[ Thirty seconds of tuneless humming--beeeeeeeeep! ]

[ He'd tried his best to just stay away from it all, really. It hadn't been too hard with the orphanage and the recent chaos, but now that that was over with and he can no longer go the orphanage, he finds himself worrying.

With Oswald there, Jack might be less inclined to pull anything, but it's Jack. At the very least a warning wouldn't hurt, right?

It's taken a few days of deliberation, but . . . ]

Don't trust Jack.

Why not? He's the hero of Sablier, right?

Do you always believe everything you're told?

[ He has wondered if (when?) Leo would crack, and how. Truth be told, he'd have taken bets on another appearance of Jabberwock, but he is relieved that this might perhaps turn out to be something less dramatic. ]

It depends on who's doing the telling.

He can't be trusted, don't let Oz get too close.

Is this some feeble attempt to discharge your guilty conscience? So that when the worst happens, you can say to yourself, "well, I tried."

[ Switching to audio is a risk; because not only is he worried, he is excited, and it's difficult to hide this in his voice. But his last attempt to wheedle the information out of Leo was a failure; so this time, he'll try a different approach, one that he's not actually used to. ]

Try harder.

[ A direct approach. ]

Vague warnings are no good. They help no one. If you've got something to say, then say it. Come and tell me, face to face. You know where to find me.

[ There's a sharp sound, like he was about to snap something in retort but thought better of it and cut himself off.

A pause and then the reluctance is clear in his voice, but: ]

Fine. But you can't tell Oz, he doesn't want to know.

I'll see yooooou~♪

[ End transmission ]
