[5 mins later, after finding out a little of what's happening.]

Noctis, this isn't funny, tell me where you are right now.

[5 mins later.]

I'm coming to find you.

[claritatis]

[Ignis laughs then, his expression warming and his eyes briefly falling closed with the mirth of it.]

Did I just win a debate with Kate Galloway? [He questions, gently teasing. An understatement it might have been, but it sounds like an agreement, and one so easily given that he has to wonder just what could be distracting her so much.]

I wish I had a calendar to mark the date.

[dedikated]

( The raise of her brows is accompanied by a start of laughter, something more than her usual airy huffs and snorts of amusement, followed by the same gentle push of his head she did after their first kiss. It almost sounds like you're calling her stubborn, Ignis, but we know that could never be the case. )

Can continue, if you like.

( Not that she particularly wants to, since she doesn't actually disagree with what he's saying. )

[claritatis]

Could you? I wouldn't want you to feel like you had to force it to save face.

[Kate? Stubborn? Surely not. He would never accuse her of such a thing.]

If you prefer, we can call it a draw.

[dedikated]

( She is incredibly laid back all the time, of course. )

Win next time.

( Later. She can definitely come up with plans for winning later. )

Hello Ignis; I don't think we've met, but I'm Lance. Kate asked me to contact you regarding coordinating the use of the guard headquarters as a temporary clinic location for anyone on the north island.

[claritatis]

You are correct, we haven't met.

[Not that he isn't aware of the man. Ignis' lack of posting to the network in any great volume speaks nothing of how often he glances at it.]

That is a prudent suggestion. Would you prefer to discuss this in person? I assume you're located on the same island.

You up?

[claritatis]

I am now.

[dedikated]

( Rude. You can ignore your phone and sleep, you know. )

Hate sleeping in the clinic.

( Okay Kate what's your point? )

[claritatis]

There's no one you could stay with?

[dedikated]

Sounds worse.

( The only other people still in this city she's ever agreed to stay the night with are Carlisle and Glacius, and that was only because she was on a hitlist. )

[claritatis]

I suppose it would.

[dedikated]

( Oh for the love of- )

Still having nightmares. Annoying.

[claritatis]

[There's a few minutes pause before the response.]

So am I.

[dedikated]

( Her reply takes long enough that it might be easy to think that it means she's fallen back asleep.

... Or that she's taking a shower and brushing her teeth. )

Always back underground. Powers won't work.

( And all she can hear are the noises of her friends in trouble, trying to fight in the black. )

[claritatis]

[Who knows.]

Do you imagine they'll keep us all separated like this for long?

[dedikated]

( Indeed. )

No idea. Last time we were split up was an accident. Never had it happen quite like this.

[claritatis]

I suppose I ought to start looking more earnestly into boats.

[You know, since you talked him out of the swimming thing.]

[dedikated]

Curufin said he was building one.

[lifetothefullest]

I am; would you like to meet at the guard post?

[Since it's the subject of discussion and all.]

[claritatis]

I know. I'd offer some assistance but I'm afraid that it isn't one of my strengths.

[dedikated]

So there is something you can't do?

( She's shocked. )

[claritatis]

I suppose so. I've never tried.
