this isn't some elaborate ruse to get me alone and snap my spine in two, is it?

[interior]

Only if you ask for it.

I got hurt.

[interior]

[Immediate:]

Where are you?

may 22nd, voice.

[rehandle]

[ Like a knock at a firmly barred door, Stephen leaves a thought for Takeshi to answer or not. ]

I need to speak with you. It's about Ignatius.

[ In part, at least. But he imagines that will be enough of an indicator as to the greater issue. ]

[interior]

Unless there's been a change in the last twenty-four hours, I know the situation.

[rehandle]

[ It's when this is over and he's sitting alone in the aftermath with the shock of it, dazed and frantic all at once, that his thoughts reach out beyond his own borders to drop a plain and aching question for Takeshi to hear. ]

Are you there?

[interior]

[He'd been expecting this, in one shape or another. Intended to make the reach himself, if he didn't hear anything within a certain amount of time. Simply:]

Where do you need me to be?

[interior]

Boyfriend? I'm not fifteen, Iggy.

[ Pretty immediately after he sees the KO: ]

Hey, I know Stephen has an emotion allergy, but it's because he's got too many, not because he's got none. Are you trying to cut him out or...?

[interior]

Or I was shutting him down before he could "get my ass".

[rehandle]

[ He gives it an hour or so after this. Long enough to have a conversation with Quentin, to take a breath and cool off, to talk himself down for now from just turning up in Takeshi's space.

Instead, compromise, he turns up in his head. ]

Are you ready to speak with me yet?

[interior]

I didn't realise I'd stopped.

I would like to see you. No physical contact. No necromancy. I don't even need to be in close proximity. I just need to lay my own eyes upon you and observe your thalergy.

I have noticed the trend of unusually elevated thalergy in those that have experienced the adverse psychological effects you have admitted to experiencing. Will you allow this?

[interior]

Define "thalergy".

voice,

[rehandle]

[ Whenever he's finished with the stomach debacle, probably no longer than a day after they last spoke - ]

Takeshi.

[interior]

[With no notable delay:]

Stephen.

( a door opening, teeth skimming the water's edge of kovacs' mind, not yet wading in. danny doesn't say i'm back or hi, takeshi or i really wish you could fix me but don't tell me i said that, he just says: )

is it sooner or later yet?

[interior]

I'd say it's later. But like I told you, it's up to you.

voice

[lambencies]

Takeshi. Will you hear my apology for what happened in the castle?

[interior]

I'm listening.

Voice

[minuteofangle]

So.

[ His voice comes out in a drawl. ]

You still in one piece? Inquiring minds wanna know.

[interior]

I'll need to know which minds those are, first. Specifics of my answer depend on whether I like them or not.

backdated to the 6th

[rehandle]

Did you still use the Gregorian calendar back in the future?

[interior]

One day we're going to have to have a talk about your ideas of "the future".

before the town spirals into chaos i guess!

[lascivient]

are you available or shall i settle for someone whose face is likely kinder in shadows

[interior]

Insulting my co-workers isn't going to make me more available.

voice;

[dead_tongue]

Ok, you said you weren't busy so like... I have really good news and I know it's probably not the best time but can I tell you anyway?

[interior]

[Takeshi, currently smashing a bug in the face with an axe, responds fairly immediately:]

No bad time for good news.

delivery

[dead_tongue]

[Left in Kovac's room at the brothel are several of sketches of Kovacs, and a note:]

I couldn't say it to your face because I was scared you'd stop me. I have to go. Trust that I'm strong enough to be okay, because I know that I am.

I love you.
