[if it's evening, probably with his hair down and wearing his glasses then, pretend they're there]

--Mikage?

[floorcandy]

Hi.

...there's no easy way to do this is there...

[quercusoptima]

... did something happen?

[floorcandy]

[makes weak gesture with his hands, like closing a book]

Teito's in the Book.

[quercusoptima]

[taking a long moment to process that]

Ah ...

[floorcandy]

[TAKE YOUR TIME]

[quercusoptima]

[taking a very deep breath and letting it out slowly]

Today ... ?

[floorcandy]

Yesterday.

[quercusoptima]

Ah ...

[another deep breath]

--how are you holding up?

[floorcandy]

I'm... doing okay. I spent the night at Coral and I hung out with Tempest in his tree for a while.

[quercusoptima]

[pinching the bridge of his nose for a moment] ... I'm glad to hear that.

[floorcandy]

Tonight... I'll probably change back. There's a game on, but... I'm tired.

[quercusoptima]

[nods]

I'm sorry I can't be there.

[floorcandy]

Having you on call is good too.

[quercusoptima]

It's not really the same, though.

[floorcandy]

Nah, but I'll take it.

[quercusoptima]

It'd be nice if they weren't so strict about it, though ...

[floorcandy]

What realm are you in right now? Or back in Barsburg?

[quercusoptima]

I'm not sure who it belongs to, but it's rather like a desert. I don't think we're going back until the rest of you are ready to go as well.

[floorcandy]

We're able to visit some realms if we're questing or invited by the Persona.

[quercusoptima]

I'd ask if you wanted to come stay with us for a few days, but I don't know which persona to even ask.

[floorcandy]

I have standing invites with a couple Personae, but none of them have a desert.

[quercusoptima]

It's not the most luxurious of places, either.

[floorcandy]

Deserts generally aren't.

[quercusoptima]

It's actually quite lovely in the morning and the evening.
