Hey Nill why you no answer.]

[bloodthirsts]

Nill! Are you alright? I've been so worried about you.

[reassures]

I'm fine.

I'm sorry for worrying you.

[bloodthirsts]

Are you sure? I looked all over for you. And Shika too, you both vanished.

[reassures]

I know. I'm sorry.

Please don't worry about it.

[bloodthirsts]

What happened? Why did you disappear?

[reassures]

You don't want to know, and I don't want to lie about it.

[bloodthirsts]

[This message startles her so much it takes a couple minutes for her to respond. Why... that can only mean it as something truly terrible...]

Nill. Whatever happened I just, I want to protect you both, help you.

[reassures]

I know you do.

[But...]

We had to do something we've been involved with before. The ending was a little better this time.

[But she doesn't know if Shika would want to tell her, and Seras was closer and more important to him than she was Nill.]

[bloodthirsts]

[That raises her eyebrows, not that Nill can see.]

I'm glad you're both safe, and well. If you do need me I'm just a call away, Nill.

[reassures]

I know, Seras. Thank you.

[bloodthirsts]

You're always welcome. I'll come over and see you soon, okay?

[reassures]

Okay.
