[Voice] Now for something completely different

[dark_thespian]

...I could have sworn that left turn would have taken to the edge of the wall. Why did it take to me-

[There's a thudding noise and something hits the dirt with a muffled 'HEY'.]

Ah stop that! I was only gone-

What do you mean I've been missing for-

[Shuffling sounds resume until stone is scraped on. The voice resumes after another dull thud.]

-- Allen?

[Voice // Private // Unhackable]

[dark_thespian]

Yes?

[Voice // Private // Unhackable]

[marsfireignite]

... you're still here.

[It's a rush of tired relief.]

That's all.

[Voice // Private // Unhackable]

[dark_thespian]

I'm still here. [His voice softens to a gentler tone.]

I brought some food back.

...An eye and an arm?

[Voice]

[dark_thespian]

Ah, I didn't know this was on. Hello.

[Voice]

[daath_vader]

Hello! I'm sorry if that was nosy. [It just seemed. Odd.]

[Voice]

[dark_thespian]

It's alright! I promise it's nothing serious.

[sauceytomato]

Get lost?

[dark_thespian]

Ha, no. I went to go hunt to stock back up on meat.

[sauceytomato]

Get enough for your appetite?

[dark_thespian]

Enough for a few days at least.

[outsidewindows]

They grew right back then?

[This is polite interest leading into something bigger.]

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[dark_thespian]

My eye has always done that. My arm...is formed by my Innocence bonding to my body. How are you?

[feel_nevermore]

Welcome back, Allen.

[dark_thespian]

[He offers her a smile while petting Timcampi.]

Thanks Raven. How have things been while I was gone?

[Video]

[feel_nevermore]

[The shadow of a suppressed emotion, pain or sorrow?, washes over Raven's face. And she doesn't smile back, not even that small smile she'd usually give Allen.]

Just as usual, I guess.

[dark_thespian]

[His expression blanks carefully as he speaks.]

You guess? Are you alright, Raven?
