[ There's the hush of night in the background, a snapping twig or two, and then Sebastian's voice, quiet and a little far away, thanks to the 'Gear being on his belt. ]

Hard to believe that it's only going to get colder. It reminds me of a place I left long ago.

[ He's silent for a moment, and a breaking branch sounds close to the 'Gear. ]It's

Just hurry back will you. This thing keeps trying to sit on me.

[voice]

[usedcalmmind]

I imagine that must be keeping you fairly warm.

[voice]

[useddestinybond]

It is also fairly heavy.

[voice]

[usedcalmmind]

Seven or eight kilos is heavy? My, young master. Perhaps you should exercise more?

Damn it, you're coming to Violet City? Find another city to be weird and cre--

[IS ELLIE THERE? IS SHE IS SHE IS SHE? HIIIII ELLIE HIIIIIII HIIII HIII SEBASTIAN~!! HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII--]

Give that back, stupid, I'm trying to protect the city!

[there's a lot of banter going back and forth between them, mostly alternating between "LET GO LET GO" and "SOLA SOLA!"]

[ A light chuckle. ]

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. If it makes you feel any better, we won't be arriving for several days yet. You'll have time to prepare the city for the ravages of my wickedness.

- And I'm sorry to say, dear Virgilio, but Miss Ellie is rather... indisposed at the moment. She'll be fine, but she can't, ah... come to the phone.

[grumbling]

"We"? There's another creepy-as-hell invader with you? Damn it, I knew someone as weird as you would come in a pair! Who said anything about the city! Don't get any ideas and just stay the hell away from here, creepy guy!

[...Virgilio's wilting is tangible.] Indis... whatever. See, Virgilio, he probably ate--

...You didn't eat her, did you? I would imagine a guy like you would eat something as cute as Virgilio's friend. [Virgilio's torn between believing Sebastian's (more than likely) true words or Romano's suspicious assumptions.]

[usedcalmmind]

You're welcome to prepare yourself for the ravages of my wickedness, if you're concerned. I think I've better things to ravage, however.

I'm vaguely appalled that you would even suggest such a thing. Ellie has fainted, I'm afraid, and I'll have no way of reviving her until we reach the city. I rather think it better, as she won't have to suffer through the cold.

[swingingbat300]

You know Chrome?

[usedcalmmind]

We're loosely acquainted. I assume you know her, as well?

[swingingbat300]

Yeah, we're traveling together!

[usedcalmmind]

Ah! It's good to know she's being looked after, then.

[Voice]

[savedinapinch]

A-ah! It's really no problem. I couldn't very well leave you guys in the state you were in.

Thank you though, I'll keep that in mind. Though really, if you ever need me to help you out, I'm more than willing to.

[Voice] l-late! sorry! ♥

[usedcalmmind]

A dismal state it was. [ He sounds wry. ]

Miss Lockhart, do you have a favourite dessert?

[Voice] >.>; no no, I'm really late.../sob

[savedinapinch]

my favorite dessert? Um...I'm not sure. I used to love Mama's Nibel cookies...

Why?

[Voice] I guess we're even. xD; no worries!

[usedcalmmind]

Nibel cookies? I'm afraid I'm not familiar.... However, if you could recall the recipe, I'm sure I could duplicate it.

Neither my young master nor myself is comfortable leaving a favour unreturned. It's the least we can do.
