step one ❚ a flight on clipped wings ( video )
( the only reason you're seeing this feed is because lenalee has accidentally fallen on the device. she hasn't got a clue that it's been turned on and that it's currently filming the scenario before her -
which is a family room of sorts with the npc owners of said family room standing all around her, a mixed expression of surprise, disbelief and wtf-are-you-doing-here on their faces. above them, a great hole in their ceiling, much thanks to her activating her boots midair. not that it helped, but at least it missed light fixture. )
A, ah - ( nervous chuckle from the person who's lying on top of a ruined center table, whose usually prim uniform is now covered in dust and debris. ) - I'm terribly sorry to barge in. I usually use the door and I, I promise I'm not a thief -
( hastily said, with hands raised even.
she looks around, giving the device a glimpse of her briefly panic-stricken face, then turns back to the house owners. ) - But may please I borrow your phone?

Out in the market district! Y'know, I can probably find you easier than you'd find me.
video;
but then, she doesn't hear anything after "market district". she ignores him, stands up and turns back towards to the people she - intruded upon, so to speak.
and after several minutes of apologies, promises of payments and questions about directions, lenalee wastes no time leaving the apartment and the building. through the door this time, thanks. )
Lavi - ( because she finally remembers she left him hanging. ) - what do you last remember?

( he's got an idea, he's been listening to the gossip, but this is going to be a painful interview. ) ]

video;
( she almost stops at his answer to her question, a brief stab in her heart, but she shakes her head and carries on. she soon halts in the middle of the street (she's sure she's in the correct one, having followed the directions right to the t), eyes darting around as she sorts out the people walking past her, mistrust clear in her body language.
red hair, red hair - she's half panicking now as she starts walking again, footsteps moving quicker. there's too many people, too many unknown enemies. )
- And Allen and Kanda?
video;
Wasn't keeping track of 'em. At a guess, I'd go for the kitchen and the nearest place with a whetstone, respectively. He sounded pretty mad about something.
video;
One last question. Are you really Lavi...?
( or an akuma seeking to confuse her? she doesn't voice out the last question. )
action?!
her voice pierces air and speakers both, and lavi turns to follow the sound -- turns up an eye and a smile and his hands splaying open, one after another, all wry and all real. ]
I'd kinda hope you'd know if I weren't.
action!!
( since the last news she's heard of you - and kanda - isn't good. she smiles, tears finally falling. )
It's been a while, you see, since I've last seen you.
1/2
BOOKMAN ACTIONS MENU
> run away because she's crying
> run away because Lenalee is crying
> . . . get smacked upside the head by three Exorcists and a Bookman for trying to run away while she's crying?! ]
action!!
Hey, hey. . . [ the most awkward sort of comfort: I'm here, I'm here, you can't drown me even with all your saltwater. ] Man—do I wanna ask how long it's been?
1/2
but anyway - she does turn around to wipe away her tears with the back of her hands (because she knows what kind of babies they are when she starts), if only to compose herself again. no need to attract more attention in an already crowded place than necessary. )
A week? Even more? ( headshake. she can't really tell anymore. ) And it's not even that because it's not uncommon for us to not see each other for extended periods of time but -
action!!
action!!
[ 'lost' clicked off his tongue like the best kind of euphemism -- but the confusion, at least, is genuine. ]
1/3
Kanda - ( here we go. ) Kanda died, they told me. We recovered his Innocence and they said it's no longer compatible.
no subject
Isn't that unbelievable? To think that he, of all people, would fall ... It feels so - ( painful. ) - unreal.
action!!
And Allen, he left the Order. I tried to stop him but in the end, I couldn't - didn't help him at all. ( thank goodness she's not facing lavi right now. ) Aren't I terrible?
action!!
Who'd believe anything's dumb as that?
( you being terrible, he means. )
Ah, man, like I've even got any idea where to buy handkerchiefs! . . . How long's it been since you heard?
action!!
( with them running around, the order bossing them around, lvellie hanging around. mourning's pretty much the least of their priorities. )
Allen had left just before I arrived here. I was on my way back to the Headquarters. ( so you can just guess how fresh it is for her. ) For you, Bookman and Kanda, almost a week now. The Order is starting to give up.
action!!
( what a thing to hear. what a thing to hear about Bookman. he wonders, of course, and he can't help but wonder -- )
You hear how time works in the City yet?
action!!
( it's her constant companion after all. )
A little bit - but from how I understood it, it doesn't seem to flow the way it should. Different timelines which doesn't at all affect the events at home.
i suck at notifs please forgive me
( he should be charming -- 'lavi' would be, if he were as ideally pictured, but mostly the boy-in-place is just cranky. bookman, bookman in unspecified danger, and allen and kanda somewhere twisted out of the record, gods damn it -- and that's why it matters, that and nothing else -- )
Guess you got the gist anyhow! I'm a couple weeks behind you, looks like.
( --unless you aren't completely sure of what you remember. unless these memories could still be illusory.
see? lavi's learning. he doesn't say any of it out loud. )
np
she's beginning to relearn the ways of faking it. )
No one else aside from us, then? In those past two weeks, I mean.
