I am relieved to hear it! I was afraid I might have to blow up a wall or something.

[ of course, the fact that some unknown third party says "the person who said they were in danger is actually fine" is... not really very decisive, as "evidence that a person who says they're in danger is actually fine" goes. but the fact that the unknown third party is suggesting titus knock on the door rather than that he clear out is a good sign. so... he'll knock on the door then he guesses???

a few seconds pass (transit time). knock knock! ]

[ That text right there is exactly what she's been concerned about since she discovered this post and she takes a quiet breath as she regards it. She doesn't pocket her device, but she step to answer the door, leaving Lewin -- well, he's in good enough sight, but a certain black sparrow is set to keep tabs on him.

Don't mind her. Just taking a look through the peephole even as she speaks loud enough to be heard. ]

If that was a legitimate thought, you obviously haven't known Lightning-kun very long.

[ That's one lock unlocked, but then, she's going to make herself perfectly clear before she goes any further. ]

Lightning-kun and I agreed upon this arrangement ahead of time before Iris started its usual mess because it affects him so strongly he can't think straight under its influence. If he gets loose, the moon will do its best to run him into the ground and that cannot happen again. It isn't good for him and I won't allow it. Do you understand?

Well, to be honest, I also had another, nondestructive idea for gaining entry. But I thought I would suggest the explosion first... That way, if he really were not in any kind of trouble, he would probably admit it at that point rather than agree to have someone's house destroyed over a prank!
...So I imagined, anyway.

[ shrug. ]

In any case, I understand what you are saying. May I speak with Lightning to verify that he is well?

—Ah, by the way, I am Titus Alexius! Hello.

[ This person sounds... very earnest. It doesn't put her completely at ease because she doesn't know him. This is their first meeting, after all, but it's enough, alongside his understanding, for her to set about undoing the remainder of the locks and properly open the door as he...? Speaks.

Of course, because he seems earnest and... young, she's going to get one thing right out of the way. ]

You may be giving Lightning-kun too much credit, but hello.

[ A slight incline of her head and -- ]

I wish it were under better circumstances, but I'm Setsura Yamaguchi. Lightning-kun is in the fort.

[ She steps to the side easy, prepared to close and lock the door behind him and follow as she is absolutely not leaving Lewin unattended with company and... well, she might be in a bit of a hurry to return to a certain position she was occupying before because she was very comfortable before someone decided to misbehave. She's in little more than a deep purple robe that terminates about mid-thigh with her katana at her side given all this excitement and just how seriously she takes the matter of the security of her leaf and home. The direction she thumbs is the living room, which is easily visible and... well, he won't have to look hard to see that it's setup for a lengthy, but warm sit-in.

The walls of the room look like some kind of outer space thanks to the newly purchased Totally Globular she's been playing with and there's a very prominent blanket fort between the table and pushed back sofa that might have a bit of a nest-like quality about it in which he'll most assuredly find Lewin. The living room table seems to be populated with various snacks, a proper tea tray with a freshly brewed pot and cups, brand name Coca Cola, various books, some notebooks, a few of which are open to notes with curious writing -- transcriptions from the Tower of Whispers. There's some knickknacks here and there, too. A pair of headphones, earbuds, a remote control on top? Is the television on cartoons or something?? This is truly hell. ]

Well met, Setsura Yamaguchi. Wow, we are about the same height! Most of the Moonblessed I meet are taller than I am. [ that has nothing to do with anything but he noticed it!!

and now he pops inside, looking around curiously. he's not particularly suspicious or on guard, but he does feel like he should probably try to observe for real?? just in case, or whatever. (like her, he's got a weapon at his side, but his appears to be a silver rapier tipped with a red jewel.) ]

What a wonderful room! I don't think I would mind being temporarily captive in such a place at all.

[ joining his hands behind his back, he leans down to catch a glimpse underneath the blanket fort... ]

Hello, Lightning! It's me. How are you?

Oh, hey! [There he is. A hobo in a blanket fort. He's dressed comfortably, aside from the ropes (kinky). He waves, or sort of waves, with his hands tied together.]

You here to rescue me? [He is pretty clearly in absolutely zero danger.]

At this point that doesn't seem very likely...

[ he crouches so they can have a nice, quick conversation at eye level. or closer to eye level, anyway. ]

So! Setsura Yamaguchi says that the two of you agreed to this setup together. Is that correct?

Yeah, we agreed to it. Like, weeks ago. [No, Lewin, it was like literally last week. He still holds his hands out towards Titus.] Come on, untie me.

Wh—
Are you joking?? Why should I?
