...Yeah. I... yeah.

[That had been his intent anyway, but to hear it spoken aloud is helpful, so he doesn't object to being told, even if it's a little obvious. Maybe he could stand to be more honest sometimes; Sorey always understood what he meant regardless of what he said - it's just how they were - but surely it would be more reassuring if his words reflected his thoughts, wouldn't it? The armatus wouldn't feel so necessary if that were the case. Instead of channeling his feelings through the connection, just. Use his perfectly functional mouth for more than just attitude.

He's... not always good at it, but with Sorey, when it matters, he'll do it. He just has to make sure he gets the words out before Sorey does anything rash like try to run away again.]

I need to contact the others first. Dezel and Zaveid- they're connected to Sorey, too- if something's happening to him, I have to tell them.

[He's going to try his damnedest to make this right. But. But.]

I'll... reconnect, though. You're right. Someone has to know.

[Nightingale is, well... To call her a KY is an understatement. She is so full of doubt and second-guessing herself, she has trouble with anything that isn't said aloud.

(There's a small guilty pang- She didn't know about these other two. If she's talking this much about being their friends, shouldn't she have known that more people were connected to Sorey? But she shoves that out of her head.)]

I understand. I'll be here. Just be sure you're back before you get planetside, okay? I'll be researching from the network up here if there's any obvious places without people he might go.

Right. I'll get the others to try the link, too.

[If he was feeling truly desperate and had no other alternatives, he could try to force an armatization from a distance- he'd go directly to Sorey's body wherever he is, assuming it worked. But he doesn't trust Sorey's reaction to that, and it feels wrong to do it on his end only- like Dezel with Rose, when he'd taken over her body.

Not to mention that would put him directly at the core of Sorey's domain, and as things stand right now...

...ugh, how did he miss this? Is he really that naive, or did his faith in Sorey just utterly blind him to what was happening? Is he malevolent already, too?

Don't overthink. Just focus. You can do this.]

...Nightingale... thank you.

[He hangs up - there's no time to waste - but he had to let it be known how important this is, how much she's helped. The rest is up to him.]
