Clap your hands, all ye children - There's a clamor in your whispering - [exitvoid] inbox
Clap your hands tonight, hear what the silence screams

TO: gaignun.kukai@compass.net
FROM: urtv.669@compass.net
SUBJECT: We need to talk
MESSAGE: I'm still not sure if this is the right address, but I'm hoping it is. It's the only one this network system will give me.
Rubedo, I haven't been able to find Albedo for some time. I had hoped that he was simply sulking on his own. This place likes to disrupt the link from my end. This time, I might be wrong. Maybe you know where he is? I don't trust him enough for him to be on his own.
Another thing I want to ask: who is "gaignun.kukai"? I've made plenty of attempts to make the system edit my own address to no success. There's something you're really not telling me.
I apologize for the email first. That's overly impersonal of me, but I've been having a hard time asking in words out loud. Please get back to me soon.

[There's a good long while before he replies, if only because welp the cat's out of the bag now, plus Nigredo's e-mail confirmed what his own link had been telling him - or lack thereof would probably be the best term.
The e-mail that comes back sounds a lot more relaxed than anything close to how he's really feeling at this point, but he supposed that Nigredo would figure it out quickly enough.]
yeah, it's all kind of a really long story. There anyplace you want to meet up? It'd be easier to talk about in person.

[If it helps, the casualness of the email is actually a good thing. Nigredo's been a little on edge. Not afraid, exactly, but definitely uncertain of what to expect, which is always uncomfortable for him. The relaxed appearance did a surpringly good number on erelaxing those ruffled nerves.]
I understand. Not many people are bothering the classrooms past the quad. I've been making minor repairs to one of the farthest, that'll be the safest.
[Trust him to be industrious, yes?]

[Trust him to be industrious, yes?]
Yeah, that should work. Meet me there in a few minutes, okay? I'll explain what I can when I get there.
All right. I'll be there.
[And still making repairs. What? He couldn't sit still.]

MESSAGE: Hi I'm friends with your brother. How's he doing?

He's fine now, though I'm pretty sure that compared to before there's a lot that's better than that.
Think he's up for a visitor? I have a book of his that I think he'd like back.
Don't see why not, honestly. It'll be good for him, and I'm sure he'd appreciate seeing someone else. He's probably sick of me worrying over him.
Besides, he's mentioned you before, so it's definitely alright.

And here I was worried you'd tell me no way in hell he needs to rest or something along those lines.
Hey, I might be his big brother, but I understand that I can't watch him like a hawk all the time.
[Though there were moments he definitely regretted not being around to help, but we won't get into that.]

It's a hard lesson to learn, isn't it? I haven't enjoyed it at all.
Yeah, it is. On both counts.
I suppose it's a lesson everyone needs to learn at some point.
But thank you. For helping him when I couldn't. Even when it's hard.

It's the least I could do considering. Besides, better for me to make up for lost time now while I still got the chance.
Weren't this close to him back home, huh?
No, we're pretty close back home. Had to be, considering our circumstances.
Actually back home he's the only one I got left. More like making up for lost time from when I was gone from here.
