[revengeisalie]

[She's just gonna have to accept it, then!]

... thanks. Really. I mean it.
