[It's early when Dylas' message is sent out. Too early. The sun isn't up in most places, and it even catches him yawning.]

Yue isn't here anymore. If anyone is looking for him, he's...gone. He's been gone for weeks.

[There's a long silence that follows. Dylas has been minding himself for more than a month now, not showing his face in public, but...]

I was thinking about fishing since it's that time of year. If any of you are interested in coming along, I might consider telling you where I'll be. It depends on how I'm feeling.

Doggone it... I was startin' to like that guy, too.

[Red's got a still-burbling percolator next to him when he answers, though it definitely doesn't stop him from looking bleary and weary. Stupid early morning training sessions.

He rubs his eye as he mutters a response.]

Sure, just lemme see if I can get a harpoon launcher set up...

Yue...? ( well. that was some news. the last time they'd met that harpy, he'd made it clear that he and dylas were close... )

I see. That's unfortunate, but thank you for letting us know.

( there's a silence on rutile's end, too. )

Where is it you'll be fishing?

[The video opens to Noodle waving excitedly, a purple party hat tilted on her head. Somehow the white lace bow on her pom stays in place despite the hat and despite how the pom wiggles with each flap of her arm.] HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Can we go fishing with you, kupo?

[She's still flailing happily when the camera turns to capture Gladio, wearing a lopsided red party hat and a grin.] Heard it's your birthday today, Dylas. Figured I'd shoot you a message and wish you a Happy Birthday! [His smile doesn't entirely reach his eyes, but it's better than the hollow ones from earlier in the week.]

If you're willin', Noodle and I would like t'join you on your fishing outing.

[All the time Snow had spent feeling jealous of Yue... now he felt like it was wasted. He still might be angry at Dylas, but he'd had no problems with the bird. And... he did understand what losing a friend was like.]


sorry

i can't tell if you actually want someone to come along or not.

[You're an enigma, Dylas.]
