[There's faint relief felt on the other side of this conversation, though it doesn't colour Eraqus' voice at all.]

Then I will see you soon.

I will be. I promise.

THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING TO THIS SURVEY.

YOUR FOUR DAY SUBSCRIPTION TO THE USAGE OF WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, AND WHY IN MOVIES BEGINS NOW.

[Well, he does like movies.]

Who is this

Are you even an actual person

[He had not said anything after a recent announcement on the network, but he had remembered part of his conversation over coffee with the young ex-Nobody, the mention of names, and friendships. Privately, Eraqus hopes this is not overstepping bounds on Thanksgiving.. ]

[A large envelope has been left for Roxas, his name written in unfamiliar bold handwriting. It may have been delivered to Kahve or dropped off at his home by one of Eraqus' apprentices (because he certainly doesn't know either location yet in the city).

[But whatever the where, inside the envelope, Roxas'll find three carefully folded origami birds. Once pulled out and carefully put on display, the paper shapes aren't just birds - three phoenixes, each a different shade of red, with a little mark of mastery printed at the end of the tail. One for the two left behind, and one in memory of an absent friend.]

As actual as your face

in a mirror.

Unless you're a vampire.

No I'm not a vampire

[ :| ]Joe if this is you trying to mess with me I'm letting the cats have your bunk tonight

[........ h e h.]

Man how'd you guess?

[Hope the dear Replica likes cats C: ]

Because you're good at stupid jokes

Are you really bored at work or what

[Thanksgiving isn't a holiday where he's accustomed to giving or getting presents, so Roxas is surprised when he opens the envelope—but that feeling subsides and is swiftly overtaken by another emotion that's harder to name. Whatever it is, it leaves him feeling a little choked up.

He'll have to stop by the House of Departure and thank the Master for his gift later. These days, they have little enough to be grateful for, so it's important to show appreciation for what they've got. But first, he takes the time to place the phoenixes on the windowsill in his room, where the light will hit them first thing each morning when it breaks through the darkness. The one with the brightest red goes in the middle, its friends close by on either side.

Just as it should be.]

[ A short voicemail has been left; Eraqus sounds slightly pained throughout. ]

My apologies, Roxas, but I'm afraid I will have to defer training with you to a future time; a week or so at most, I hope.

[ Beat. Then, intensely serious:]

The reported monster in the news is a very powerful Heartless. Do not attempt to engage it on your own, and warn your friends to travel together if they absolutely must go out at night.

[ Warning given, the call ends. ]

[ring ring]

[also hi he's not waiting for a greeting once the NV connects, how rude]

What happened?

[so. rude. This is what happens when there are no Masters to teach the younglings manners.]

Cue mild hint of reproof.]

...Roxas.

I encountered the Heartless in question when out after dark. It is.. extremely powerful. Very fast.

My injuries should finish healing within the next day or so.

[Totally oblivious of the reproof...or maybe just ignoring it.]

It hurt you? [DUDE] We can't just let it go. Even if most people do stay in after dark, not everyone does.

[Grimace. It's practically audible.]

I was unfortunate. Had I moved any slower, matters would have been much worse. Fortunately, my left hand is not my dominant one.

[Or swinging a Keyblade around would have really sucked during that fight.]

[Then, a sigh.] As keybearers, it is our duty to deal with this monster. But you must not attempt to do so alone. I told Riku more details regarding what happened, but let me be clear: I do not know if it uses corridors to move across the city, but it may not need to. Not at night, when the Port might as well be shadow.
