[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]

[ He smiles, and though it's forced completely, it reads more like a startled, pleased sort of surprise than one that comes with a terrible sense of foreboding. ]

...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?

[ How fortunate that it does, or she might have questions. ]

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!!!!!

[madhatted]

[ He nods ]

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!!!!!

[unicornered]

A couple of months, if I recall correctly.

[ 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

[madhatted]

...Months...

[ 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. ]

[unicornered]

I'll need to speak to Gilbert about it, as well... because even if it's not terribly important, I do trust the both of you. Have you seen him around?

[ Might as well get it off her chest all at once. ]

[madhatted]

[ yeah just TWIST THAT KNIFE SHARON ]

Earlier today, yes. He was cleaning a bit in our apartment, but I believe he's gone to visit Oz by now.

[unicornered]

Ah... I'll try contacting him a bit later, then.

[madhatted]

[ Break laughs, shaking his head ]

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. ]

[unicornered]

I'll seek him out shortly, then... for now, I think it might be wise to let him have this time with Master Oz.

[ before he got kidnapped again. ]

[madhatted]

Perhaps...

[ He laughs, shaking his head ]

Please do interrupt him, though. Remind him that there's laundry to be done, hm~?
