Sixth summoning [Voice] - Family Lost

[knew_anyway]

[The PCD turns on to silence at first, before Nathaniel speaks, his voice soft, calm.]

Jean Louis and Mireille have returned home. My condolences to anyone who were friends with them.

[A moment of silence.]

I'd like to reassure everyone, however, that this will not impede any progress. We are more than capable of rising above such dark times, even without their guiding hands- I have utter faith in that.

[Another pause- as if he wants to say anything else- but he switches the PCD off.]

[Text || Private to the Police Force Filter]

I am willing to take Jean Louis' responsibilities in addition to my own. If anyone has questions or concerns, please refer back to me.

Beka Cooper is also missing, but I have retrieved some of the maps she managed to make. We will have to reorganize a little to allow for her absence.

We cannot let these disappearances weaken us, no matter how they may hurt.

...I'm sorry.


[[ooc: I AM STILL TAGGING NAT'S OTHER POST fjdkls I'm sorry, I just had to make a goodbye post from him. :( ]]

I don't have time for friends right now.

[He sighs, defeated.]

...Mireille wanted me to be a mentor to her child.

[Bart is actually impressed, but he doesn't show it]

That's a big thing with humans?

[voice | private]

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

It wasn't a very informed decision on her behalf.

[He huffs.]

I am not a suitable choice.

[voice | private]

[imakefootnotes.livejournal.com]

Why?

[voice | private]

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

[He scoffs.]

Have your memories of me been erased, Bartimaeus?

[laugh]

You're an overly ambitious egomaniac with no fashion sense whatsoever, but there are worse people to choose.

[voice | private]

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

I can't imagine one off of the top of my head.

[Huff.]

It's- ridiculous. I have no time to be a part of a child's life.

[voice | private]

[imakefootnotes.livejournal.com]

I'd never thought you to be so down on yourself.

[voice | private]

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

I'm being realistic.

[voice | private]

[imakefootnotes.livejournal.com]

Just admit that you're sad they've gone and save me the bother of coaxing it out of you.

[voice | private]

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

That's- totally untrue.

[even though it's voice-only, he somehow manages to give you a look>]

[He huffs.]

We were merely allies.

[voice | private]

[imakefootnotes.livejournal.com]

You and I were 'merely' allies.

[voice | private]

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

Were we?

[He pauses for a moment.]

I didn't know you saw it like that.

[voice | private]

[imakefootnotes.livejournal.com]

Depends how you interpret it, John.

[voice | private]

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

...you don't have to call me that when it's just us.

[voice | private]

[imakefootnotes.livejournal.com]

Never know who is listening. Silent and unseen, remember? [he sounds kinda amused at the last part]

[voice | private]

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

...yes, of course.
