[It's some time after Sieglinde's post and subsequent meetings that Haise goes to see her. Obviously he doesn't know what's followed her post, only allowed some time to avoid distracting her from seeing to a treatment for Graham, hoping not to be disruptive. During that time he's prepared a few snacks and some hot cocoa for her (coffee for himself), which he carries along on a serving tray.
Regardless of her objections, Haise knows exactly how absorbed Sieglinde gets in her work. She seemed even more determined when something was on her mind, if the situation with her squidge on Zeta-12 is any indication.
So it is that he's making for her room with these provisions in tow, headed to check up on her. Masamune was important to her, he knows that, even if he doesn't know just how much so]

[ on her doorstep is a jar. in that jar there is a rat. the rat is twisted and dried, pretty gross, all and all. it's fitted properly with a bow and a little tag attached to the lid. ]
Found this little fellow in the sewers. He's certainly seen quite a bit.
He told me that he likes science.

[Sometime after the 1st of March, Sieglinde will wake up to find a a folded letter underneath a carved jade pendant in the shape of a dragon, strung on a black silk cord, and a small bag with twenty seeds in it, sitting on a table. The letter written in a neat, formal hand, and reads:]
Sieglinde,
I'm so, so sorry that this is in writing, rather than in person, though I've been assured that it will be delivered with all due haste. ALISTAIR has seen fit to reassign me to the team Masamune is on - which I am glad of, but I wish it wasn't at the expense of leaving you behind. Rest assured I haven't forgotten about you, and I will do everything in my power to get you moved here as well. In the meantime, remember that there are people who care about you, even if we're seperated. Protect yourself, protect those around you, and share your gifts with those who need it. I still have your pendant, though I'm not sure it will work across worlds. In return, please accept these gifts, and use them well.
Yours,
Katakura Kojuro

[ There's a lot going on these days, the sort of times that demand more of Sieglinde's attention than that of a brawler. Still, even the best and brightest need breaks, and it's been a while since they've had a chat—which is no excuse to be a stranger.
Plus, what's a better time than the zombie apocalypse. (And the loss of one of their numbers.) ]
Hey, Sully—you got a minute? [ ... ] Actually, even if you don't, do me a favor and try to find one.

[ She actually had been against moving from the hospital at the start, but as the week has ticked on her own temper has grown to the point that she's torn up papers, kicked over her chair, flipped a coffee table in her room and even almost tore up a pillow in her frustration without anyone to cling onto at the time.
Oxytocin has become a new best friend, something she's come to rely on when her mind can't focus as well and all she can think about is the need to eat.
She's taken it before this phonecall update starts, notes spread out in front of her in the living room as they are, and Peter's science suitcase to her right. It's been a blessing, having something to use when she had the bare minimal here. ]
I shall not begin with pleasantaries, only with my update. [ She's a lot more curt than before, wavering on how she tries to make her voice softer because she doesn't want to be like this.
It's just so hard when you've eaten all the snacks you think you can and then even that isn't enough. ]
With the vaccine now in testing stages, I have moved onto Giovanni's blood samples and can ask him for more once he is home. I tested some of the regular blood samples with his as it may be that his antibodies may assume that other blood is a foreign object and elimate anything there. It would seem that is not as big of an issue as I had worried about, however.

Miss Sullivan, do you have a moment? I have a message for you regarding Miss Nevermind.
[This has not been an easy set of days for anyone in this tiny apartment, which feels cramped and clammy now, seeing as the windows are closed. Asher doesn't want to look outside so he tolerates the stuff nature of the air around him, growing weary of the dreary atmosphere. Still, they can't leave just yet, not with the town currently in shambles and the timeline still in jeopardy.
He saunters over to the little work space Sieglinde has set up in their living room and sits himself down next to her, eyeing her openly with worry. After letting out a loud sigh, he offers her a plate of various meats and cheeses, thankful that their electricity has yet to go out.]
Yooooo.
[A tired protest.
She may or may not have noticed, but he is doing his best to keep the people around him together. Jin is asleep, soundly, thankfully, and so is Achilles.
A law student's sleep schedule is never an early one- He has yet to break his habit of staying up late.]
You hungry?
[He laughs, though it's not a bright sound that she will hear.]
I brought ya somethin'.

