COMMUNION

Reaching out to Rin is like stepping into a moonlit parlor. Everything is quiet, muted, and neatly tucked away. Almost like a "lobby," of sorts to keep visitors away from the rest of what goes on in her head... and her heart. This space is cool, and placid. Much like the surface of a lake in winter as it reflects the pale glow of the celestial bodies hanging above it in the sky.

A reflection of serenity rather the true thing. A mask of elegance to hide anything that may be unsightly. Anything that may betray her.

[Another wave of relief, but this one more subdued. There's hesitation before responding, but only because of Rin's clear surprise.]

Yes. I am ready to deliver it when you are ready to receive.

[warmare]

You need not trouble yourself personally.

I can provide an address for the courier.

[… Is that it? Was she ignoring what had transpired? Did she even know what had? It is impossible to say.]

[erbe]

No. A courier will not be able demonstrate the failsafe.

[You are my precious first customer. I cannot fail you.]

If you will be indisposed for long I can send a temporary sachet to hold you over.

[warmare]

Why would I be indisposed?

[There isn’t a reason for that. Who would have a reason they couldn’t just receive a parcel in person?]

I will make time in my schedule tomorrow.

[erbe]

[Why indeed? But Tohsaka knows exactly what Hayame is doing because it's what she would do. This is why Rin doesn't press. She respects that boundary because that is what she would want.]

The same location as before?

[warmare]

[She almost says “yes”.

But that would mean leaving Alenroux along the same route as that day. It would mean showing her face all over Springstar. … And the demon already knew. What did it matter anymore.]

No. You will meet me in Alenroux.

[erbe]

I will. As for the time, I am not one for early mornings. Otherwise I am flexible.

[She also can't seem too willing to turn her whole schedule upside down for the other woman. They're on opposite sides after all.]

[warmare]

Late afternoon, then.

[It's not like she's going anywhere.

She "sends" the location. A home that stands alone far from the main settlement, near the edge of the once-monster-filled woods.]
