[Fujiko's in a bad mood. Not that this is unusual per se, but at least when there were crazy things running around she had things to take her frustrations out on. Now she's low on bullets, and in a foul mood.]

Everybody leaves. [BANG!]
Why bother. [Bang bang bang!]

Che. And I finally got my iPod charged to show him... [But she doesn't seem

[... Funny. The last time Fujiko and he talked, Raphael was gone then, too.

But this time it's worse. This time it's possibly forever.

Robert doesn't know how much help he can be, but... his timid voice reaches out to her, tentatively, like he's afraid of being lashed out at. With most of his friends gone even temporarily, he isn't sure what to do, except... except try to help.]

... M-Ms. Mine...

[He wants to say that he's sorry, but he doesn't think it'd be good enough. Not even close to good enough.]

Hey Robert.

[Fujiko doesn't lash out at sad cases like Robert. Although if Jigen says anything, she'll probably try to claw his face off.]

How are you today?

[Feigning cheerful is ever so fun.]

[She's upset, isn't she? Robert's thrown by the sudden change of expression. It... bothers him, actually.]

I... w-wondered how you were, actually.

But... I am alright...

Fine. [Though really, she doesn't sound it. Just strained.]

Have you got anymore of those tracking chips? I left them with Raph's shuriken.

[Way to bring up the subject he wasn't certain if he should bring up.]

...

I... I am not certain if they would... have been there, even if Don and I had been able to get past prototypical ph-phases...

[Sure, he may not have liked Raph in the sense of being especially comfortable with him. But he certainly didn't hate him, and he certainly didn't want him gone.]

It's all right. I just figured in case anyone else gets kidnapped...

Che....

I don't know anymore.

[semper_cogitans]

[Softly:] I know it d-does not help, but... b-but I am sorry, and... a-and if there is some way I could assist you...

... Even, er, by c-cooking you something...? Though I am not n-nearly as proficient as Mike, but... [He'll try his best for you, Fujiko.]

Ah... thanks Robert. Maybe just drinks if you've got time? We can coffee if you're skipping the alcohol.

[Voice] | Filtered 100%

[semper_cogitans]

I have... p-plenty of time. [He actually does. Because, y'know, everybody's missing.]

C-Coffee would be... appreciated, actually. After the last few days of this m-mayhem, I am quite ready to have an acceptable energy level, and I would s-suppose the same is true for yourself... [Well, that and it would make it easier to not sleep if she doesn't want to. Robert knows that feeling.]

Ah right, I forget that you don't do well with violence, hm? [She doesn't mean that badly, she's just as willing to try hard to be nice right now.]

Coffee would be nice. Thanks.

[Quietly:] I am... t-trying to get better.

... But yes. I would enjoy it.

W-Would... would you wish to go now? Or, or do you have a better time in mind l-later...? [Either's fine with him.]

Baby steps are fine sugar.

Thanks~ Now's good. I'm out of bullets anyway.

[He's kind of glad that she's out of bullets.]

Wh-where shall I meet you, Ms. Mine? And... and would you wish to go to an establishment, or to one of our residences...?

[He has good coffee and tea at his apartment.]

Coffee shop is fine with me.

Seventh Heaven it is, then...

I will, er, go there immediately. Please... f-feel free to take your time...

[And Robert, true to his word, is off to the shop. Timidly, mind you, and paying a lot of attention to the now-normal-but-still-fear-inducing-due-to-certain-people surroundings. At least he knows Fujiko is competent so he's not quite as nervous, and being in an open area should hopefully not get him in any trouble.

... Fujiko can run into him anywhere near Seventh Heaven, looking a little anxious being there.]

[Fujiko wanders over and takes a seat near him as calmly as if she didn't want to shoot up a whole army worth.]

'ullo Robert.
