[ THE WATCH // 93% ]

Valeria has left again. I'm not sure if it will be permanent or not, but... once again, I intend to take over as leader in her absence.

If there are objections, or other suggestions, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Aside from this, I'll be looking for someone to take over as second. [As he was, when Val was around.]

[He's quiet himself, for a moment, thinking how to answer. Best to be open, he decides.]

I have reason to believe something along those lines is happening to Yosuke.

He isn't acting like himself. With some of the recent circumstances, I'd be willing to believe it was due to those, but...

When I look at him while holding onto iron, I can see something holding onto his neck.

[ FILTERED FROM YOSUKE // 93% ]

[toplay_thefool]

I don't.

[And, calm though he is, it's clear he doesn't like it.]

I'm hoping that someone else will have some kind of experience, though.

[shamanisticrage]

No. If the Fae are capable of such, it's unknown to me. Why do you ask?

[Audio // filter]

[toplay_thefool]

I'm concerned about Yosuke.

Next time you see him, look at him while holding iron. You'll see it.

[Audio // filter]

[shamanisticrage]

I will see to his well being. The Fae will not harm one of my students so easily.

[Audio // filter]

[toplay_thefool]

Right. We'll find a way to get rid of it.

[endofdaydream]

... Are you sure you can handle all of that?

[ Her tone doesn't sound cynical or doubting for once since - well, for all what she has seen out of Souji she knows that he's perfectly capable of handling such a task. It's more the proportions of all the things he takes on that concern Ange.

Then again, she's never been one for taking on too many responsibility all at once. Who would she be to judge? ]

[ watch filter ]

[toplay_thefool]

[His silence is thoughtful. But then he simply bows his head in a nod.]

I can.

None of us are in this alone, after all.

[ watch filter ]

[endofdaydream]

[ Well, that.. isn't something she's used to, a sense of group. There's a nod back at him as well though. ]

Ask me if you need help with anything.

I suppose I still owe you one, so.

[ watch filter ]

[toplay_thefool]

[He smiles. It's brief, very brief - but earnest.]

Thank you.

[watch + yosuke filter]

[unholy_rebirth]

Tell me if you need any assistance, Souji...

[As for the fae thing...her furry brows knit together.]

I have encountered such a fae before. It appeared as a shadowy form over Duibhin.

[watch + yosuke filter]

[toplay_thefool]

[He gives a grateful nod, but turns his focus to what she said about Duibhin.]

And you got rid of it?

[watch + yosuke filter]

[unholy_rebirth]

[Now unsure.]

It disappeared....[But....she doesn't really know how. 8( ]

[watch + yosuke filter]

[toplay_thefool]

...Hn. [That complicates things. He's thoughtful.]

Did... Duibhin seem different before it disappeared? Did his mood lighten the moment it did?

[herolegs]

[chie sighs deeply. she hates this - knowing adachi is around, probably plotting something horrible (because that's what he is, that's what he does) and she can't do anything about it. powerless.]

I don't trust him, Leader.

[but she trusts souji. he's never let them down, not once in the entire time she's known him.]

But I guess if that's what you think is best ...

[voice - returned on truthreachers filter, etc.]

[toplay_thefool]

[He doesn't show how relieved that makes him.]

Thanks, Chie-chan.

[voice - returned on truthreachers filter, etc.]

[herolegs]

I'm still gonna keep an eye on him, though!

[voice - returned on truthreachers filter, etc.]

[toplay_thefool]

Right. We all are.
