whatwas[If there's one thing Adstringendum is good at, it's yanking people around. Where Horst had been laughing and giddy the night before, he's...well, not now.]
Mina was sent home. I'm sure those of you who knew here are aware, but....
[But he personally checked everywhere she could possibly have gone. Just in case. Hope springs eternal, they say.
As he shuts off the feed, there's the faint sound of something German-sounding. Or maybe it was just static.]

Are you awake?

Date: 2011-04-29 01:18 am (UTC)Guess we'll find out when you get here.
[Video//Private//Unhackable]
Date: 2011-04-29 01:26 am (UTC)His frown is skeptical.]
You'd prefer to discuss it in person?
[Video//Private//Unhackable]
Date: 2011-04-29 01:29 am (UTC)Wouldn't you?
[Video//Private//Unhackable]
Date: 2011-04-29 01:32 am (UTC)I can't do something like what Mina wanted. Not right now. But I'm open to...other things.

Date: 2011-04-29 02:00 am (UTC)[But yes.]
There isn't much I wouldn't do for you already, Cloud. Surely you knew that.
[Video//Private//Unhackable]
Date: 2011-04-29 02:05 am (UTC)And realized that he still didn't regret it.]
I broke up with Rei.
[And that is the closest thing to a yes you're ever going to get.]
[Video//Private//Unhackable]
Date: 2011-04-29 02:08 am (UTC)...I'm sorry.
[And he'd normally leave it at that, let Cloud explain if he wished. But he doesn't know when they broke up, so the timing--just a few days after Horst and Cloud had some fairly rowdy sex--makes him feel even more guilty than he already did.]
It wasn't because of what we did, was it?
[Video//Private//Unhackable]
Date: 2011-04-29 02:17 am (UTC)[You'd know if she did, Horst. The entire city would have been torn down by now.]
I'd been putting it off for a while. It just... needed to end.
[Video//Private//Unhackable]
Date: 2011-04-29 02:23 am (UTC)This is a hellish place to have to break up.
[Video//Private//Unhackable]
Date: 2011-04-29 02:25 am (UTC)[He's not nearly as hurt as he should be.
He's silent for a moment after speaking, before finally:]
I'll let you know my answer tomorrow night.
[Video//Private//Unhackable]
Date: 2011-04-29 02:29 am (UTC)[It's only fair to hear it in person; and whatever the answer, they still have a game of darts to play.]

Date: 2011-04-29 02:31 am (UTC)[And with that the feed clicks off. He has some thinking out in the waste to do.]
