[ 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.
How can I help you?

Well, I'm not. First time we've seen each other, yeah?

I don't object to it, either. [ off to the courtyard they go, then! aquila keeps pace with emet-selch easily, arms folded behind their back.
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?

There's still much to be done, but I suppose a bit of time is available. What is it you wish to speak about?
's fair.
[ 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?

All eight of us did seem excessive... but in any case, we have a schedule, and this week so happened to coincide with theirs.
