[Oi. -_-

Fine. Looking up at you again.]

It's just difficult to talk about. We both seem to be in a better place now, though.

[inqdeirdra]

[ Fair enough. ]

Hm. Alright, as long as you're really fine.

[ She wonders if Hikaru has told him yet about Aria. And if not Hikaru, some other person. ]

[mordechai]

I am.

[A pause, then a small smile. The look in his eyes is a little sad, yes, but it isn't dark and lost or anything close to what it had been, back in 2012. During the Darkest Vigil.]

Just finding ways to settle into something better properly, that's all.

[inqdeirdra]

[ Smiling at him encouragingly. ]

I trust you'll be able to do that.

[mordechai]

Good to know that you do.

[Lifts an eyebrow at.]

Now if you could just convince certain other parties to let me do my thing, that'd be great.

[Because house arrest sucks, yo.]

[inqdeirdra]

[ Chuckling. ]

As much as I want to, you know I don't get in the way of other people's problems.

[ Reaching out to pat him on the shoulder. ]

Relax. It'll breeze by faster than you know it.

[mordechai]

I'll have to take your word for it.

[Speaking of... glancing to the door now. His usual tell for when he probably needs to break away.]

[inqdeirdra]

[ Noticed that. Gotcha. ]

Somewhere else to be?

[ Where are you off to now, Mr. Mordechai? ]

[mordechai]

Yeah. Need to check if I really am good to ride.

[Midnight Rider slang now, because he hasn't been behind the wheel in ages.

...Well, it feels like ages to him. So.]

[inqdeirdra]

Sounds about right. You have a good birthday.

[ Tipping her can up to him as a farewell. ]
