Mask or Menace - IC Inbox

[dreadinquisitor]

He's gotten better with his communicator - a part of him even likes it! He'll probably get back to you, if you leave him a message.

Conversely, do it the old fashioned way. He'll definitely get back to you.

[Content in the knowledge that Poe was on his way, he stepped off the sidewalk and lowered himself slowly to the curb. He'd only just woken, and so often sleep simply eluded him, yet he honestly felt tired.

He reads over Poe's last message slowly, head hanging as it sank in.

He knew better than to actually ask, but he thought it.

Why me?]

Damn.

[flightforfreedom]

honestly?

i'll take any damn win right now

so i'm just glad you're back.

[As much as the sentiment meant to him, Maxwell's heart still broke for him.]

...That's me. A helper.

Anybody else know about my disappearing act? Beth-- I'm guessing BB-8 kept you two informed. Anyone else that might need an update?

[flightforfreedom]

yeah. i told beth.

didn't mention it to anyone else, but that doesn't mean no one else noticed

[He flicks through is past messages, in case anyone had tried to reach him while he was missing, but finds nothing. Though, of course, that didn't necessarily mean anything.

He settles on a few simple messages, not wanting to concern anyone who hadn't been otherwise. He pauses on Dorian's name.]

I didn't see him. Dorian.

It was still there, my time, waiting for me. But I didn't see him.

[flightforfreedom]

[There's a long pause.]

is that a good or a bad thing?

[dreadinquisitor]

I don't know.

I don't know what I expected.

[flightforfreedom]

last we spoke, you were worried you wouldn't go home at all

so better than expected, at least

[dreadinquisitor]

Yes.

There is that.

I suppose, I'll just have to keep trying figure out the rest.

[flightforfreedom]

yeah

figuring out the rest is something i get, trust me

don't do well at it, but i get it

[dreadinquisitor]

You said it, not me.

[A beat.]

And at least we've got each other to keep company with while we do. That's more than many can say.
