video; | evening

[Well, so much for feeling better finally.

Ioder looks a bit worried when he comes up on the network this evening. He's fidgeting, tugging at little strands of blonde below his ear and looking for all the world like an anxious child waiting for news of something.]

Ah... just... in case anyone is looking for her, my cousin Estellise seems to have left. Her name is no longer on the residency list and I can't get through to her voice mail.

[He forces a smile, though, as if trying to convince himself of something that he's struggling to believe is true.]

But... I'm sure it's just temporary. Yuri came back, after all.

[There's a little more fidgeting, and the forced smile quickly fades. He hesitates, but after a moment he reaches forward and turns the feed off]

[ There's a pause as Yuri sighs, looking around the house. Finally, he closes his eyes, seating himself on a nearby chair and shrugging nonchalantly. Or attempting to as best he could, anyway. ]

... better she's at home than here, your Majesty. With what's going on now, at least we both know that she's safe and sound.

Oh, but... she's so much better at looking out for herself than I am. I'm sure she would have been fine!

[Yeah okay that denial miiight be going a bit deep there.]

Even so... I'd still wonder, especially with this particular problem we're having...

[ ... Ioder r u ok ]

[Noooot really.]

I'm... sure something would have been done about it soon enough. Right? There's a lot of people who are upset about it after all.

Your Majesty...

[ Cue Yuri hopping off his comfortable position and waving a hand in front of Ioder's face, frowning a little. ]

[This is sad news... He remembers the last conversation he had with her was to comfort her about exactly this sort of thing happening, and now she too was gone. Perhaps she would return, and perhaps not, but for now he will allow his friend to keep that hope.]

I will miss her in the meantime. For now though, I am glad she is at least safe from the monster that is in our midst.

... y-yes, well... I'm sure if she were still here, she would have been able to handle herself if the need arised...

[Yup that's some good denial right there.]

...I don't mean to be harsh, but the first of the victims found alive is one of the most powerful individuals of his time on the planet my distant ancestors were born on. If this individual can capture such a person, then just about anyone could be taken if caught by surprise.

[Don't mind the bite to his tone, it's just born of worry.]

[Noooo Dhaos don't poke holes in his denial. He just wants to belieeeeve]

... I... I suppose that's true... but surely they would have been caught eventually! With so many people affected, it's not as if everyone is standing idly by doing nothing!

Of course not. The moment whoever did this began harming others, their loved ones began to band together to find and destroy the killer.

And for what this monster has done to one whom I consider family, I will break each individual bone in his limbs, though I'm sure the boy's father will do much worse.

[Now that is a naturally overprotective personality reinforced by trauma-based insanity showing its face there.]

.... Ah.

*Rita doesn't say anything more, and disconnects promptly.*

[At least this wouldn't be a complete repeat of the last time he tried to talk to the kid after someone left.

No promises actually.]

Did ya ever finish those illustrations for her?

[Not a complete repeat, but it's clear he's upset in some capacity and trying very hard to not let it show.]

Almost... the rest of her stories were left in her room, though...

She was the one with pink hair, right?

Yes, that's correct.

Oh. I'm sorry. I liked her!

She seemed to be well liked here. That makes me glad, actually. If nothing else, she at least left a good impression.

[Oh.

Well then.

Figures.]

Sorry to break it to you Highness, but if she's not on the list and no voice mail I'd say she's been sent home.

[He may sound like he doesn't care one way or the other but honestly? The bubble got a bit darker for him knowing Estelle's not in it any longer.]

[Ioder really isn't in any mood to make a big deal over Zelos' attitude. He simply frowns and shakes his head.]

I'm aware. But people do return sometimes.

Well, yeah...

[Normally he'd tell the kid not to hold to thin hope but after everything Ioder's been through lately he can't quite bring himself to dash that hope.

Besides, you can't be a hypocrite all the time; if he were honest, Zelos is hoping she'll come back too.]

Guess we gotta keep things in shape for when that happens, eh?

[What the hell am I doing?]

... y-yes, of course!

[Somewhere in the back of Ioder's mind, he recognizes what Zelos is trying to do.

And actually, as strange as it is, he's grateful for it. A smile smile appears, and he nods in agreement.]

I should finish those illustrations for her.

She was sent home, then...?

[He didn't know her incredibly well. But she seemed like such a wonderful girl.

Sigh.]

If she returns, then she returns. It's not something you can really predict. [Ioder's been here long enough to know that. Not gonna fall for that "talk myself into believing other things" mess, that doesn't help.] And right now, I think she'd be safer back home.

Don't worry yourself too much over it. Alright, Ioder?

[That's what everyone has been saying, but in his own weird way he's really uncertain about that.

But part of that is trying to accept that he's been separated from his cousin yet again.

He's not handling it well.]

... I'll try not to...

Sounds like you're not very sure about that.

[Yeah, he can tell. Just a tad. :|]

...Fretting isn't going to bring her back any faster, you know. You need to trust that she's going to be just fine until you see one another again. Otherwise, you're just going to run yourself to the ground.

... I... know.

[He knows. But it doesn't stop him from feeling a bit broken about it. Estellise is his only remaining family, after all.]
