[ A few days ago, the hospital was chaos, though he was sure he's seen flickers of familiar red hair and seals along the way. Now, he's recalling how to text, fidgeting with the tablet ( a swear here and there ), but it seems to end surprisingly smoothly. ]
Recovered?
[ ( are you feeling better, but typing all that out is giving away too much, or something. )

[ Out of all of them, Kanda is the one Lavi's been the least worried about. Because he's Kanda and the strongest among them so really, he hadn't been too worried when he hadn't seen him in the catacombs.
Still, the text comes as a pleasant surprise and a relief. ]
Aw Yu, were you worried about me? I knew you cared!
Don't worry, I'm doing much better.

[ and there had indeed been very little to worry about; whatever injuries had been sustained were minor and healed quickly.
fine, as always.
but then he's switching to voice because texting is still unnatural to him and how else would Lavi hear his irritation? ]
I just still need to land you a hit for that stupid thing you made me watch, you idiot! [ and punching him when he was sick would've been a little too much. ]

[ Oh man, that's like music to his ears. He'll switch too so Kanda can hear his amusement. ]
You could've just left, y'know.
[ Just casually pointing that out because it's not like he shackled him to the bed and made him watch, but fine Lavi will roll with it. ]
Are you inviting me to spar?

[ There's no answer to the actual, logical point because yes, he could've left. But he didn't and we Don't Talk About That. ]
[ . . . But oh, there's a thought. He was actually inviting you to get beat up but. ] Tch - Sure. Been a while since I had someone to swing at.

[ It's okay, Yu. Your secret is (relatively) safe with him. Never mind he already told Allen.
And honestly, after being bedridden for so long, he needs the exercise. ]
Alright. I'm a little rusty, so please be gentle with me!
[ A beat, and then he adds: ]
Ah, and sorry, the clothes you lend me got torn up during the chaos. I'll get you new ones, 'kay?

[ He made Allen watch it too, it's only fair!! Or something.
Truth be told he doesn't hold much hope for Kanda actually holding back, he's seen the spars with Allen after all, but hey. ]
Then I'm getting ya something nice. [ Because clothes are important, especially a good pair of pants! So there. ]

Hey Lavi! Just giving you a heads up that I'm being pulled for a private mission with Gamora today, so I'll be out for a few days. See you later!
Stay out of trouble!

Stay out of trouble!

It's a date! I'll have the best stories, just you wait and see!
Thank you. See you later!
Thank you. See you later!
[So after dealing with Cross and speaking to Allen and lurking around on rooftops yesterday, Link doesn't quite have the energy to speak to each Exorcist face to face, so instead they will all receive the following text message:]
Good day, Exorcist.
This message is for the purpose of notifying you of my arrival to Exsilium, and to inform you that Allen Walker has been made aware of the basic reason I was assigned to watch over him.
I would advise you to speak with Walker at your next convenience.
[He'll let the device sign his name for him.]

[He'll let the device sign his name for him.]
[It's a minute or two before a response comes, and though it was tempting to respond with text, he opts to pick up on the other end as speaking will be quicker.]
Bookman Junior. [That's a greeting.] I told him the truth.
Bookman Junior. [That's a greeting.] I told him the truth.
[Link's voice remains even, which is probably all the more frustrating.]
What guarantee is there that not telling him will prevent any awakening? He ought to know what he faces, and this is a unique opportunity for the one who knows the most about his situation to be of use and support to him when it is otherwise no longer a possible.

And what right have you to keep the truth from him? I did give him a choice whether or not he wished to hear the explanation.
[Huffs] If that is the case then I certainly have a job to do as well.
Are you not confident that you can be of some comfort to him?

[It takes him a moment to respond. "Unnecessary." Of course, everyone would think so. He hears Cross' harsh words again about Allen withdrawing from the other Exorcists. Recalls with a sting the lack of recognition in Allen's expression when he made the first call. Remembers wavering words spoken quietly in a prison cell beneath the Order: "Not knowing is frightening, isn't it?"
He wonders if he's a little disappointed in Lavi...]
Walker is tenacious. And he values his comrades in the Order. I'm certain given time and the proper support his mood will recover. If you're worried about the weight he has to carry then perhaps you should make certain he knows you're willing to carry it with him.

[ There's a million retorts he has to that, but ultimately the only response that Link is going to get is a brief loud CRASH before the feed is abruptly cut off.
Because Lavi has just thrown his tablet across the room and into the wall.
Sorry, try again later. (But preferably not.) ]

[Link sighs, folding up the tablet. Well, perhaps he'd been too harsh. The other was a Bookman, after all.]
