Hello, everyone. [Though overwhelmed when he first returned, now Armin is calm and composed - nearly solemn, almost military in the way he goes about this. He doesn't enjoy this task, but he takes it very seriously.] I'm sorry it took longer than usual, with everything that happened. [Being sent on a different jaunt, not knowing if he'd see any of his friends ever again.] But... I have the list of people who vanished over the course of the last jaunt and haven't come back.

[He takes a deep breath, then begins the list - slowly and clearly, with a small pause between every name.]

Damian Wayne. Jason Todd. Neria Surana. Lucina. Ryuunosuke Ibuki. Sanosuke Harada. Connor Graham. Labrys. Nick Burkhardt. Phèdre nó Delaunay. Oona. Ken Amada. Junpei Iori. Yoon Yoorae. Chizuru Yukimura. Inigo. Takakage Kobayakawa. Janos Audren.

...

I'm sorry. If anyone has any questions, I'll do my best to answer.

Most of them seemed pretty protective. Mote probably would have tried following me anyway, but when I dove into the whirlpool I held onto him as tight as I could so we wouldn't get separated.

[Sera reaches down and lets Félicité sniff her before she begins gently scratching and petting his furry head. This was nice. Always so much better to have company when missing a friend.]

[Alcuin falls silent, watching Félicité stretch and tilt her head till Sera was skritching a different spot. She sighs, a soft, high-pitched little sound, and her Oracle huffs a quiet laugh.]

You seem to have found precisely the best place. She thanks you and says that she may come visit you from time to time if you are so kind all the time. Selfish creature.

[Félicité flicks an ear at him and cracks an eye, but doesn't bother to move, too busy enjoying the attention.]

[Sera laughs at that.] She is welcome to come over whenever she likes, but she does so at her own risk of making Mote jealous.

[Speaking of Mote, he's currently made his way up to Alcuin's shoulder and is affectionately headbutting the man's cheek for affection. Two can play at the making the other Spirit Companion jealous game!]

[Now it's Alcuin's turn to laugh, and he reaches up to fetch Mote onto his hand, holding the moth close to his chest like a bewinged kitten, stroking his fur and examining him curiously. He's never seen a moth at such close range, let alone one so large. Does Mote like being scritched along the thorax?]

Somehow I think they will work it out together. Felicite and Marzocco are good friends.

[After another moment fondly scritching the moth, he glances over at Sera and asks softly:]

How are you holding up?
