[Voice Post]

[A few moments of hesitation, and Yorda's voice is heard. She's even quieter than usual, sounding apprehensive and even a little afraid. She also sounds as though she's been running for awhile.]

Mao, please come back soon. There is something wrong.

Geo... ffrey?

What did he look like. [it comes out more as a demand than a question]

[pauses. She's a little frightened by his tone, but her voice only trembles a little]

He was tall, and had skin that was almost like ash. His hair was grey. He wore glasses like yours.

[there's a sound as though Mao had started to say something, but it immediately goes silent for awhile as Mao starts to think. Almaz and Princess had come from around the same time he had. Maybe... Maybe it's actually Geoffrey X?]

...What was it that scared you? [asking this kind of question feels weird to him, but he wants... needs more information]

He said you were going to become ruthless and vicious. He wanted to contact you when I told him you had helped me.

I do not like him.

Keep not liking him. And don't trust him, either. Not unless I say you can. I'll look into this when I get back.

I do not think I will like him. And I do not trust him.

He wanted to find you.

[he isn't really surprised] He probably will. I'm talking to him when I get back. And I've already decided, so don't try to tell me I shouldn't.

Please take me with you. I do not want you to go alone.

I can do it myself. [comforting people? What's that?]

[nonomoribird.livejournal.com]

I know you can. I do not want you to go alone. [her voice is still soft, but insistent]

Keh... I'm doing it myself and that's that. I know what I'm doing.

[a brief pause]

I understand. Please tell me if I can help.

[madsciencemaou.livejournal.com]

...Sure. If it comes to it, I guess.

[she stops sounding so scared, and her smile can be heard in her voice] Thank you.
