[The less said about how long it took him to figure out how to use this damn thing the better. He was walking and preoccupied and is not here to be judged.

He is instead here to judge someone else....even if the small five year old in his arms is probably judging him anyway.]

Would this kid's shixiong please come pick him up? I found him wandering around alone. [You know, during a kidnapping crisis. At night.] Says he can fight but I'm not lettin' a five year old wander around alone. You have an hour from me sending this to get a hold of me or I'll take him back to my place and we'll try again in the morning.

[Alibaba's going to complain, isn't he?]

[ He's quiet for a long moment before he replies, forcing a hint of cheer into his voice, because he can tell Cassim isn't taking any of this well. ]

We can go find a weapons shop, I'll ask around, the people here have got to know where there's one nearby. And I'm sure we can find you a nice one now, too. At least we don't have to worry about something being out of our price range anymore?

[fogofdread]

True. Punch you a few times and easy money.

[flamebearer]

Wow, that's not what I meant!

[fogofdread]

You weren't specific.

[flamebearer]

I changed my mind, we'll just find you a butter knife.

[fogofdread]

I can sharpen that.

[flamebearer]

A spoon, then.

[fogofdread]

That, too.

[flamebearer]

[ ..... ]

You're impossible.

[fogofdread]

[He's just gonna laugh. Duh, Ali.]

[flamebearer]

[ Well, at least that's a happier sound than his tone of voice earlier. So, small victory? ]

I'll find out about a weapons shop while I wait for you to get back, okay? Good luck finding the kid's parents. And... if you can't find him, we can look after him until you can, okay?

[fogofdread]

Hopefully his...whatever sees this.

[flamebearer]

I hope so, too. Keep me updated, yeah?

[fogofdread]

I will.
