[The phone starts recording at Makoto tries to pry a growing cat off of the screen. There's a little objective mew as he does but he gives him a little chin scritch.]

Oh, Felix. I know, you miss him. [A little meow and he head butts the phone, giving Makoto a chance to turn it full towards him and- oh. It's recording.]

Ah, sorry about that. I, uh, I'm not very good at this but I guess I should tell everyone that Yu Narukami has gone back home. I have his cat, Felix.

[This time, a fuzzy little head butt the phone to look at him.] I've never cared for a cat before. We had Koromaru back in the dorm on Tatsumi Port Island but he's a dog. And pretty self sufficient.

So, advice on taking care of a cat would be very appreciated.

[They can solve those mysteries as they go.]

Probably, yeah. I'll catch you soon then.

[fatedcontract]

[Oh sure, call him out. She's right though, he really misses Yu already.]

Got it. I really appreciate the help. Um, I'm Makoto Yuuki, by the way. In case you find me or Felix somewhere.

[fatedcontract]

Yeah, he is. He's a Wild Card too, I don't entirely know what his contract is though. I never asked.

[As far as he knows, no.]

[Hey, she's just calling it as she's seeing it.]

Shalimar. I guess if you're ever around the Guard barracks or something I might bump into you.

[fatedcontract]

Mm, it's a dead language where I'm from so I mostly poke at words sometimes. Sorry it became a joke where you're from though. That's awful.

[He's okay with that.]

[fatedcontract]

Nice to meet you, Shalimar. And I'm sure we will, I joined the Guard awhile back.

[felinefox]

Oh yeah? Regular division or one of the specialists?

video;

[fatedcontract]

Regular division. I don't really know what I could even specialize in or anything.

video;

[felinefox]

Nothing wrong with that. I'm on search and rescue myself but we wouldn't get far without the back-up of the generalists.

[likeacoupon]

Maybe.

[She's the kind of person who usually separates herself from the discomfort of loss. She doesn't want to face it head on.]

[jokerofhearts]

[ A nod. ]

See you soon.

[tevinteraltus]

Only in one very specific situation.

[He nods.]

Yes, it would seem what happened to Rome is rather similar to the fall of Tevinter.

[A beat.]

That is not a comforting thought, actually.

[fatedcontract]

See you around, I guess? And I hope you feel better.

[fatedcontract]

Well, you definitely have my support if we end up going out together.

video;

[fatedcontract]

Still.

[Awful.]

Ah, no. I don't imagine it will be. You're making an effort to make things better though so hopefully Tevinter will turn out better off. And you could learn a thing or two here, maybe get some allies.

video;

[tevinteraltus]

Oh, I've had allies, and have, it's a matter of convincing the majority of the Magisterium to vote in our favor.

...several times, not to mention the reformation of the entirety of the Templar order and...yes. With time, I believe we can be successful.

[likeacoupon]

Yeah. Around.

Later.

[She's not good at goodbyes.]

[vedaandme]

Are there a lot like you in your world?

[Tieria remembered him mentioning about others, but had they talked about the actual numbers? He didn't think so.]

[fatedcontract]

I don't think there are. Not Wild Cards anyway, Igor told me it had been ages since he'd last had a guest. Persona's are just supposed to be kind of rare in general but I guess we're localized when there are any.

It's kind of weird.

video;

[fatedcontract]

Several times?

[He's still young and, smart as he is, politics can get complicated.]

You can't just... vote the other guys out or something?

[vedaandme]

I supposed it must be. Though, if it is weird for you, then I am certain you can understand that it is even more so for me.

[Tieria might sound a little amused on that.]

I do wish you luck with your cat, however. I have not cared for one before.

[fatedcontract]

Yeah, definitely. I wish I could explain it all better but I kind of... fell into it all.

[Makoto manages a smile of his own.]

Thanks, I might need it. You're welcome to come and meet Felix if you want.

video;

[tevinteraltus]

...do you truly wish for me to bore you with the tedium of Senate politics?

[He laughs.]

We're dealing with mages, here, and cunning ones. Being voted out requires, well, a vote. It's easier to make those who disagree simply...disappear, which I suppose is what's caused this problem in the first place, but when assassination and false imprisonment are the usual answers to disagreement, changing the norm becomes tedious at best.

[vedaandme]

Maybe I will. I have considered if a pet would be worth the work.

[fatedcontract]

Really?

[His smile warms.]

I'd say it is. We had Koro-chan in my dorms back home, and he was great. And Felix is usually a sweetheart.
