[rokubro]

Not before we have a headstart.

[tailsneverfails]

I have no doubt in my mind that crazy woman could still catch you no matter how much of a head start you got.

[rokubro]

Sadly, I think you're right.

[A small laugh before it kind of fades and he sighs.]

So good thing that's not happening. How long will it take for you to gather the crew and get here?

[Changing topics? Yes, yes he is.]

[tailsneverfails]

Depends on where you are, but it shouldn't take too long.

[ He could probably already hear Eizen moving around as they speak. ]

She going to be staying with us for a while?

[ He doesn't have any problem with that mind you. He had a dumb soft spot for the girl too. ]

[rokubro]

Northwest side of the island. [Sending directions.] But no, just for the night, probably. She plans on finding something else later, and honestly for the best. Last thing is for her sister to catch wind and try to destroy us.

[tailsneverfails]

She certainly throws one hell of a punch that's for sure. [ A soft sigh. He's heard bits and pieces about the situation and he feels for Rokurou and Serah. He gets the frustration on everyone's part and he's pretty much glad he's not in Rokurou's shoes. ]

Want me to get a room set up for her or did you want to keep her close?

[rokubro]

[He's silent for a few moments. Eizen wouldn't be able to tell, but Rokurou is looking down at Serah still sleeping against his shoulder. So he contemplates a bit before he closes his eyes and leans back against Arian to finally answer.]

She can stay in my room. It'll be easier and don't think I'll be sleeping tonight so won't really matter.

[Just hang out on the deck training or drinking, but he'd still stay nearby in case something happened.]

[tailsneverfails]

I'll get some drinks out for us after I pick you up then.

[ Since Eizen didn't need to sleep, the least he could is stay up with Rokurou and give him some company. ]

[rokubro]

Heh thanks. Gonna need a lot.

[There's another pause before he adds.]

Why not just go ahead and get them. You know, since she's still sleeping. Might as well give her a little more time.

[Code speak for take your time, Eizen. Despite what it may have sounded like earlier, he's really not in a rush.]

[tailsneverfails]

[ That gets a soft sound of amusement out of him. He's smart enough to realize what Rokurou means by that. ]

Good point. Besides I think we'll need some of the harder stuff tonight and I don't think we have any in stock.

[rokubro]

[Shut up, he can at least be this selfish about the stuff going on. Does he realize how difficult it is right now for him??? The ultimate test. So there might be a sense of a mental scowl before it fades.]

...Thanks, Eizen. I owe you.

[Not just for the drinks or other requests he's making right now. He might tell the Malak more about what's been happening, but for now he appreciates not being grilled right away about it as well as Eizen dealing with his problems. And as Eizen knows, when Rokurou declares a debt to be repaid, he'll pay it in full.]

[tailsneverfails]

[ Look, he can be huffy with him all he wants but EIzen actually thinks they're pretty cute. And if they were willing to deal with the consequences of if Snow ever showed up, then Eizen had no reason to stop them from living their lives. ]

For what. I didn't do anything.

[rokubro]

[They still need a little more time to figure things out, with Snow being the biggest thing to consider, but... Bleh this is why he doesn't need feelings.

But that just gets a small laugh from Rokurou.]

Exactly.

[tailsneverfails]

[ He snorts softly at that, shaking his head in amusement. ]

I think the soonest I can get to you is about an hour or so. Sound good?

[ Which is a lie, but he figures an hour would give Rokurou enough time to enjoy her presence just the two of them. ]

[rokubro]

Yeah, sounds good. Don't have too much fun behind the wheel.

[tailsneverfails]

I'll try not to crash it too many times.
