[ --clicks on to the screech of something inhuman howling its lungs out, and the muffled sounds of someone whose communicator has turned on inside a pocket in the middle of a fight. More screeching, the ring of metal, and several crashing noises until the monster's yowling is cut abruptly short with a horrible wet sound. ]

[ Silence. ]

[ And then, much clearer and so completely calm, some actual speech. ]

Nuadoria. I had not thought to see thee again.

Thou art changed.

My what?

[temerate.livejournal.com]

Merely the speech of my youth.

[temerate.livejournal.com]

Thou needs not apologize to me. It is wise to recognize one's own limitations.

[fruity]

Youth long gone?

[temerate.livejournal.com]

Thou served a child in thy time here before. Is he grown as thee, or are you free from bondage?

[sereins.livejournal.com]

Ah, no. I still watch after him.

[nethrstead.livejournal.com]

We all have them, right?

[temerate.livejournal.com]

Centuries gone.

[fruity]

You sound to be in good health, for centuries old.

[temerate.livejournal.com]

I have. It seems she has summoned me back.

[voice]

[temerate.livejournal.com]

Wast thou also summoned a second time?

[temerate.livejournal.com]

It would be a great inconvenience if I could not.

[temerate.livejournal.com]

Your kind does, yes.

[omoidezukuri.livejournal.com]

Well, not everyone can.

[temerate.livejournal.com]

I see I was not wrong about thee.

[nethrstead.livejournal.com]

No, I meant that we all do. Everyone. In general.

[sereins.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah?

[temerate.livejournal.com]

The afflictions of age are, fortunately, a human concern, and none of mine.

[voice]

[cachaemic.livejournal.com]

Not me, but someone I know...

I guess it's hard to stay away from here.

Trying to die before your time or do you actually have some skill?

[temerate.livejournal.com]

That is the natural order of things.

I do remember thee. Ritsuka, was it not?

[omoidezukuri.livejournal.com]

You remember me?

[temerate.livejournal.com]

If that is what you believe.

[netherrstead.livejournal.com]

It's just fact, you know? Every living thing has some sort of vulnerability.

[temerate.livejournal.com]

Such loyalty is rare.
