[there are a few hesitation marks on the page, here; he had been mulling over what to say to her in return for the words she'd written for him -- ones he'd read over and over again along with Lilith's letter. in the end, he fails to produce half of the eloquence either of them possessed.

so, he goes with what's from the heart, instead.]

...Thank you.

[filter to: NANAKO]

Hey... Nanako -- are you maybe up for some ice cream? Maybe in town? I kind of feel like taking a walk, if you want to go with me! [not like he needs a reason to spoil her, but... you know, he has a feeling she could use it, too.]

[this takes a while to write as well, if for different reasons than the others before it. but eventually, the words find their way onto paper.]

Are you up for that game of chess?

[filter to: THE FREELANCERS; dictated.]

[well, it's a little late -- but Caterina had sent him on a mission, and he still had a job to do. so! he sounds cheerful and amicable, maybe a little sheepish as he starts talking:]

Ah-- I'm sorry for how random this must seem, but... my name is Father Abel Nightroad, and I'm a friend of York and Delta's? I'm sending you this message in hopes that we might be able to talk about Agent Maine's situation, as well as the issue of the armor. I know things are... rocky, at best right now -- and so I appreciate your taking the time to talk with me in advance.

[filter to: CATERINA, visible to TRES]

Caterina... are you in the mood for a walk? Tres, too.

There's something I want to show you in town.

[ooc: apologies for any slow tags in advanceeee]

I wouldn't be against it. What would you like to show us?

Let me know if you need anything from my end.

[ ... ]

It broke.

It's a surprise...! No asking too many questions. You know I'm no good at keeping a secret. [heh.]

I'll come pick you up, okay?

Will do. I'm sorry it's taken me a while to get the ball rolling, but -- hopefully, things will work themselves out soon, now.

How are you doing, York?

The chess set?

That's right.

I can fix that easily enough. We can wish for a new one, you know?

But I shouldn't be there. You said so.

And I'm asking you to come, now. That must mean I want you here, right?

You're feeling better?

Don't lie.

It's not technically your responsibility to do anything at all, you know. So I appreciate it. [And Abel has a very valid excuse for not being involved earlier, what with Lilith leaving and all. Not that York's going to bring that up.]

A little bored out here away from everyone, but I'm staying out of trouble. Besides, I get visitors every now and then.

...I still... miss her.

But she'd never forgive me if I sat around and forgot my promise to her. Don't you think...?

Well, you'll be happy to hear that Caterina passed down the official order to make it my business. Thus, I won't get away with slacking off too long and she might really chew my head off if I try--! It'll get seen to, at the least. I can promise you that. Caterina is really scary when she wants to be...

[heh.]

...Ah, really? Good! Good... I guess boring is better than some of the alternatives, considering our ah. Less than friendly neighbors, right?

You need not thank me. I am only glad to hear from you again.

I'm sorry I didn't answer sooner. I know I should have, and it's--

[...]

...Thank you. [for coming at all. it meant a lot to him ;;]

You required time alone with your grief; I cannot fault you for that.

[She said you didn't need to thank her, bro. ;;] You would have done the same, were our positions reversed.

[but he needs to thank her anyway D:]

I hope they never will be. [he resents the castle enough right now; hurting her... he really wouldn't be able to forgive it after that.]

I seemed... to miss too much. I'm still catching up, but -- are you alright?

I would be disappointed.

I am well enough. [Elrond's departure, the chaos of the Peace Patrol meeting, Five taking off for the Dead Zone- it's been a little insane lately, but not enough for her to openly admit to it.] Had you reason to suspect otherwise?

I hope that means you're coming. You don't want me to end up moping on my lonesome, do you?

Caterina told me that the situation has been tense since the meeting in the lobby. You were there, weren't you?

[ After some thought, Joshua sets the pen aside and dictates. ]

Okay. When?

I was. But you must recall, my friend, I was raised the daughter of a High King; I heard political squabbling from my nursery. [This was nothing. Barely even a death threat!]

Whenever you're free? I can meet you wherever you'd like! [he'd suggest further from the castle since, you know, he is still a wanted criminal and all, but it's up to him.]
