[It's a video post, mostly because he won't be assed to try to write anything down right now. The man in the video looks like hell. Those who know him know he's always kind of grouchy and terse, but now it's much, much worse.]


So what the hell happens to people when they leave this hellhole, again? Does anyone even know?


I swear, if she isn't safe, there won't be a single...


[He stops himself before he gets himself more worked up. That's not a goddamn thing he can do right now, and he knows it.]


Right, whatever. My partner's gone.


The apothecary's closed until I figure out what I'm doing. If you need anything that badly in the meantime, just find me.


[And with that, he shuts off the camera.]

[She doesn't recognize him by sight. She only saw a couple of his pictures the one time on Prismates. When he mentions the apothecary, that triggers the recognition switch.]

[Should she say his partner is okay? It seems like a lie, since she doesn't know what their situation was on his homeworld. So...just reassure for what she does know, and make sure he's okay. Okay-ish. He's probably not 'okay.']

They go home, to the same point from where they left, so it's like nothing here ever happened.

[She looks down at her lap, where her other hand rests there for a moment. It's been a while, but she remembers feeling pretty guilty when she found out Ichigo was gone too.]

I'm sorry. It's still hard when you're the one who's here.

Ah, Raphtalia, was it?

[Sure, Rey's never met this guy before but it was inevitable information to pick up since she kind of -- sort of -- bidded on his partner during the charity auction. Oops.]

Guess apologies probably doesn't cut it. Not much comfort knowing anyone can just come and go with no warning.

[ She went back and forth on this for a bit, trying to decide if she really wanted to talk about the fact that she went home recently. In the end, she decides it sounds like the kind of thing he might need to hear. Her voice is soft, wanting to be of comfort for him. ]

I went home recently and I returned to the very moment I'd been taken from.

[ There's a short pause before she adds ] I'm sorry your partner has returned home.
