This is Maketh Tua. State your business.
[Maketh nearly screams in frustration. She doesn't have time for this.]
What? Of course I am.
What? Of course I am.
Then you need to be at your best, or he will make his next display out of you, and then perhaps someone will rashly try to avenge you.
[She's not going to mince words here.]
He defeated someone who can move as fast as Shadow. Sato is the only one who wins in this game if you continue as you are.

[He steps to the side to let her in]
With sugar if there is any, but if not then just as it is is fine.
[He then shuts the door behind them]
How have you been, Maketh?

[Because they have both been here so long it's easy to take for granted that they will continue to be. And while Henry holds to the belief that they will not be parted, gestures like this are important. Even if one of them disappeared tomorrow, the oath — and so their bond — would still exist.]
Always, sister.
Always, sister.
I will not fail. I have a plan and it does not concern you.
[It can't involve anyone else, it has to be all her doing or else it might go wrong.]
[It can't involve anyone else, it has to be all her doing or else it might go wrong.]
Sugar we have.
[Cream as well, though he didn't ask. Maketh begins preparing the mugs. She brought enough for herself as well.]
Circumstances have been better.

Is it more than just this Sato guy? Or would you rather I not ask?
It's not something I wish to discuss.
[And it's better if she buries it completely. It's no one's issue but her own. Maketh prefers her personal failings to stay out of sight. She taps her nails against the rim of the mug.]
Here. I added sugar.

[Oh dear. Maketh's obsessed and not thinking clearly. What "fun" this is going to be to try dissauding her.]
Sato will be expecting retaliation from you. You are emotionally compromised and not at your best right now.
[She pauses, considering how to try to get through to Maketh.]
Why do you need to rush to deal with the situation? We are all stuck here within Hadriel's walls. There is only so far he can go, and there are few, if any, who might help him hide. There is no reason at all that your plan cannot wait until you've eaten and slept.

Thank you very much.
[He takes it in both hands, enjoying the warmth against his palms]
Shall we continue our earlier discussion then? Since it seems like you aren't all too eager to chit chat.
[Whistler says it in his usual, easygoing manner, shuffling in the direction of the couch]
Please, make yourself at home [He adds as an after thought]

[Maketh's response is quite simple at that point.
She throws the phone at the wall.]

Yes. That would be best.

[Carlisle isn't the sort to reach out to people, and generally not the type to offer up his... more specialized services to just anyone; however, given the latest news on the communicators, knowing he's been able to help in similar cases before, being aware of Glacius' work with the Guard... and needing to make amends to Shadow in some way, he feels he probably should help where he can in this instance.]
Miss Tua,
With the revelation of another potential murder having been discussed on the network, I feel I should let you know where I might be able to be of service in the future. I believe I might have mentioned it to you once before, but I am skilled in scrying the dead, should another body appear and you find yourself in need of answers a corpse can no longer give you.
- Carlisle

That is good to hear. Sadly, I fear we may have need of your skill in the future.
Thank you, Carlisle.
Thank you, Carlisle.
The gods fear their enemies are closing in. They will need more power than ever and in my experience, such individuals are hardly picky about where it comes from.
I am wary.
I am wary.
A wise decision in trying times.
If you should need me, you are welcome to call me, or send word with Glacius. I appreciate that he has a place within the Guard.
[Somewhere to belong.]

[Ikaruga arrives at Maketh's door about a minute later with a sharp knock.]
Maketh. I brought something for you to eat.
Maketh. I brought something for you to eat.
[And now she's here. Maketh considers pretending she didn't hear the knock. It's childish. But part of her feels childish - this is foolish and she doesn't need the distraction, she needs to work and no one is going to help her. So she must do it herself, she must --
Stop that. Focus.
Maketh grits her teeth.
Opens the door a crack.]
I don't want to discuss this, Ikaruga.

Understood.
He does. I trust him.
[She doesn't trust easily.]
He does. I trust him.
[She doesn't trust easily.]
That is high praise in a place like this, where trust seems a rare commodity. He does try to do his best for the city, but it is not often easy, especially in such trying times.
What hasn't happened is a more accurate question, what with the murders, the gods, the city splitting apart for a time.
[There's a pause, then he sends another text.]
Did you know the recently departed, Miss Tua?
[There's a pause, then he sends another text.]
Did you know the recently departed, Miss Tua?
[There are a lot of ways she could answer that.]
I did.
I did.
Ah.
I only knew Shadow. He was not always kind, but I do not believe he entirely deserved what happened to him.
