[asea]

[At first, all that can be heard is the low, muffled sounds of talking and utensils clicking against plates in a restaurant. That's in the background; Walter himself has yet to order and thus sits in silence, waiting. Within a minute or two, a familiar waitress approaches and he shifts, moving to put the communicator away.]

Hello! . . . am I interrupting?

What?

Isn't it on?

[Walter looks at "it," and only then does he realize that the communicator in his grasp is indeed on. Perhaps misinterpreting his silence, there's a not so subtle mirth behind the waitress' voice.]

I'll come back later. Please don't be shy!

Wait . . .

[The communicator picks up on her fading footsteps. Following a pregnant pause, Walter goes to turn the device off.]

[spiria]

Huh ... that voice sounds familiar ... where have I heard it?

video; 2/2

[spiria]

... Oh!

No-Name! Hey there, how's it goin'?

audio;

[asea]

[ And he recognizes that voice all too well. While he doesn't switch modes, he does respond. ]

Why do you want to know?

audio;

[spiria]

Awww, I can't be interested in the well-being of a friend?

[ you're doomed, Walter. she considers you a friend. or does she? IT'S A MYSTERY. ]

audio;

[asea]

I'm not your friend.

[ HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THIS MYSTERY. ]

audio;

[spiria]

You wound me, No-Name. Really, you do.

Ahhh, well, I can still think of you as a friend regardless, I guess.

[messianic]

[It takes him a moment to place the voice. At first he just responds.]

It's alright; they have really bad tim--

[...]

Walter-san?

Video; yep, this is a threadjack

[spiria]

He has a name! I wasn't sure if he had one!

not here;

[asea]

[ Except he is, and frankly, he finds her response to be ridiculous -- ridiculous enough that he ignores it. ]

Video; sup moehaku

[messianic]

[THUMBS UP]

He does, though it took me awhile to find it.

Video; rjgbrkgn h-hi minato what is that nickname

[spiria]

I've just been callin' him 'No-name.' He refused to tell me his name, so.

Video; it's just accurate okay

[messianic]

Yes, he refused to tell me too. I had to find out another way.

But I'm glad to hear that you're talking with him too.

Video; not moe!! .... okay kinda moe.

[spiria]

Pfff, It's like talking to a brick wall, I swear. I think at this point I keep talking to him just to irritate him more.

[ AT LEAST SHE'S HONEST ABOUT IT. ]

audio; like a rebel

[asea]

[Indeed, and he's more miffed by how she left rather than the implications behind her words. That brief annoyance is forgotten when he recognizes Minato in the screen.]

What do you want?

Puppyjack, line of thought continued from the above puppyjack. Video;

[sonlight]

Arf! [Yes, he's totally got it! Three-way-conversations!

He is solving so many puzzles today. You're totally proud of him, right?]

video; this is so beautiful

[messianic]

[...headtilt.]

Is that a dog, Walter-san?

video;

[asea]

[Why did it follow him here -- ]

. . . It's a wolf.

[It looks more like a wolf pup than a dog to him, anyway.]

audio; /touches

[cinnaponpuppy]

[Oh hey! He might actually recognize that place. ]

You should try the cake there. They are really great.

[And then he remembered something important from his expression.] The pancakes are the best too! If you have room, you should try those too. There is one with cinnamon roll filling in between the layers. It's like eating a cinnapon!

audio; c:

[asea]

[ . . . He should just hang up.]

I'm not here for dessert.

Puppyjack! audio;

[sonlight]

[There is suddenly a lot of barking on the feed.]

Arf, arf! Woof? Aroooooooo! Yip!

video;

[contemptibility]

[Sneeeeeeeeeeeeeeerk.

That is all.]

audio;

[asea]

[Walter's grip on the communicator tenses when he sees that infuriating expression, but his own frown is lost between screens due to his lack of visual input to the device.

As well, he says nothing.

That is, until -- ]

Puppyjack! video;

[sonlight]

[One wolf pup busts in on the conversation, barking indignantly.

Hey, water-smelling-guy! One of your friends is trying to talk to you, here! Don't ignore him. :<]

video;

[contemptibility]

[... Pffffffffffff.]

I see you've managed to make a friend.

video;

[asea]

[Friend. Says who?]

It's not a friend.

[He's never wanted such things.]
