Kadaj? [...] Kadaj...

Has anyone seen him lately? Is he gone or has he just run off? He wasn't at his lesson the other day... I know he runs off sometimes without telling anyone...

But he's gone, isn't he?

[He sighs.] Go in peace, giovane.

[The feed isn't on, but Minato is quiet for a long moment as he checks the network for Kadaj's signal.

Only after he realizes that it's no longer there does he turn it onto voice.]

... His frequency is gone.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

I... see.

[Kadaj was like one of his children, in a way. ... He'll be missed.]

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

[He sighs.] He's better off in his own world. [Supposedly.]

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

Most people are. Generally speaking.

[Minato isn't, and they both know that.]

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

[Neither is Giovanni so--they're on the same page here.]

Yes. That is a good thing at least.

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

[Yup, same page of deadness.]

Yes. Really, one of the few comforts here.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

Indeed...

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

But how are you otherwise? Are you well?

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

I'm doing fine, Minato. What about your household?

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

Good, although the turtles are already getting restless because of the coming winter. They can't be outside as much when it starts getting cold.

Makes sense. They did all right before though so I know they will again. I pity them though.
