Jade, I...hope you're well.

[Vatheon - Voice]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade seemed confused at the voicemail before returning it.]

More or less. Is there something amiss?

[Vatheon - Voice]

[closedcircuit]

The kidnapper and murderer is...still at work, after all.

[Vatheon - Voice]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Of course.

[There's a bit of a pause as Jade ponders that before he shakes his head to himself.]

I meant if there was a reasoning for your message.

[Not many people reached out to specifically talk to him.]

[Vatheon - Voice]

[closedcircuit]

What do you do, Jade, when you can't do what you're meant to be doing? What you know you should be doing?

[Well, Ky does, so deal with it, Jade.]

[Vatheon - Voice]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[That was met with silence. Jade had stopped his writing, tapping the pen on the paper idly.]

I find something else to occupy myself until such a time comes that I can resume my duty.

[ A dry huff of air. ]

I'm sorely in need of that for myself, as it turns out. Do you have any suggestions that don't require... physical capability I currently lack?

[Vatheon - Voice]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Are you all right, Ky?

[Vatheon - Voice]

[closedcircuit]

Physically speaking, no. I've been injured.

[Vatheon - Voice]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

How so? Are you alright?

[Vatheon - Voice]

[closedcircuit]

The, ah, murderer become kidnapper took me. And I'm fine, really, other than the broken arm. Which is in a cast.

[Vatheon - Voice]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Hm. They're certainly bold.

[Vatheon - Voice]

[closedcircuit]

I can't sort out memory from hallucination of it, I'm afraid.

[Vatheon - Voice]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Mm... Maybe you will be able to soon.

[Vatheon - Voice]

[closedcircuit]

I hope so.

[Vatheon - Voice]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Back to the point, I suggest you take time to rest and heal. You'll only be making the situation worse if you try to work in such a state.

[Vatheon - Voice]

[closedcircuit]

I can't not work, though. I need something to focus on.

[Vatheon - Voice]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Try arts and crafts. I'm sure that'll keep your mind busy.

[Vatheon - Voice]

[closedcircuit]

I'm...not sure I see how.

[Ky's still kind of out of it, and not going to call offense unless he knows it's intentional.]

Re: [Vatheon - Voice]

Well, calming things such as knitting, sewing, making paper cranes and the like all require concentration on something that isn't what was previously on your mind. Plus, the actions are calming.

[Vatheon - Voice]

[closedcircuit]

I've never done that sort of thing before...

My right arm is broken, could I still do that?

Re: [Vatheon - Voice]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Hmmm. Likely not, then.

Re: [Vatheon - Voice]

[closedcircuit]

Well...thank you for the suggestion.

[Vatheon - Voice]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

My apologies I'm not much more help. What have you been doing to pass the time thus far?

Re: [Vatheon - Voice]

Reading. [ Praying. ] Walking around. Not nearly enough.
