[ Riful ]

I do not care when you arrive here again; whether it is days away, or weeks, or years, or if I am even still residing within the Castle; and likewise, I do not care if you remember this place.

I will be here when you come back to this place, Riful. And I will make you pay for what you did.

Do not forget th--

[Pharos cuts off though, the filter going quiet. It takes him a moment, and when he finally speaks, his voice is quiet and childish yet again, unlike the dangerous threatening tone it carried just moments before.]

...you have left again?

[ /filter ]

[It takes him a few moments after ending that filter to start up another one; but as there's no one waiting on the other line, it doesn't make much difference.]

[ Filtered to anyone who knew or knew of Minato Arisato ]

As I am always the first to know, I thought it best to inform you all before anyone decided they needed to search for him - Minato has left the Castle once more.

I would be the first to know should he arrive here once more; and if he does not announce his presence, I can alert you to it if you wish to know about it, provided that he does not mind.

...It would seem there is little else for me to truly say on the matter.

[Having been his teacher while he was here, Alleyne feels compelled to say something. She doesn't know who this is, but if they knew Minato as well, she should at least offer gratitude for informing them.

Still though, two of her friends in one week. Rough. She'll remain composed, though.]

A great loss, indeed. Thank you for telling us.

Should he return, I'd like to know, even if he won't remember us.

[bedninja]

Then I will be sure to tell you if he does. Even if he does not remember, I doubt he would object to becoming an acquaintance of yours again.

[His tone also holds the slight forced quality of someone that is keeping their composure; a little too calm, a little too level. But it shows no signs of breaking anytime soon.]

What name should I filter to should he come back?

[tomatoandbasil.livejournal.com]

[She's had more than enough time practicing and sadly more than enough experience with people leaving; her voice is low and still.]

I'm Alleyne; I taught him combat and other survival skills while he was here. And you are?

[exanimatus.livejournal.com]

[aw, buddy. he's seen this so many times, but still doesn't know how to approach it. so, well, facts first.]

At least I got to have a proper conversation with him this time.

[bedninja]

...You were able to speak with him before he left?

[O-oh. He didn't know this. It kind of feels like he should've known this.] What did you think of him?

[exanimatus.livejournal.com]

Mm. From that... he seemed quiet, but thoughtful. I did not dislike speaking with him.

[hard-talker.livejournal.com]

[he hadn't known him for long, but -]

Dammit! ... Well ... I hope he at least goes home to somethin' good.

[you shouldn't have asked, Mark...]

[bedninja]

[....He really shouldn't have. There's a very, very long silence following it, and when Pharos speaks again his voice is pretty much devoid of anything even remotely childlike.]

What happens to Minato is no business of yours.

Pharos

Pharos.

[ her hands shake on her end, so glad he can't see it. that's... really scary. ]

He didn't mean to.

[hard-talker.livejournal.com]

Whoa... [but once the shock wears off, there's anger] Who're you to tell me that?! We were friends, dammit!

...How disappointing. I never got to meet him.

[bedninja]

Perhaps you will be able to meet him the next time he comes here. Last time it did not seem to take very long before he had arrived here once more.

Well, it doesn't matter I guess... You haven't met my sister, either.

[Stocking hears this entry and drops her teacup, ignoring the sound of it shattering on the ground as she looks at her journal. Her now empty hand trembles as she pulls it over and rereads the entry once, twice, three times.

Then the journal is dropped, too, as she throws on her shoes and leaves to find Minato's room — or former room. Once she sees the blank nameplate, she calls her journal back up as she enters and sits in the empty room, speaking softly.]

This isn't fair... It's not fair to him...

[bedninja]

Do you think that I am not aware of that fact?

...I know better than anyone how unfair this is to Minato. Bu no matter what I am able to do, I am not able to bring people back to this place once they have left.

[And even if he could... he couldn't bring Minato back. That's something only the Castle can do.]
