Good idea. I think a lot of us could use something to look forward to after all that.

[ The second message takes a few minutes to go through. Typing with one hand is hard. ]

How are you holding up?

i'm cool! mostly just sleeping it off. kinda don't want to go near a cave ever again, tho.

Good! And likewise. Too bad it's a part of my job, but I just filed for a good long vacation. If Ceilto doesn't like it, then he can deal.

I was thinking about taking an extended trip actually.

yeah? i might go hang out up in the mountains for a while, enjoy the cold. what about you, where are you thinking?

Sanctuary. I have a bit of research I want to do. A favor for a friend who told me he wanted to know more about homunculi a while back. I need to make good on that.

oh

[ he's... oh. he didn't expect anyone to go so far as to actually do research for him. no matter how helpful Lux had been, and even if she did now consider him a friend - he figured it would end when there was no information to be found in Union. this is something he's always pursued on his own, and he just thought it always would be. ]

you don't need to be all secretive, by the way, most people know. i was pretty loud about it. hey, think you could try to find out how the other homunculi are doing while you're there? i wasn't all that happy with how the negotiations ended.

I hadn't realized.

Of course! That was on my agenda. I'll admit that I'm a bit worried about that too. I wasn't there for the negotiations myself, but from what I heard they were very non-committal. I will tell you everything I find out.

The benefits of being a noblewoman and a senior member of the Seekers is that I'm afforded certain respect and privileges wherever I go. Not to mention I know my way around a library. If I can use those things to help someone else, all the better.

I'll make sure to make the party. I have someone I'd like you to meet.

yeah they said they'd set up rehab or something but it's IN sanctuary + we don't have anyone to check on it and i don't trust magi. kinda makes me antsy leaving any homunculi in sanctuary, i want them out. thanks for helping out, i'm glad someone else is working on this too.

uhhhh ok?? is this the good kind of meet or the bad ominous "meet"

Of course that's what friends do, they help each other! Besides I can't leave well enough alone once I'm invested I will find what I'm looking for.

Good I promise! You'll like him. He's my fiance. Not the one my father arranged. Well my father did arrange this but it's complicated. I can explain more in person.

i didn't think friendship meant agreeing to hunt down info about confidential human experiments, but i'll keep that in mind.

and you're SURE you want me to meet him.

[ he's not used to being introduced to people, and he's... not entirely sure how to handle it. he's not really a shining beacon of anything except mischief. ]

That's only one of the many perks with having me as a friend. It's as much to my benefit as it is to yours. I am pretty nosy or so I've been told.

Yes. He's not what you would expect. He's a "dirty delver" for starters. Not someone I would describe as high society.

oh yeah? what are these other perks i get?

pretty sure you & me have REALLY different ideas of high society, but i'll take your word for it! make sure you talk me up, make me sound impressive.

You'll just have to wait and find out.

I'll have to tell Ezreal you implied he was "high society." He'll get a good laugh out of that. Or be offended. I'm not quite sure which.

ok but if you tell him THAT, you have to tell him that until a month ago i've lived in the forest for as long as i can remember & i wore the exact same clothes for a year cuz i didn't own anything else. just making sure he gets the whole picture here.

A year? I think you might have hurt Camille a bit with that statement, Jack.

give me a break, stealing clothes is hard!!!

Not to mention very much illegal.

[ Please don't steal clothes, Jack... ]

there's no money in the forest lux! did you want me to run around naked after my old clothes fell apart?

Of course not! I don't want to think about THAT either!

it's gotta be one way or the other!!

But they're both improper!

make up your mind princess, it's either stealing or naked.

[ now he kind of just wants to get her to admit it was okay for him to steal, it's funny to hear from a noble and he might be able to tease her about it someday. ]

[ There's a long delay between her messages. ]

Those can't be the only two options.

And I am NOT a princess. I think we established that already, Mister Frost.

right, right! i'm very sorry, sir knight luxanna. anyway if you have any alternatives to suggest that aren't IMPROPER, i'm all ears.

That's sir knight LUX to you, thank you very much. And I didn't realize that you were taking advice, in which case I might suggest doing some good, honest work? I know a guy in the industrial district who probably won't rip you off.
