[redcloakedthief]

[The man on the screen might seem familiar to some. He keeps to himself, keeps to the shadows, but he is around nonetheless. After all...Vatheon is like another home, these days.

But he seems worn, tired. His expression is a smile, but...There is something off about it, and before he speaks he runs a hand through messy brown hair.]It seems like

[Ah? Who could be calling? He almost doesn't answer - and before he does he wipes his face, trying to get most of the blood and tears off of it.]

... You do?

[He doesn't know him... what could he have for him?]

[redcloakedthief]

[A breath. His flat expression exchanges for a wry smile.]

That's right. I'll come deliver it, then.

[Click!

Note that he doesn't bother to ask where Katsu is.

...In a place such as Vatheon, he tends to know.]

[Action]

[angelphones]

[He's nearing the forest quadrant, but stops at that message. He didn't even ask where he was...]

[Oh well. He'll just wait here a few minutes... then he'll move on.]

[Action forever and ever]

[redcloakedthief]

[Those few minutes are all he needs to track down the other, through a combination of process of elimination, knowledge of the direction he had been heading in, and a certain skill.

He cleaned the sword. Be grateful that he is thorough in all things, Katsu, because he stalks up silently and offers it to the other, hilt first.]

[aimforthesun]

... What brought this on?

[redcloakedthief]

[...]

Haha, just a thought, really!

[aimforthesun]

... Do you really expect anyone to believe that?

[redcloakedthief]

[...:T]

Yes. Yes I do. It would figure that you wouldn't, though.

[sweeperesque]

Please don't do anything rash.

[First thought. Always the first thought. She can't help him if he runs off and does something ridiculous.

Because familiar as they are, it would be insulting to think that she couldn't figure out what was wrong.]

Where to?

[Filter]

[redcloakedthief]

I'm not. I've been busy performing last requests.

[That bitter tone he is not even bothering to hide.]

Wherever. Pick a place.

[Filter]

[sweeperesque]

... Closest to the marketplace, then. Let me take care of some stuff too.

[Because she knows that once she's there, she won't leave him.]

[Filter --> Action]

[redcloakedthief]

I'll be there.

[Click!

And with a sigh, he tucks the SFC away and sets out. He'll be on a roof, avoiding people, staring down at the marketplace with an unreadable expression.]

You speak as if this place means to torture us instead of just keeping us for energy.

[redcloakedthief]

[He grins, brightly.]

Do you have proof to the contrary?

[Video]

[threeofthree]

No. I am just curious as to why you think so.

[Video]

[redcloakedthief]

Because I have been here for nearly 16 months.

It's pretty simple when you think about it.

[integrious]

... Is everything all right, Matthew?

[redcloakedthief]

Of course, Lord Eliwood! Simply making an announcement of sorts!

[integrious]

[...]

You seem tired.

[redcloakedthief]

[...ah.]

...Things happen. You understand, right, milord?

Nothing to worry about.
