[Cue Dohalim almost startled from his window perch, where he was expecting a lovely, thoughtful letter in reply-- only to receive a slightly post-pubescent screech instead. Teenagers.]
YES?! I didn't even know you were— when did you— have you just been here the whole time?! I've been looking for you guys everywhere!
( "the whole time" being however many couple of weeks it's been since he got here, himself, but also he can't be bothered to be specific when he's this jarred. )
( it's not acceptable to call him out like this when he is in such a State. he sputters a little. )
I-It's not about missing you, dummy! How can you be so calm about this? We all just woke up in random places and the only people I've found so far are Shionne and Rinwell! And... someone else I know, I guess, but—
( but he's not ready to talk about his dad for fear of dohalim questioning his sanity, WE'LL GET TO THAT. )
That's the same thing that happened to me. We were on the Falneitz, and then... suddenly I was here and you guys were all missing. I've seen some really messed up stuff since I got here, Dohalim. I didn't know if you were—y'know, safe.
Losing one's composure won't change the situation we're in. I've learned much from observing the coteries, their leaders, and those who have come before us. From what I understand, we may be here for some time... so we may as well make the best of it.
I'm sorry you've been alone, and that things have been difficult for you.
Should you like to talk about it, I am always here to listen.
Yeah, that's... that's what I figured, too. I'm fine, but uh—did you find any of the others? And what'd you learn? And where are you? Wait, you said Kiichpan? Augh, that's so far! I didn't even make it halfway there the first time I tried. Jaguar told me it's the biggest city on Copalli, so I thought maybe you guys would be there, but... it didn't go so good. I met Rinwell on the way, though. She's okay, too, last I saw.
Rinwell and I have plans to meet and you're welcome to join us. She's coming here to take time away from Coba, which as I've heard... is unsafe, disorganized, and dirty.
They allow monsters to roam the streets, and don't have proper guards or gates. I cannot stomach the idea of her alone there in such a place. I have no doubt that Rinwell is entirely capable of bearing it alone, but she shouldn't have to.
Kiichpan, on the other hand, is very well-appointed. It reminds me of Elde Menancia. You both need to see it. My quarters aren't large, but they're acceptably comfortable.
[Very nice by normal-people standards. Passing for lords of expensive taste.]
I would even go so far as to sleep on the floor to ensure room for you both.
[Pride detectable in his voice. Dohalim is so very generous and brave and has come very far from the man who slept on a feather bed with silk sheets... changed out every day.
( he left rinwell WHERE NOW?? he hadn't wanted to leave her by herself at all, frankly, but coba seemed decent, the eagles were nice enough to them, and he had to get back to tikal to check in. she'd said she would be okay, and he thought she would be safe there outside of the incense— but of course she wouldn't have said anything to him, because he was in such a state: injured, out of it, a mess.
sighing. )
Dammit. Yeah, I want to be there, too. I—uhhhhh, you really don't have to do that. It must be serious if you're actually offering, though.
I know. It's rather base, isn't it? One wouldn't think it so difficult to at least have a gate. Even with a tight budget.
[Seriously. Eagle must have some money-management issues. Dohalim is frivolous with his own money, but Viscint always had everything it needed to function.]
Perfect. Then we should make arrangements to meet. Maybe you could escort Rinwell from Coba, and I could meet you halfway. And of course I'm serious. I want to see you both more than anything.
There is... that issue in Tikal to contend with first, however.

Weeks? That seems highly implausible, before I woke up here you were standing right beside me. We were all together.

The floor can't be that uncomfortable, can it?]
