"Vio, huh...? So you've gotta be..."

Oh, look at the smile on that screen!!

"You're from his Light World, then! It's nice to finally meet you!"

A large hand extends to shake the hero's own.

"I'm--

The words physically manifest over his head before disappearing.

"I'm from a Dark World too, just one far away I guess!"

[deceivior]

Well, at least he seems quite friendly! How does that glass box work, though?

"Yes, I suppose you could put it that way. He's, in a sense, our counterpart in the Dark World."

"Mr. Ant Tenna." He repeats. "A pleasure. I fear Shadow hadn't mentioned you before. So, there's a Dark World in other places..." Tenna didn't seem like the kind of creatures he'd expect from that place, though.

[phantommirrored]

Honest!! Honest honest honest!! I wouldn't lie to you!

[deceivior]

I believe you, I believe you.

You're taking this very seriously.

[edgedwing]

He's blushing. This isn't...!

[deceivior]

Hey, no judgement. It's kinda sweet that you're so close.

[anttennatime]

"...Huh. There really are two of you!"

[deceivior]

Oh, the funky gossip stone. They are taller than he expected.

"Two of...? Oh, you mean Shadow? I guess it gets a little confusing? I'm Vio."

[phantommirrored]

What!! We're not!!! Oh noo..

[deceivior]

Right, so you've said.

[deceivior]

Typical lover's quarrel, huh...

[heartlurch]

💜for a patron🖤

[lalaluuz]

He sure does~

[deceivior]

Faced with all this.... information, I suppose I can see it. I'm getting a headache.

[phantommirrored]

What look!!

[deceivior]

That one. I'm leaving, I'm leaving...

[phantommirrored]

You'd believe the funky gossip stone over your own bestie????

[deceivior]

You're making such a big deal about it, it's hard not to! I'll back off, okay, don't give me that look.

[txt] meet me at the cafe near the museum.

Sephiroth put his phone back in his pocket and hurried off towards the cafe in Archimedes. He knew he was worrying too much over Shadow, but he kept flying too close to the sun. Sooner or later, Aurelius would find out or accidentally hurt him with the blessing.

Sephiroth stepped inside of the cafe and ordered a drink for Vio and himself. He sat down at a booth and waited patiently for Vio to show up. He hoped that since Vio and Shadow were closer, he could talk some sense into Shadow before he ended up dead.

[deceivior]

He's sure he's seen the cafe Sephiroth is talking about, but still it takes him a moment to locate it. Vio's never been here, after all. Regardless of his hurry, getting a little lost is unavoidable. Still, he sighs in relief when he steps inside and finds the other with a quick scan of the patrons, hard to miss that extremely light hair.

"Apologies, did I keep you waiting too long?" Comes the rushed greeting as he moves to sit down across from the teen. He's just a little out of breath, but nothing he's unused to. "I was a little lost." There's two drinks ready, and somehow he has the feeling this won't be a short conversation.

"Well, it sounds like you have quite a tale to share with me, huh?"

[phantommirrored]

NO. NO I DON'T!!! GO AWAY.

[deceivior]

The funky Gossip Stone says otherwise, but fine, okay.

[deceivior]

Shadow has a crush?

[deceivior]

[  TXT  ]  :  how  illegal  would  it  be  if  i  showed  up  with  a  raccoon  in  a  cowboy  hat?

How is that illegal? Maybe the laws in the island are that different from Hyrule, not that he can guess why raccoons would be, either.

✉︎: Who's wearing the cowboy hat, you or the raccoon? ✉︎: Not that it matters, I don't think either would be illegal. ✉︎: Unless you're trespassing or stealing the raccoon, but that'd be a separate issue.

[deceivior]

[  TXT  ]  :  okay,  so  hear  me  out. cereal  is  basically  cold  soup,  right?

Surely he's misreading this, right? Surely this is Sephiroth still practicing his hylian and somehow messing up some words, right? But this is a text, not paper... He is aghast. This feels like something he should expect from Shadow.

✉︎: Tell me you're not eating cereal for lunch or dinner. ✉︎: I'll concede to the similarities of pasta and cereal as grains, but... ✉︎: You are not claiming milk and broth are similar, are you? ✉︎: Cereal is not soup!

Sephiroth??? You wouldn't add milk to soup or broth to cereal, right???

[deceivior]

[ TXT ] : do you want the good news, the bad news, or the chaotic news first?

Oh Goddesses, he has a bad feeling about this. Guess this is the weekly occurrence that has him questioning his life choices.

✉︎: Are the chaotic news good or bad adjacent? ✉︎: You know what, never mind. ✉︎: Bad, chaotic, good. In that order.

Play it safe.

"Ha! I'm surprised you'd even suggest that...Knowing you'd loooose!!!" Came more friendly and competitive banter, followed by the shade sticking his tongue out at the other, being childishly confident in his swordplay skills.

"You're on! I'll be sure to take proper care of you after I wipe the floor with you."

[deceivior]

"Overconfident, are you?" As he expected, it was the kind of person Shadow was, and he very much appreciated that. "I sure hope you've been practicing with your sword, someone I know was always a bit too reliant on magic."

Distracted from arson for the time being? Check. Was this technically still a date, though? Unclear, but maybe he should plan something else just in case.
