[Unlike others who panicked over the fact that their worlds are destroyed, there's certainly a young girl who doesn't seem to buy any of those empty words on her letter. Y u p, this girl.

Instead of direct contact though, Aisha's going with text for this one. Better be careful if you're in an unknown place, after all. She's not even going to mention her name in her first step here.]

El Shard.
Nasods.
Bethma.
Feita.
Altera.
Hamel.
Velder.
Elves and Dark Elves.
Black Crow.
Red Knights.
Temple of Frozen Water.

[Well, guess those are enough? She better starts with that much first. Not to menton that some of those are ambiguous as well.]

Contact me if you recognize any of them. Immediately.

action; .....we're not talking about this.

[unkindnessof]

[He actually hadn't considered himself that worked up- until he notices Aisha's reaction. Was he really being so...?

...In any case, he stops himself from going any further down whatever track he was and abruptly deflates, inwardly cursing his lapse of control.]

... no. No, it's not your fault. I should be the one apologizing. Sorry. [A weary sigh, harsh in how ragged it is, and his expression closes itself off in a practiced manner.

He's slipping. A hand comes up to rub at his temple at the thought.]

All you need to take away from that is that he's fine, at least so far. [He murmurs mutedly. It's testament to his control that what he says next comes out as steadily as it does, no inflections or emphases whatsoever:] I suppose... it would also be prudent to know that the possibility you'll be forced to do things you wouldn't want to in any normal circumstance is a very... present one.

action; .........so it's a yes?

[tsunlemental]

[If she's talking to someone else (Els in particular), she would probably return the negative fever with one of her own. But this? She can already tell how much Raven keep things inside, especially with the particular flash of berserk just now.]

No, it's okay. I understand.

[Aisha? She lets out a sigh as well.]

I'm grateful for that. I'll be sure to discipline Els as necessary. [Read: She's going to share the burden that go by 'Elsword' with you. Much to her dismay.

Regardless, Aisha does take it rather well. To be honest, it's not surprising her further. Everything was already surprising enough here.] Good grief. [She lifts her head to stare at the ceiling for a while to sigh, blankly. Before she returns her gaze at her companion.] I might sound a little hopeful, but I hope nothing had happened to everyone aside the one that you've just said.

action; what kind of maiden are you that you pull yes out of that ...

[unkindnessof]

By all means. [Handling Elsword is a job for multiple people.]

Nothing untoward has happened to Chung as far as I know, and likewise for Rena, save for being temporarily returned to the ruins of Elrios. Despite what we've been discussing, I've done my best with Elsword. [It's obvious he's leading up to something. After a short pause as he considers his words, he continues.]

Eve, on the other hand... did not have the best of it last month, at Jason's hands, apparently. This is the situation I was speaking of before, the one Els shouldn't have gotten himself involved in.

... I won't speak more on the subject. It's up to Eve whether she wants to tell you the details.

action; let's casually change the subject line about how late I am

[tsunlemental]

[Those multiple people and they are still not enough, mind you.

That... works for her too, regardless. Instead of countering with words, Aisha merely give nods as responses to Raven's explanation, especially when he reached the topic about Eve. It's more than obvious that both of them are not going to be pretty happy with continuing the subject. Hence, one last nod from Aisha, and she's completely dropping it.]

...I see, I'll ask her this later. [Read: She won't. For the time being. Ended up by the wrong end of laser is the last thing Aisha wants, okay.

And lastly, the most important thing to say:]

I'm sorry. It must be so hard on you. [Said with the sympathetic looks Aisha will ever muster.] It's not your fault, Raven.

action; tbh I've been later. ...late-er. late-r? ...you know what I mean 1/2

[unkindnessof]

[this is a combo tag, all my icons are either too surprised or not surprised enough]

action; in which Raven is really dumb

[unkindnessof]

... What are you even apologizing for? It isn't as if you'd known what happened, or even could've. Besides— [it wasn't even him who'd been the worst off in that incident, Eve really should deserve those condolences more than him, everything considered, fair's only fair

but he still can't- say that, properly.]

There are— more important matters. [Than trying to comfort him for a reason he doesn't even know. His question about why she was apologizing was twofold.]
