[VOICE]

[An SOS signal goes through on your warp band, very quickly accompanied by a young woman's voice. In the background, there is the very distinct sound of fluttering wings and screeching. She sounds as if she's running, the sound of her voice and the rampaging Zubats echoing. There also seems to be some kind of interference, as her voice keeps cutting out.]

We-- ...Zubats in-- hundreds of-- don't go in the-- requesting assis-- in--

[Then there's the sound of her warp band hitting something, and the signal becomes clear.]

That's better, this silly thing! WHACKING IT HELPED, THANK YOU EZREAL! We're being chased by Zubats, hundreds of them, in the mountains. In need of assistance, I'm not sure when they'll stop following u--

[A loud screech.]

WELL THAT WAS RUDE, I WAS TALKING JUST NOW! YOU CAN WAIT YOUR TURN!

[Another, much more indignant screech.]

...Help!

[ladyofluminosity]

[Oh Son of a Ditto, first Ky, now Fai? Suddenly the cloud of raging Zubats seemed like the least of her worries.]

No, none of us are hurt, just... running for our lives.

[Which, all things considered, she sounds fairly calm about.]

[comparative_insanity]

[There is a fairly lengthy litany of very colorful words which his parents definitely don't know that he knows, before he remembers who he's talking to.]

Savior, I'm sorry, I just- I'm a bit caught up in something and I'm not sure if anyone of us really know where we are at the moment. Are you sure you're going to be alright?

[ladyofluminosity]

[Wow a lot of those are ones she hasn't heard before, and she blinks a few times, wide-eyed, at her warp band.]

You--what?

[Now is her turn to worry. Yes, she can worry about someone else while running for her life, this is Lux we're talking about, she has the best priorities.]

What's going on? Are you all right?

[comparative_insanity]

We're perfectly fine, really! [Well, now at least, he's not actually sure if he's in danger or not. Maybe whatever that roaring noise was just wanted to say hi?]

Anyway, Yuui and Feliks have totally got this. [Notice how he doesn't add himself there. God he hates caves.]

Look, just- don't worry about me, okay? Just get yourself to safety.

[ladyofluminosity]

[Back up two steps there, Fai. Time for some tough love, dear brother fiance.]

You're in the caves, and you expect me not to worry about you? Fai, I know you better than this! Your brother knows you better than this! Savior knows why you're here in the first place.

[comparative_insanity]

[Eeeep, busted. He grimaces, happy that she can't see him, but from the forced cheerfulness in his voice a moment later she can probably guess what kind of smile he's wearing.]

It's really not that bad, you know. I mean, it's a bit scary, but I think I'm starting to get used to it! And they needed everyone who could to help, right? Oh, and Yuui's with me, he'll look after me. [That's right, appeal to higher authorities, great job.]

[ladyofluminosity]

[There's a heavy silence on her end (well, outside of rampaging Zubats, are they thinning out a little?). When she comes back, her voice is very firm, despite her slowly becoming winded from running.]

I want you to leave if you get in too far over your head.

[This very much wasn't a request.]

[comparative_insanity]

[He sighs, because he knows an order when he hears one, and honestly... honestly leaving sounds incredibly tempting. But he has to stick it out for a while longer.]

I promise, Lux. But I'm telling the truth, there really isn't much danger right now. It's just... you know, me being silly about enclosed spaces, it's not a big deal.

[ladyofluminosity]

[If she wasn't running for her life, she would press her point further.]

I know that, that's why I'm worri--EXCUSE YOU!

Sorry, that one got a bit close.

Sorry~

[for_realsies]

CAN YOU TWO DO THIS LATER!?

Now isn't the time.

*Hi Fai, that was Imogen, through Lux's warp band.*

Dogpile! 1/2

[niepokonany]

Seconded to the max, things might get kinda real here in a sec, too--

[niepokonany]

...Wait, Imogen?!

[Somewhere, Jadwiga is quite sure that she's getting a talking-to for allowing Feliks to do this.]

[comparative_insanity]

At least tell me you're not alo-

[Well, he was going to say "alone" but then there's Imogen's voice, and Fai relaxes visibly. It's amazing how much he trusts that girl when it comes to fixing things. Eeeeeeven if it's a bit awkward that she knows Lux.]

Okay, you both look after each other, because if either of you get hurt I'm going to fuss dreadfully, and no one wants that. I mean it, miss Luxanna. [And then he turns to Feliks with a wan little smile.] I guess I shouldn't be surprised that you know Imogen too. [Awesome! But kind of also awkward.]

[ladyofluminosity]

[Wow this got confusing fast.]

A small world indeed.

[Although somehow she feels like she's missing a lot in this.]

I will, but I want you to be careful too!

[for_realsies]

*Imogen made a note to question how Feliks found Fai, but only after she came up with good explanations for how she knows Fai and what she's doing with Lux not telling Fai.*

Still not the time! We will all be careful and talk later.

[niepokonany]

Yeah, let's all hang out and talk all about it when nobody's getting swarmed by anything!

[Or eaten by roaring beasts!]

[comparative_insanity]

It would be easier to finish this conversation if people weren't butting in.

[This snapped rather testily at all y'all rubbernecking.]

And I promise I'll be careful. Oh, and maybe using some kind of bait to direct their attention from you might be a good idea.
