[goldilocked]

[It's around seven in the morning. Cheery, maybe a little dull morning, but the sun is up and Jack's nursing a cup of coffee at some café like he hasn't been missing a week. Two weeks. Whatever.]

God damn it.

[He hisses softly, pinching the bridge of his nose.]Haven't changed much, Siren's Port. A little bit more rainy, though. Anyone know how to

Aiyah~ I know a rather fast way. Squeeze some fresh lemon into black coffee, just be sure to sip it and not gulp. You can thank me once you're feeling better~

[...]

That's going to end up more sugar than tea.

[He says observantly, as he watches Xerxes move in turn. He hasn't woken up yet, back home.]

[action]

[break_xerxes]

Perhaps. I'm the one drinking it, you shouldn't be so concerned for me.

[Stop watching him so close, he can tell you're doing it, Riem does the same thing.]

Its rude to stare, Mister Jack.

[goldilocked]

[He jerks back. What. How did he-

:|a maybe he doesn't have vision problems. What did Oz know about Break...]

I- well, I apologise. You...are a high-ranking member of Pandora, correct?

[action]

[break_xerxes]

[Even when he had his sight, the feeling of eyes upon you is one Break had grown able to detect.

That creepy little brat, knew about as much as anyone else, or as much as Duke Barma decided to share.]

Are you telling me that you're staring at me because I'm a high-ranking member of Pandora? ... or does that question have something to do with what you mentioned before, over the network?

[action]

[goldilocked]

Both. Pandora was created after my time.

[He frowns at Break.]

Only two seals out of the five remain intact.

[break_xerxes]

[Well, you're just full of bad news today, aren't you Jack..]

Is that so? ... we're in a spot of bother then, aren't we?

[Tacking another sugar lump between his finger and thumb, rolling it, as slowly it crumbled into what was left of his tea.]

What of Elliot? ... and Vincent? you said something about Gilbert, so assume something ill has occurred within the Nightray house?

[action]

[goldilocked]

A spot of bother. It's a very large spot.

[Jack leans back into his seat.]

Elliot is dead; he rejected his Chain. Vincent has defected from the Nightray family and taken Elliot's servant, Leo, from Pandora.

[break_xerxes]

[Break takes it in. So, his hatred of your little servant holds some more merit to it now.]

Humpty Dumpty was destroyed too then? And the Fianna children? have they returned to normal?

[He's hardly surprised Vincent has gone and done something like this, filthy rat.. ]

And I assumed Gilbert knows?

[action]

[goldilocked]

[DON'T TOUCH VINCENT. OR ANY OF THE BASKERVILLES. EVER.]

Yes. Pandora was conducting a full investigation when Barnard was found dead.

[He takes a deep breath.]

He was beheaded. I'm not sure Gilbert knows how he died, but he knows most of it.

[action]

[break_xerxes]

[You're making my job harder, Jack... just step back, and let Pandora deal with this.]

I see... so your next plan of action is what exactly? we're a long way from Pandora, what are you suggesting we do?

[He's more curious than anything, Breaks been given his orders straight from Pandora when they were home, nothing is going to change that, Vincent must be caught and stopped... but he'd rather see what you have to say, Jack... not that it will change how he feels of course.]
