[ Right now it's easy to just want people to be mad at, even if Hawks deliberately didn't tell people what he was up to. Another little pause between messages. ]
I just hope he's not doing something stupid like that again. Or doing something stupid because he's feeling bad about going after them, despite it all.
[ Apparently he's bringing that up a little, after all. ]
[ It's not like he really has much room to talk when it comes to that, but... still. He's pretty sure Keigo shouldn't actually feel as bad as he does about things. ]
Dammit. I'll keep asking people.
[ But if the disappearing was intentional, that may not do much good. And if it wasn't, well, he's trying not to think too hard about that. ]
[ That just doesn't stop him worrying about the fact it's not a guarantee. At least with Keigo there's no guarantee he won't. ]
I just worry he's not being careful enough there either.
[ He may not know all the details, but he knows it involves being undercover in the midst of a lot of dangerous people. He tries not to be one to assume the worst, but that certainly seems like a mission where things could go wrong. ]
Probably not, but we can't do anything unless he comes back... or we figure out a way to take him back, I guess.
(That might be a doozy if he decided he didn't want to go. How to kidnap a super fast super intelligent birdman with wings made of flying knives... they can try and knock him out with their powers, they guess.)
[ Even if they knew how to get to other worlds. Keigo sounded so guilty about hesitating when the rifts were happening, he doubts the man would actually agree to leave his job behind just like that. ]
Let's hope nothing comes to that. I don't want to lie to my boyfriend, just don't want him getting hurt.
[...You know aside from the many lies of omission. But he's assuming Chris has no idea about those. Either way, that's not actually a hard no on that plan if it does come to it. Which probably says something.
And he's also no longer being vague about 'boyfriend.']
Maybe not. Doesn't seem the type even when he ought to.
[ ...And that way Keigo wouldn't have to blame himself for leaving his job. So maybe that would make it easier for him in some ways.
Faulkner probably still wouldn't feel great about it, though; for someone who likes to pride himself on being clever and manipulative in theory, he sure spends a lot of time hating himself for lying to people. ]
(20 hour shifts every day. Not even the worst places in the FEZ do that. Well, not for long, at least.
If Dick wants to know how much they actually know he can keep wondering. They're pretty sure he's already aware of what's going on with Hawks but they still ain't no snitch.)

Date: 2025-08-26 01:09 am (UTC)(Dammit. He better not be doing something like that. They didn't mess him up that bad, did they?
Should have asked Shadow to go with them instead. He'd have probably just told them to get the fuck over it after killing the guy.)
Don't think any birds have seen him.

I'll keep an eye out when I visit other islands. Ask the smarter wild animals if they've seen him.
