[The voice that of the message is probably not the one you expect. And if you're Gilbert, probably causes traumatic flashbacks. It's certainly Break's voice, but a bit high pitched and more comical...]
Hello, this is Emily! You're obviously an idiot who can't even come see someone in person if it's important, but I'll take pity on you anyways. Leave a message and I'll tell the wonderful and charming Mr. Break about it if it's worth it!
[are you sure you even want to leave a message now]

[ Not that she knows Yao already knows, but... ]

[ And he hangs up to do just that! He also clearly wasn't doing anything at the time, since as soon as he hangs up, he leaves his apartment to go up to hers. He knocks lightly on the door, but lets himself in slowly right after, since he knows Sharon is expecting him. ]
Lady Sharon?
no subject
And I apologize... I'd meant to speak to you about this sooner, but there never seemed to be a good time for it... and I'd appreciate it if you could keep this secret.
no subject
...If that's what you wish, then I won't tell anyone. [ That's an unusual request, though, so he's not sure what to guess what it may be. Break walks more inside the room to meet her. ] What is it?
no subject
I can write here, without consequences.
no subject
...You can? I— How?
no subject
[ Her hand drifts up, fingers pressed to her temple. ] It's in here. It's because of that. I also imagine it's why that woman gave me information before she attacked me; she said she was obligated to listen to anyone with that chip.
no subject
...No. No.
His expression doesn't falter, but inwardly, he's almost screaming, because it's exactly what he had feared. Here is the catch, an it's tilt horrific. Immediately, his rash thought is to spurn his contact, because the price to pay for information or benefit is too high. He'll return an collect that man's head and tear the contract up himself, because this is—
—Unavoidable.
His desire to protect and defend her had led to this point, and he knows it's what means he can't falter. The terms of the contract had shackle him, because they knew without it, he'd never do what was asked of him. If he refuses, then Sharon is dead without return (his own life, that doesn't matter), so... He understands. It's infuriating, and at his first chance, he'll kill that man, but he understands. ]
...You're certain? It's in your head?
[ His voice is cool and careful, but that too isn't strange. It's just the concern of an older brother, because it sounds dangerous, doesn't it? ]
no subject
It is. I could feel it when she placed it there. [ An odd sensation, more uncomfortable than painful, but it was definitely lodged in there. ] But it doesn't hurt.
no subject
[ Why there, he wants to ask. If it were elsewhere, then there was a chance he could remove it without harming her, but... ]
I'm glad that it doesn't hurt, at least. I would have to pay our friends back, if that were the case. [ His eye turns to her temple where she had motioned, and he feels sick, imagining that he'll have to extract it, but it doesn't show at all. ] Do you know why it works in that way?
no subject
[ So she'd like to keep it inside of her head, thanks very much. ]
kIAAaaaaaaaaa
...I can see why. You're quite lucky to have it. [ He chuckles, shaking his head, because it's ridiculous. ] That's all that Haven has decided to give you, I hope?
ilu
As far as I'm aware, yes... [ with a rueful smile of her own. ] Nothing else about me has changed, if that's any comfort.
you do not!!!!!
It is. As long as you're safe... That's all I could ask.
[ He sighs softly, shaking his head ]
How long have you had it, by the way?
sure I do!!!!!
[ It feels as though it's been longer. But that just reminds her that she's kept this from Break all this time, and she lowers her head with an apologetic sigh. ]
I really had meant to tell you sooner...
nOPE
[ For a moment, he's furious, that she hadn't told him. If he had known, then maybe he wouldn't have made the deal at all. Maybe things would be different, he wouldn't have to— ]
No, it's fine, Sharon. It's interesting, but not terribly important~! I can see how you would forget.
[ —But he can't be angry. He knows that even if he had known, it would be unlikely that he would have done anything differently. ]
no subject
[ Might as well get it off her chest all at once. ]
no subject
Earlier today, yes. He was cleaning a bit in our apartment, but I believe he's gone to visit Oz by now.
no subject
no subject
You may as well now, while you're thinking about it. He spends enough time with his master, doesn't he~? I'm sure he'd like to know as well!
[ Which, of course, he's only insisting on for strategic reasons. If, no, when this goes wrong... He'd rather than Gilbert know at least part of the story. ]
no subject
[ before he got kidnapped again. ]
no subject
[ He laughs, shaking his head ]
Please do interrupt him, though. Remind him that there's laundry to be done, hm~?