[It's late into the evening, by the time Haise collects himself enough to contact her. Somehow, he thinks she might be up anyway]
Has anyone yet updated you on the matter of "Doctor" Percy?
[It comes out as abrupt without intention; he's trying hard enough to keep it together that he neglects his typical manners]

[ on the morning of march 31st, sieglinde's jewelcomm will receive two (2) photo messages, along with one (1) simple text. the photos themselves seem to be taken of the cover of a hand-made card and its contents.
the accompanying message reads: ]
(btw sonias got the original.)
[ sorry, science team!! he only had one copy... ]

It would be unwise to acknowledge my wealth so openly.
[ Sieg, have you met some of this team. ]
Tell me where you are. I shall bring something of use.
[ Of course the queen on this team has a diamond. ]

[She would be the final person to whom he bade farewell, for it was she from whom he would have the greatest difficulty parting, not for his own sake, for his heart is resolved on this end and had been so resolved for some time, but for her sake. He had done this once before, abandoning would-be wife and child in his wake as he set sail for Troy, but then he was younger and more careless, and his eyes were set on the resplendent promise of glory, here now they settle upon the grim promise of death.]
Dear Sieglinde, it is Achilles, son of Peleus, who calls upon you this evening. Where might I find you that we may speak? I have news to share that shall no doubt burden your heart, and thus I wish to be beside you when such news is spoken.

[ They're starting to run out of time — and really, this is perhaps a conversation that could wait until they're back in the safety of Oska. When they've all had a chance to decompress, rest, and wrap their heads around what happened.
Except — the words that Sieglinde spoke to her ring in her ears, and Lucina can't just leave all of that be ( Perhaps... even friends— ). So it's reckless, it's stupid, but she's bringing up the menu of the magitek to send her friend a text, anyway. ] Sieglinde?
This is Lucina. [ In case that wasn't obvious. ] Are you occupied at the moment?

[Anthy went back and forth on this--after all, is there really any point in acknowledging what she's gained from what was apparently a random gift? But in the end,the randomness of it makes it less of a threat to her. She wasn't targeted. This wasn't thoughtful. Or rather, it wasn't thoughtful on purpose.]
[In some backwards way, that's safer. And it makes her feel . . . obligated. Her heart ties itself in strange knots, sometimes.]
Miss Green Witch:
Thank you for your gift. I don't know what your motivation was for sending everyone presents, or if they meant as much to others as mine did to me, but it was kind of you regardless. Sometimes we all need reminders of those we are searching for.
Warmly,
[Here she struggles for a moment. A long moment, before--]

[ One good deed deserves another. The evening of the day he receives her gift, there is one waiting outside her door. The note on it reads: For the Green Witch, from your teammate, Kal. Thank you for your thoughtful gift.
Inside is an assortment of baked goods. ]

How are things going for you?
Which is a ... polite beginning to ask if I can get another protection charm. I'm being honest. I'm contacting you with an agenda.
But I am curious as to how you've been. That part is sincere.

[It doesn't take Inuyasha long to sniff out Sieglinde after having already met her once. After their mollusk adventure, but before the chaotic shenanigans of the escorts, he tracks her down.
For a delivery, of course.]
Hey. Here. These are for you. [He brandishes a small set of these bad boys, pulling them from out of the inside of his jacket.] They're from that blue guy.

[It is strange, to say goodbye to the people who are left, because it makes him realize how few and far between they are.
At one point he had really felt what it was like to have some sense of home, surrounded by a small but intimate group of friends who cared about him and felt that he was important, guided by a purpose he believed in. This team is not that, but here is someone who remains from that time, a girl he will still worry about when he goes home. She has lost a father, two in fact, and still struggles to form connections that most young girls her age should.
Asher hopes, for the most part, that she someday she will be happy.]
Hey, so um...
I'm gonna be goin' home soon.
[A sigh. He's not incredibly excited, though he knows he must return.]
I wanted to see ya before I go. Is that cool with you?
