[Konoe looks a bit sleep-deprived and in need of haircut, but otherwise everything seems to be in order. He's set up his fans to sit on a table, and as it's turned on he backs away with his hand on his hip and a satisfied nod, before coming back to crouch in front of the camera.]

Long time no see? I apologize if anyone's been looking for me, I've

Trouble?

[Have a genuinely concerned look. Seems like it's fairly easy to get into trouble in this place. Kiyoha even got ... he shakes his head as his thoughts wander and he does his best to get back on track.]

Sorry to hear about your friends... maybe they were able to finally go home?

[His smiles returns, going back home, wouldn't that be nice? His expression changes of course as Konoe brings the tiny thing with tentacles into view.]

What is that thing!?

[He's not sure if he should be surprised or intrigued. He's just never seen anything like it so he's not too sure what to think.]

[alkahestry]

[Calming slowly he nods a little.]

Directions will suffice... I wouldn't want to trouble you if you were busy with other things.

[tailcrook]

I get around best by sight... [Not often praised for his directions, this one.] I could try if you recorded yourself walking there... is this for Theo?

[alkahestry]

If the natives were nicer it would make things easier.

[Here a couple a weeks and they still insisted he smell. He sighs softly at the thought before he starts to nod.]

Yeah. He's been eating stuff that I bring up from the kitchens, but I figure I should find him a better food source. Mr. Nagi's being nice enough to let me keep him, I just need to do a few extra chores, but that doesn't cover the food I take for him. Now that I have some money, I figured I'd try to get over there to take a look.

They aren't unless you've been around for long, no. But it's a good idea to try anyway... never let him go hungry, Alphonse.

[It isn't as though he doesn't trust him to be responsible. Just any mention of a food problem feels like a red flag. He never wants to see someone starve again, and concern over even a temporary hunger shows up on his face.]

Just say the word and I'll help you two.

[alkahestry]

I promise.

[Alphonse would starve himself first before he let another person or animal in this case go hungry. Cats especially, and Konoe has his silent promise on keep Theo well fed and happy. As for the rest he gives a thoughtful hmmm before adding...]

Come out with me then? We can go shopping for him together.

[tailcrook]

[He's relieved to hear it aloud, his ear giving a distracted flick as he calms down.]

Okay. How soon?

[Earflickissocute.]

Whenever is best for you! My own schedule's pretty open. So if today isn't good we can first thing in the morning.
