[Picture of a phone goes here]

You've reached Ryudo Issei. I can't pick up the phone right now for one reason or another, but if you leave a message, I'll be sure to get back to you as soon as possible.

How long have you known?

[audio]

[stripping.livejournal.com]

What are you talking about?

[audio]

[profcharisma.livejournal.com]

Don't play stupid, it doesn't suit you. How long have you known that Alexander is gone?

[audio]

[stripping.livejournal.com]

A little less than a week.

[audio]

[profcharisma.livejournal.com]

And you didn't find it pertinent to, perhaps, mention it when you found out?

[Instead of, you know, letting him find out when he went to see if Rider would help him with that Shadow business and found out that his phone number was disconnected.]

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Do you think I knew how to bring it up to someone who already hated me for trying to steal him? I'm not trying to get in between you two - I thought you would have found out yourself much earlier.

[audio]

[profcharisma.livejournal.com]

I don't hate you, whatever my Shadow may have lead you to believe. I know that you weren't trying to get between he and I.

I... wasn't sure if he was really gone, for the first day or two.

[More like holding out on the stupid hope that he might still be around.]

[You know how Lancer doesn't really get angry? Oh, he'd acknowledge that he's angry since he's accepted his Shadow. But actually seem like it? No. He'd been careful to keep his anger in check since his death in the fourth war.]

[Until now. Because boy does he ever sound pissed.]

Issei. Sometime in the near future I may well disappear for a short time. Don't panic, and don't let Arturia know that anything is wrong.

W-what's going on?

[audio]

[croibhristeoir]

Nothing. I was merely giving you fair warning in the event such a thing should happen.

[audio]

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Then what made you think such a warning was necessary?

[audio]

[croibhristeoir]

...At the moment, nothing is happening. I was speaking only for a hypothetical situation.

[audio]

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Hypothetically, why would you not want Saber to know that you were gone?

[croibhristeoir]

WhyisSolacallingherselfyourmother.

[unknownrival]

...Because?

[croibhristeoir]

Why don't you seem bothered by this--What is going on?!

[unknownrival]

Take a deep breath and calm down, please.

[croibhristeoir]

I'm calm. I'm as calm as I'm going to be in such a situation.

[unknownrival]

'Such a situation'?

[croibhristeoir]

...How would one go about telling their wife they kissed another woman?

[unknownrival]

Work up to it gently. Don't just drop the news on her immediately.

[croibhristeoir]

That would be the only part of this I find obvious.

What I likely mean to ask is 'should I be prepared for someone else to try to kill Saber'?

[unknownrival]

You know your wife better than I do. Ask yourself that.

[croibhristeoir]

....that's exactly the problem. I feel like I hardly know her at all anymore. I have no idea how she'll react or what to expect.

[unknownrival]

...In that case, prepare for the worst. But you must be honest with her or it will definitely be the worst.
