[ It took her a long time to still her nerves and anxiety to do this; just writing his name like this is all she can manage in terms of wording anything. She's barely touched her NV in the past few days, let alone held a longer conversation. ]

Claire?

Reaction/Video

[ The incoming message gets what would almost have been a double-take if he didn't move so fast. He hits the video reply (text would take too long). The past few days have dragged by, and her initiating contact, even if it turns out to be serious, is such a relief that he feels it physically, like a jolt in his stomach. ] Yes! Hello, Chane?

text;

[stoicloyalty]

[ Her response is not as delayed as it would otherwise be, were she not forcing herself to go ahead, simply to communicate before she changes her mind and stops again. ]

I didn't thank you for helping me on Friday.

[ No. That's not what she wants to say. But she has not the words to express how she felt at the time compared to how she feels now. ]

That's - [ He almost finishes that's fine, not worried about any lack of gratitude on her part, especially not when he has other concerns about her, but he remembers brushing off that other time she'd thanked him - it was important to her. He settles, pulling at his collar pensively. ] That's... all right. You're welcome, but it's not like I coulda not helped. Protectin' you is important to me, too... [ He smiles, suddenly thinking of a better way to sum it up. ] It was my pleasure.

[ The background noise for this post is already at a considerable level before he starts to speak, but at least this time he's not got anything foodlike in hand to distract from the feed. ]

Hey! Didn't wanna disturb ya yesterday after your video post, thought you were having a nice night in with your lady, so I'm sayin' it here- congratulations! [ Beeeeaming ] And you were tellin' me it wasn't like that, mm? Something big happen lately between you two?

Video big daddy ahhhh

[vinovidivici]

[ The reply comes quickly, Claire grinning hugely at the unexpected message and practically hugging himself at being reminded of yesterday in such a teasing way damn it you cute old man. ]

It's still not like that! It's like you saw - just slipped out! I guess since she got back a few things happened but... [ unwilling telepathy, death dreams and vampirism were probably not the kind of "something"s Kotetsu had in mind, or should ever know about ] ... well, it's kind of complicated, to be honest. I'm just real happy she didn't mind it!

Video forever, son

[beardedveteran]

[ That's only spurring him on to grin more widely, you lucky fella, you! ]

Complicated? Aah... [ -Although he has to tone it down a little there, it's nothing he's willing to get into if that's the case-- she did seem kind of quiet, after all-- but he just laughs to pick the mood back up. ] Well, if she accepted, that's what matters! And you sure look happy 'bout it!

Forever, old man

[vinovidivici]

Course I'm happy! I'm just about fit to burst. I mean accepting something like that is a big step, right? And in front of everyone too. [ The only sign of abashment at that is that his ears turn a deep red. ] That's gotta be a good sign, right?

voice; an hour or two after Czes' post|THE CREEPER BEGINNING

[cursestained]

[It had taken some digging through the network to comfirm this, but Naoya is mostly certain he has the right person.

Doesn't matter if he doesn't, though.]

Hello. My name is Naoya...and I have a matter I would very much like to discuss with you.

Voice

[vinovidivici]

Naoya, huh. [ That timing is too much to be coincidental. ] Sure. I've got time.

Voice

[cursestained]

[If only you knew, Claire.]

Is there somewhere you'd prefer to speak? The network is really not so terrible secure...

Voice | log is up~

[vinovidivici]

Sure. It's more sociable that way anyway. [ He sends over an address. A bar: one that should be quiet enough to talk freely in but busy enough to cover their movement. ]

11/27 - a few hours after Czes's post; video

[immortale]

[Firo has fixed the camera with a serious expression, and he asks the question on his mind with no clarification.]

Was it you?

[He's sure that Claire will know what he's referring to.]

Video

[vinovidivici]

Nope. [ He keeps it to the point, certain that Firo will know that he wouldn't lie about a thing like that to him, of all people. Although he'd like to say rather more on the subject it was true what Naoya had said about these channels being insecure. For now he just raises his eyebrows and shrugs - hoping his friend picks up his general air of "Ironic, huh?" ]

Re: Video

[immortale]

[Firo's shoulders slump, his posture not so rigid as it was a moment ago. He believes Claire: if he said that it hadn't been him, it hadn't been him. He nods once.]

Alright.

[But the fact that it wasn't his friend just makes what Czes did more troublesome.]

Take care of yourself, okay? [Be careful.]

Video

[vinovidivici]

Yeah. [ He doesn't thank Firo for trusting him, but he grins. ] It'll all work out!

See you around. [ Hoping sooner rather than later. ]
