[The first thing Masaomi shares is a picture. It's dark as always, but for once, that doesn't affect visibility. Half of the picture is filled with Masaomi's anxiously grinning face. He's pointing over his shoulder where a parade of bright colors and surreal costumes is marching past the school.]

Nobody told me Beacon had a circus! This shit's insane!




[Aaaand that's it. That's all anyone gets.

Masaomi will not respond to this post. He is officially a dead boy.]

[Link accepts the offered hand despite not needing it. He tries to push up with his free arm anyway, knowing that he weighs a bit more than people usually expect.]

Good, you'd better.

[He steps over his lamp and retrieves it from the low branch he'd hung it from. He'd noticed Sora looking between him and it with a curious expression.

It's probably not something he should comment on but the words tumble out of his mouth anyway.]

Yeah, my lamp.

Don't worry about that! I've got that whole thing under control, I promise!

[Which is actually Link for "this stunt will kill me someday but that's on me."]

[ Same hat. (Not literally, Link's hat is a very singular hat.) He'll haul and look at Link oddly. He... doesn't have cybernetics, does he? That's the same weight he'd expect of himself or the soldier.

Sora looks at Link, and then the lamp, and then Link, and then the lamp. This explanation means nothing to Sora, misser of context clues. ]

Okay, now I have to come back alive. I have so many questions for you.

[ But he'll just start... reluctantly moving away. He doesn't actually want to leave the company of a friend... but now he's got a mission and he has to see it through. ]

You'll hear from me in thirty minutes. I swear! [ And as long as Link doesn't stop him, he'll walk a little ways backward, and then get back on track to the school. Hopefully, Masaomi's okay! 8^) ]

[Link doesn't follow but Sora will feel his watchful gaze until the light of his lantern disappears into the trees.]

[arsarcanum]

[ Sora does feel that watchful gaze. Scary, but it's on his side. It's a good feeling.

Around 15 minutes later, Link will receive a message in his inbox. ]
