[L and Viren do make a good team; perhaps surprisingly so, considering how secretly adversarial L has felt toward Myr's other Bonded at various points in the past. It's to the extent that when Viren signs off, with grace, that L feels momentarily adrift, left alone with his ire and his conflict and his deep, troubling concern for Myr that is perhaps a convenient projection of his own deeply concerning situation.

Or his own deeply concerning hypocrisy, but... he'd prefer not to reflect, or dwell, or consider. Not at this time. He murmurs a quick word of parting to Viren, probably too casual for what the situation calls for, but brevity might be better at this time. There are raw things exposed prematurely; shadows he perhaps jumped at too quickly, slights that might be imagined, feelings that might be deeply hurt.

He swallows, looking away, though he knows Myr can't see him.]


I think... another time, perhaps.

[Sorry.]

You'll be safe?

[I hope. Please.]
