5th roar [ audio + text ]

[ Slightly backdated to somewhere between incredibly late/ridiculously early on Tuesday, for those among you who like to tune in at all hours. Someone woke up and couldn't get back to sleep again. ]

Asleep for three days? Tch. Like I'd believe that.

[ Leon's voice is tense and slightly hoarse, hiding the edge of a snarl. He's clearly wound up over something. ]

Has anyone seen Aerith, recently? Long brown hair, wears pink; she has a Chansey with her. I keep trying to call her, but she's not answering, even though her gear is still online.

[ Of course, the last time he tried was apparently three whole days ago, which isn't helping. He knows she's a grown woman and perfectly capable of handling her own, but at this rate it'd be far more reassuring to know she was safe at home rather than lost in a ditch somewhere.

There's a few tiny background noises for a moment, then the feed clicks off. ]

[ Private text message for Lightning Farron: ]
Need to get some air. Up for a spar?

Cherrygrove? [ Damn. The hell were they collectively doing for three days? ] Do you have Odin with you?

[Hell if she can remember.]

Just Odin. Gastly and all my supplies are in my room at the Inn. [This includes her warmer clothing. Lightning is in just her shirt, pants, and boots.]

Where's your room? I'll meet you halfway.

Upstairs. Third door on the right when you reach the landing. My bag should be on the bed. [Provided no one's gone in and Gastly didn't get out of her ball.]

[ After a few minutes; ]

Got it. Anything else you want me to bring?

No, that's it. Thanks, Leon.

[There's a water bottle in that bag, so she's fine...but...]

Just be careful. If Gastly gets out of her ball she might try and prank you.

I'll manage.

[ He'll manage. ]

It's cold out, this time of year. No sense catching something.

[ Leon's awkward way of saying 'don't mention it'? You bet. ]

Just thought I'd warn you.

[Of course he will. He's Leon, after all.]

That goes for you too. Won't be able to fight well if you get sick and can't stop coughing.

[Repayment in spades awaits, Leon. You want to hit something? You'll get something to hit.]

Thanks for the heads up.

Don't worry about me; the cold isn't really an issue.

[ Seriously, what is up with dudes and wearing teeny jackets in January and being like LOL WHAT COLD, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT.

Also do you think he's doing this out of the goodness of heart? ~~Well he is~~ tchyeah right, meeting her halfway means he can punch things three days sooner! ]

[Worry? Oh, no, he can handle himself, she's sure. She just doesn't want to lug a sick man back to Violet. ~~e-even if he's going to bring her her coat.~~]

I'll take your word for it.

[And hopefully before either of them ends up in a snowdrift!]

[ They'll keep each other warm...

With sparring. ]

Good. See you in three days, then. Keep me updated on your progress.

[ It's slow going when you're cold, after all. ]

[It truly is the easiest way for them to keep warm. And it's good for bruises, too.]

Yeah. I'll see you then.

[That's what Odin is for. Warmth. Because she will never believe such a small creature.]
