[Here's a certain person, waiting exactly where Raine would expect him to be. Because it's not like he can go anywhere else. "Waiting" may not be the right word either, considering her company is one of the last things he's waiting for.

Mithos had been reading - the one book brought to him by Yuan that he hadn't turned into a projectile weapon (not that he hadn't tried) - up until he heard someone approaching. Setting the book aside, he stands. No greeting is offered aside from a cold glare.]

[No, but he should get used to it anyway.

Right now, however, the meeting is being made for a reason. One she'd rather not be the case, but she doesn't know how much knowledge Mithos even has of these things.]

... Mithos. There's a matter that I need to discuss with you.

[imatreenow]

...If you're just going to talk about the same stupid nonsense as before, I don't want to hear it.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

No, it has nothing to do with that.

Or maybe it does, in a way. Are you familiar with the drafts?

[action]

[imatreenow]

Yes, I'm aware that this world too is caught up in a foolish war.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

A foolish war indeed.

... They announced the list just earlier, in any case. Would you like to see the details?

[He has a feeling that he knows where this is headed, and he isn't very pleased. His expression doesn't change; pokerface for now.]

Show me.

[She hands him a few copied papers, detailing the list and the specifics.]

I can play back the broadcast as well.

[imatreenow]

[He curtly takes the offered papers from her hand and immediately glances the draftee list over. ...As he suspected. So he's to be a pawn for their captors to use. His strong disdain mingles with a sense of relief, from seeing that Martel is not included on the list. He still doesn't like the idea of her being all alone, but being alone at the house is a much better alternative to being with him on the battlefield.]

...I demand to hear it.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

I thought you might.

[He should be glad that he's getting any of this information at all. If Yuan had a say... in any case, she navigates her journal toward that particular entry, letting the voices play.]

[action]

[imatreenow]

[If he weren't imprisoned he wouldn't have to rely on her for the information. So no courtesy for you. Not that he would bother with politeness anyway. He just quietly listens to the commandant's announcement with a look of cold hatred. The information given is far more vague than he would like, but at least he knows what the date is now. Before, he hadn't even any idea of how long his abduction had lasted.

When the transmission finishes, he remains quiet for a moment before--] I need to request supplies. [No, he isn't going to ask her if he can do so. He just expects results.]

[action]

[wise_maiden]

Understandably. We will have a window of opportunity to make requests... unless you mean to put them in now.

[She already has an idea of what he might request. There isn't really a way she can prevent against it, either.]

[action]

[imatreenow]

[A scoff, and then flatly-] Would it not be better to make a request as soon as possible?

[He isn't taking any chances with this. The way he is now, he begrudgingly knows that his ability to protect himself as he'd like in such a situation is...uncertain. Far less certain than he cares for.]
