I haven't a clue where he ran off to... But once he's within my sights again, you'll surely answer my call, right? A memory of Amphoreus ought to be enjoyed together, after all. [ and just another sneaky excuse to drop by with a visit — to see how she's been, if she requires any immediate assistance, another moment spent deriving comfort from her continual existence. ]

It's been quite rowdy as of late, but I imagine that hasn't exactly prevented you from venturing beyond the safety of the Valentia. [ an indirect way of asking what she's been up to despite current events? maybe. ]

How far have you've wandered from the Valentia during your outings? [ it doesn't surprise him, still. in his memories, cyrene has always been something of a busybody — wandering about the village, a helping hand to many, her own worries seemingly nonexistent. ]

I've been around the city quite a bit myself. [ phainon, playing host to a spectral soul, thriving in the seemingly endless dark. ]

It's a marvel that we've yet to encounter one another whenever we're out and about. You wouldn't happen to be purposefully avoiding me, would you? [ very obviously kidding. he's aware that she has no reason to. ]

Hmmm... i've been to East Sophia, Water's Edge, Basileios and a little of Gloria, I think! Sometimes hard to keep track when there's just so much to take in, you know~?

That doesn't surprise me one bit. You've never been the type to stay still for long. ♫

[ Thankfully she's VERY aware he's kidding, so of course she has to return the favor. Because why not? ]

Nope. ♥ Though if you really just want a reason to come to see me, you could have just said so~

Allowing you the freedom to roam about the city to your heart's content seems to be working wonders, however. Wouldn't you say this is fate's idea of decreeing that we shall see one another again once the sun surfaces above the dark?

[ except — phainon doesn't want to have to wait that long. not that he ever planned on it. ]

Out of all that you've listed though, which one has earned your fondness the most? Or will you be withholding the act of playing favorites until you've visited all that this world can possibly offer for those beyond these skies?

Not saving the best for the very last? [ just teasing. with the way she is at present, a stark difference compared to his memories, cyrene has likely seen extraordinary sights, met others who are just as much. ]

But, if you end up with those tall walls like before, it'll be like we're kids again, you know. Scaling those heights just to see if you're able to come out and play... Well, things are different now, of course. I'll settle with a stroll around the district you've come to love. [ phainon, sight-seeing with his childhood best friend? it's more likely than one may think! ]

[ it takes little to no deliberation; phainon's response arrives with ease all the same. ]

No matter where we are, no matter the lifetime, my home is your home. [ but does a conversation so light-hearted deserve needless weight? he attempts something jovial: ]

But, with how hard you've worked with everyone to secure Amphoreus' promising tomorrow, it wouldn't hurt to take advantage of this world's short-lived room and board, all free of charge.

[ clearly, he's not serious; what follows right after: ] Think of all the Karterian delicacies that has yet to reach your palate!
