[He hands him the coffee and picks up a local anesthetic.]
Well, I am a shady character. But do you recall when you died and went on a little trip because none of us were aware you were missing let alone where you might be found?
Well. We did talk about getting something that would allow each other to know our locations, and I don't think you'd have surgical tools ready to use on me for no good reason, so. It wasn't hard to guess.
And yet that was a while ago. You should not underrate your memory and ability to jump to correct conclusions.
[He'll go about it efficiently, making the smallest incision under Five's armpit and inserting the tiniest little microchip before using one stitch to patch him up again.]
[ He does have a high pain tolerance but he'll appreciate how efficient and painless that is - even if it's not necessary, he likes being taken care of ]
You won't catch me being modest anytime soon, but I do like to brag about the right stuff. Still. I'll take the praise.
Have you managed to put these on Hades and Vergil yet?
[ a pause, then he seems to remember something ]
—I'd also like to share my position with Caeli. Given that he was the one who found me dead, I think this would help him.
[He'll gently wipe away the blood and use gauze and surgical tape to cover the wound, letting Five lower his arm.
The request makes him pause, but he finishes cleaning up and offers Five his hand to help him down.]
I am not your keeper, my dear friend. You may share your position with whomever you seem fit. And you need not seek my permission. I trust in your judgement.
Let us go get comfortable and I will ask you lend me your phone a moment.
Well. I don't know if sharing mine will also connect him to yours, so I figured I should at least ask permission for that.
[ he'll take his hand, and take the chance to bring it to his lips ]
... Thanks. For taking care of this. Obviously I hope I won't be stupid enough for a repeat, but this does put me at ease. As does the knowledge I'll be able to track you all if anything should happen.
Aside from the obvious consequences of my death, I did hate that you have had to experience that. If that happened to you or Hades I would have - well. Handled it. But not well.
That is sweet. But while you know each of us can handle our own demise, you are right. It is far more difficult to handle someone I love being in such a position. And the fear of you being lost entirely is too great.
[He'll install the tracking app and register it with all their gps chips. Now Five can always find old men or Elidibus. Though he laughs as he hands the phone back.]
Well, I'm not surprised you think so. It is a weight off my mind at least.

Re: Day 431?
I'm afraid it isn't an exciting or thrilling surprise. Something of a practical nature.
Re: Day 431?
[ and true enough, there he is, knocking at baritones ]
Re: Day 431?
Coffee is brewing, though I'll ask you to bring it to the bathroom for this.
Re: Day 431?
Well. Not the weirdest place I drank coffee in, so I'll take that.
Re: Day 431?
[He'll detour to the kitchen to fetch the coffee before heading in to the bathroom though.]
Re: Day 431?
[ but he will follow him, and look around FOR CLUES ]
Re: Day 431?
[There's some surgical instruments and miscellaneous nearly arranged on the counter. Which he pats an empty space on.]
Come sit and remove your shirt for me.
Re: Day 431?
[ he's going to take his shirt off regardless, discarding it before he sits down ]
And yes, that would be why it's strange.
Re: Day 431?
Well, I am a shady character. But do you recall when you died and went on a little trip because none of us were aware you were missing let alone where you might be found?
Re: Day 431?
[ he'll take that, and drink it pretty much right away ]
That's good.
Re: Day 431?
[So Five can always find old men when he wants. He taps Five's arm.]
Lift this for me please. I'll make it as painless as possible.
Re: Day 431?
My pain tolerance is high, so you won't have to worry about that. Nice to know Elidibus being on a different Unit has its advantages.
Re: Day 431?
Tolerance or not there is no reason to make it hurt.
[He'll apply the anesthetic and reach for the scalpel.]
I must say I always appreciate your intelligence, discerning what this was about in a few words.

Re: Day 431?
[He squeezes Five's hand and tugs him close to kiss his cheek.]
It puts my mind at ease as well. Though none of us are foolish, anything could happen in a moment of carelessness.
Re: Day 431?
Aside from the obvious consequences of my death, I did hate that you have had to experience that. If that happened to you or Hades I would have - well. Handled it. But not well.
Re: Day 431?
Re: Day 431?
Re: Day 431?
[He'll hand him his shirt and tug him out to Emet's main room.]
I'll take your phone if you would.
Re: Day 431?
Of course. And by the way, I was right. This was an exciting surprise.
Re: Day 431?
Well, I'm not surprised you think so. It is a weight off my mind at least.
