[ when emet-selch rings the bell, a shadow appears before him, and out of it steps... aquila! they brush themselves off absently and tilt their head up.... and up... to look at him. ]
Well, you're even bigger in person, huh? Cameras don't really cut it.
Felt kinda invasive to just read all your stuff. I know enough, cause of your files, but...
[ there's a faint smile in their voice as they turn their head back to the statue. ]
...I like to get to know people myself. Think you get a better picture that way. And besides, after a shit day like this, it's nice to talk about something good, isn't it?

Well, you're even bigger in person, huh? Cameras don't really cut it.
How can I help you?
no subject
[and for some distance from everyone after being in a room for 9 hours with all of them suffering over evidence...]
But yes, thank you, I am well aware of my relative size.
no subject
[ there's amusement in their voice as they say this. ] We can talk. Do you want to stay here, or go somewhere else?
no subject
[a brief exhale of a breath.]
But we may go elsewhere, as I do not particularly care to linger around a desk for conversation when I am not working.
no subject
You and I both. You got a favorite spot in particular? We can go take a walk.
no subject
[save for the statue of his other self and the ones of the residents, it's nice? he can ignore those.]
no subject
it's very twilight out here, but it does feel nice! everything is very pretty still, including the statues he's ignoring. aquila glances up at him. ]
So? What do you want to talk about?
no subject
[he says, with a sigh.
he does linger a little near the chroma statues, but just a little.]
no subject
[ they say, and come to a stop when emet does, glancing at the statues. they tilt their head, veil tilting a bit with the movement. ]
These're the ones from your Prism, yeah? Were you close to them?
no subject
[not to say that he didn't like the others, but, you know. fret is adopted.]
no subject
Which?
no subject
This one, [he says with a nod to fret's statue.]
Fret, though I met him as Bass. We were assigned to work together.
no subject
Looks young. What kind of work?
no subject
[he gives them a curious glance.]
Do you not know of our histories?
no subject
[ there's a faint smile in their voice as they turn their head back to the statue. ]
...I like to get to know people myself. Think you get a better picture that way. And besides, after a shit day like this, it's nice to talk about something good, isn't it?
no subject
[he finally turns from the statue.]
I had somewhat hoped this would not come to pass.
no subject
[ they continue to look at the statue for a moment longer before they turn their gaze back towards emet with a soft swish of fabric. ]
no subject
[starting thursday night.]
no subject
with a little wryness; ] ...Did you really have any faith in that hope? [ because you don't really seem like the optimist, emet ]
no subject
...Not fully. But there are some I know who I think would insist I hope for it regardless.
no subject
aquila huffs a little though. ]
Prism taught you to be an optimist? Or someone in specific?
no subject
no subject
and then, playfully: ] Welllll? You gonna tell me about them?
no subject
but that's probably easily explained by the answer, which is:]
He is who I am here for.
no subject
Your hostage. Vax'ildan, wasn't it?
[ that's the name. ] It's sort of silly to say 'he must be important to you', considering. You wanna tell me about him?
