[ Filtered away from the Malnosso ]

[malnosso]

[A filtered broadcast appears on Luceti's journals on the evening of the 29th.]

Ah. Luceti. It sure has been a while. My, how things change...

[And, oh, how they stay the same. The woman’s voice falls silent for the soft click and gasp of a lighter.]

I hear that not all of you have been playing nicely with my charges; then again, I doubt they made a point to play too nicely, either. [Laughter.] I would bet my last credit that Korras didn't.

Speaking of Blake, could a helpful soul put him on the line? Since the Malnosso shut down their books, it's been...or...blast it, you'll have to do. All of you. Listen -- two days from now, your guests are cleared to return to Kin'cora. Be dears and tell my children they're to line up at your pretty little teleporters. The Organization didn’t see fit to share their schedule but I certainly do see fit to pass it on. Unlike them, I find less entertainment in watching the machines round them up. This way, perhaps only the stragglers will be subjected to that.

Alive and, I understand, as unorthodox as ever.

Younger, though.

[deathsdoctor]

Unorthodox?

[justobserving]

He's so...cheery.

It grates.

[deathsdoctor]

Aa... you're not the only one who feels that way. [Other people have had a problem with that in the past.

There could be other implications to that statement. He considers those as well.]

Did he mention if he would be contacting us soon? He implied that he would be facing a lot of difficulties once reborn... I admit we have been concerned about him.

[justobserving]

The concern may not be so mutual. He barely mentioned Luceti, except in passing.

[deathsdoctor]

[He hmms. It is a completely unsurprised hmm.]

Well, can't say that's terribly unexpected. Disappointing though.

[justobserving]

Disappointing, hmm?

[deathsdoctor]

Disappointing.

[justobserving]

Why, pray tell, is that the case?

[deathsdoctor]

I was attending him until he passed. We discussed a couple of things. I got the impression he did care.

But, you said it may not be so mutual, so...

[Disappointing.]

[justobserving]

I...suppose that a man needn't say it aloud to be grateful. You overestimate what I am to him and what he is to me if you think we'd ever discuss something so personal.

[deathsdoctor]

[Gratitude and concern had never gone always hand in hand for him, so for Law, he knew Bil was grateful, but concerned for them? Caring for them? Truly? That might be a different story.

Especially with promises made and undelivered on so far.

But he was unwilling to argue or even press the point. He'd listen to what she was willing to say and draw his conclusions from that.]

Aa. Strictly to business, then. [... who know what you'd discuss though. And it's funny. How things come up. Even in the most strictly businesslike conversations. But that falls under incredibly nosy questions.] Do you think you'll hear from him again soon?

[justobserving]

I rather hope I don't, though I suspect I'd never be so lucky.

[deathsdoctor]

[ You really don't like him, do you.] Would you mind passing on he's being asked after if he does?
