Lord Cain,

It seems I have finally been able to escape the desert. My Network Device has been in a simply dreadful state, refusing to function at all while in the city of sand. I trust that you are well? I am returning to the Opera House at once.


[Private filter: Alexis Hargreaves]

It seems the brief holiday is over too soon.

I remind you again, Cardmaster: I have no inclination to baby-sit your son. I do hope you have other plans forthcoming.

[Private filter: Rosiel]

Intriguing as you were, I have decided to return with a gift in exchange for the answers you promised me.

Since I was feeling generous, you shall have your rock... though I'm afraid it is more of a pebble. Deserts are quite troublesome in that way.

Riff--there you are. We must have missed each other by moments. I just got through today myself.

Yes, I'm all right. Are you? Besides your device, I mean. I knew that's what it must have been that kept you silent for so long.

I'll be here at the opera house when you return.

[followyoutohell]

I am rather dusty, but all right. I shall meet you soon, Lord Cain.

[shall_yield_us]

And that is generosity?

[misterblackbird]

I'm glad to hear it, Riff. I'll watch for you.

Such a pity you must do as you are told in order to survive.

[Just a reminder.]

[ filter! ]

[judaskiss]

Certainly.

[judaskiss]

I'll take care not to let it slip my mind. [dryly]

Filter

[allinhishands]

Of course.

[deadliest6]

Sand can do great damage to technology.

[shall_yield_us]

I refuse.

[judaskiss]

But if it's simply Cain I shouldn't harm, I see no issue with having a little recreation on the side, from time to time.

[Filtered]

[judaskiss]

It would appear so.

[ filter! ]

[judaskiss]

How terribly rude.

[allinhishands]

I have no desire to spoil all your fun.

[Filtered]

[deadliest6]

It would. Yes.

[Filtered]

[judaskiss]

I see you've a penchant for stating the obvious.

[Filtered]

[deadliest6]

Provide me with more to comment on and I will.

Filtered]

[judaskiss]

Not very adept at leading conversations either, it seems.

[Filtered]

[deadliest6]

Is there need for one? Conversation is not difficult.
