Allen,

I wanted to apologize for what occurred during our last meeting. Dezel warned me that coming back might lead to speaking without thinking things through. Ignorance of context isn't much of an excuse, either.

I think, in the future, we would both benefit if we refrain from judging one another without taking the time to understand our individual situations. That's my assessment.

Even so, I'm sorry.

[Ah. Right.]

..Thank you.

I feel I should apologise too. I definitely said things that were... [Harsher, than he had meant them to be.]

I think it's fair to say we both had a lot on our minds and weren't in any shape to have that sort of discussion. So, I'm sorry.

[nerdeology]

I don't disagree.

When we both are feeling more like ourselves, I wouldn't mind continuing- or rather, discussing such matters properly. I feel as if we could learn a lot from one another about our respective worlds.

If you'd rather not, I'll understand, but I thought I'd make my interest known.

[save_the_souls]

I would like that.

[NO BUT SERIOUSLY THANK FUCK FOR THAT]

I'm glad to hear it.

Until then, I hope you continue to recover well.

[save_the_souls]

Thank you. I hope you recover well too.

[A pause as he debates leaving it at that, but...]

Also, I suppose I should let you know there's another Exorcist in the fleet now.

[nerdeology]

Another exorcist? That's good, isn't it?

[At least this way if anything else comes up, Allen won't have to deal with it solo...]

More or less.

[nerdeology]

I think I understand your meaning.

[He'd felt sort of the same when Zaveid showed up, anyway- a solid mix of "oh, it's you!" and "oh, it's you".]

Is there anything we should know about that, or...?

text;

[save_the_souls]

Well, we've been teammates for a long time! And he's a very good Exorcist! It's just...

[a pause]

Ah, well-

When we first met? There was some miscommunication about my identity. It's a long story...but he decided the solution was to...try to cut me open to see if I was an Akuma. Luckily another Exorcist stopped him! But-

...I suggest if you run into him, to perhaps be careful about what you tell him. For now, at least.

Nothing about Sorey and I, then.

I appreciate the warning. Can I have his name?

[It's not like he'd go around blathering about the hellion situation anyway, but better safe than sorry. It's already a huge miracle that he's alive at all. He'd rather not get killed again.]

[save_the_souls]

Kanda. He's on the Red Fish.

I told him I fought an Akuma dragon created by an accident, but nothing else. I'm sure he knows I wasn't telling him everything, but he won't look further into it.

text;

[nerdeology]

He won't? That's enough for him?

[WHAT IS THIS STRANGE CONCEPT, he's used to asking a million questions about everything ever.]

text;

[save_the_souls]

That's enough for him. We might not always get along, but we're still comrades. He knows I wouldn't hide something dangerous from him.

Besides, Kanda's not really the curious type. That's more .... [Lavi. Who was...] well, another comrade.

text;

[nerdeology]

All right, then. I'll let Sorey know, and we'll both be careful.

text;

[save_the_souls]

Okay, good.

[It's not that he didn't trust Kanda. He did. It's just...well. This was a weird situation. For both parties]

Feel better Mikleo. We'll talk later.

[nerdeology]

Same to you, thanks.

[WHAT A RELIEF THIS IS]
