[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?

—I do. You managed to get a tracker?

[ he'll take that, and drink it pretty much right away ]

That's good.

Elidibus provided them at my request. I'll give you the app and all our registrations after.

[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.

[ see this should be creepy for any normal person but it's them so of course it's appreciated instead. And he will lift his arm as he asks ]

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.

[Should be creepy! But it's just kinda cute? Good thing Lahabrea's beloved people don't find this weird.]

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.

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.

I have. And Elodibus as well.

[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.

I do not know if it will, but likely not. Even so, he is important to you and to Hades, that is enough for me.

[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.

[ he nods ]

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.

You will never lose me entirely, I will drag myself from the depths of hell to get back to you guys. That's something you can count on.

Now those are comforting words I do believe.

[He'll hand him his shirt and tug him out to Emet's main room.]

I'll take your phone if you would.

[ he's gonna dress up again and then just hand him his phone ]

Of course. And by the way, I was right. This was an exciting surprise.

[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.

I'll also try to make sure to be at home and asleep at a decent hour so you don't end up getting overly worried about my location. Or tell you I'm fine if not.

[He laughs softly, pulling Five into the couch with him.]

And I'll try not to fret too much should you be out at all hours.

[ oh he likes that. He'll rest against him and just hum at the words, like he's contemplating them ]

Well. The good news is that if I am out at odd ours it's probably with you, Hades or Caeli. So you won't have to fret too much anyway.

[Time to pet Five's hair.]

Well in two of those cases I'll know for sure who you are with at least.

I could always ask Caeli if he'd like to be tracked too.

[ it's a joke but wouldn't that be convenient ]

More people should use these actually. It's convenient.

[He laughs softly.]

I do agree but I wonder how many would think so?

Well. What's the danger in it anyway, we're all still in hell, you're not going to avoid anyone for long.

Who knows. People get so picky about the strangest things. Getting finicky about not wanting to be tracked by others as if the production does not already have cameras on them at all times would not surprise me in the least.

I much prefer how reasonable and practical you are to trying to predict the whims of most.
