Captain, this is Lieutenant Hawkeye. Do you have a minute?
[Her voice is crisp and to the point. Clearly she's here on serious business.]

[He responds to her call almost immediately. It's a message from Riza it's likely going to be about something important!]
Yes, of course. I'm available now. What is it Lieutenant?
[They're going to keep addressing each other with their military titles aren't they? someone help them]

[They're doomed forever, rip Riza and Julius.]
One of our [comrades? allies? fellow recruits?] fellow ALASTAIR members is planning an infiltration of the royal castle. It won't be an easy task and she'll need the help of more than just a few others.
I'd appreciate it if you were willing to lend your support.
[But obviously no pressure, he has a life of his own and all that and it could be dangerous, to say the least.]

I'll do what I can. [Julius is so sick of working alone so he feels happy when he works with others. He's quick to lend his support and he seems eager to work.]
Lieutenant, I'd like to make some preparations in advance. How much time do we have left?
[Probably not a lot tbh.]

Thank you, sir.
[It's relieving to know that his thoughts point in the same direction as her own. As much as Riza trusts and respects Kida, she's always seemed more willing to act first and then perhaps think later.]
Several days. Not more than a week. Kida and I have put together a list of a few others we'd like to bring, but nothing has been set in stone yet.

[Julius eyes widen with surprise. That's plenty of time to him. He'll be able to come up with something. It's cool, Riza.]
We'll have to decide our next course of action together. I trust you and your allies, Lieutenant.
In a few hours from now I'll send you a report. I hope that won't be an issue.
[It's just going to be tldr: mission stuff. You get the idea.]

[She's used to working with people who play the long game; three days is like the blink of an eye in comparison. But good to know that there are people who can work on shorter timeframes. Bless u, Julius.]
Of course not. [Like she would ever refuse advice from him.] If there's anything you need from me, please don't hesitate to contact me.

[They have so much work to do. It'll be fine. Julius had his doubts at first but everyone seems more than willing to work with each other. He has more confidence now and he has Riza to thank for that. ]
Understood. Good luck with everything.
[He cuts off the call there, but then he makes some preparations immediately after. You'll see him again soon Riza!!!]

Julius, we've taken notice of you.
If you have an interest in bringing justice to Chantes, we welcome you to meet us in the woods on the evening of November 21st. Do not tell anyone.
The Order of the Chimera
[The letter is finished with a chimera symbol, nearly identical to the one burned into the ground that first day.]

[A knock on the door on the morning of December 25th reveals a delivery boy, a bit grimy and dirty and who shoves an envelope towards Julius. Inside are a number of smaller envelopes, each filled with a number of different seeds, all of different local plants.
There's a note included as well, written in neat penmanship: I hope these help you remember Chantes, even after we leave. —Riza]

[Riza's so considerate!! It makes him smile a little. Christmas wasn't something he celebrated, but even this gesture of kindness is nice. He'll plant those seeds and take good care of them. Thanks Lieutenant!!]
[ in the morning, julius will find a small package waiting for him just outside his quarters. inside, he'll find a white, pouch, holding an assortment of individually-wrapped cookies, both of which were clearly handmade. beneath the pouch is the familiar alastair symbol in its traditional purple.
along with the package comes a simple card that reads:
To: Julius
From: Olivia
Happy Holidays! ]

[Following a quick knock on Julius's door, there'll be a small package left at the foot of his door. Inside is a small bag filled with chocolates in a variety of flavors, along with a note.
Thank you for being a friend. I hope you enjoy these. —Riza]

I'm the Former Blood Captain, Julius Visconti. If I'm the person you wish to speak with, then you have nothing to apologize for.
Are you Captain Reika?
[Is it her????]

I'm resting in my quarters. Not to worry, take that piece of jewelry you're holding and open the tracking application.
I'll come find you instead, Reika.
[It's good to see her again... he's so overwhelmed with emotions he doesn't know what to do.]

[ So he has quarters and found it already. It seems he's already gotten himself up to speed; though she wouldn't have expected anything less from him. ]
Alright. I think I did it, let me know if it works?
[ Her magitek is a bracelet with a dark green interface. It seems she can see him as well - a few blocks down, making his way over. ]

It's perfect, I'll see you soon.
[Julius follows the signal and eventually finds her. She looks the same as ever. On the other hand, he looks completely different. His hair's much longer and his body is slimmer. In addition to that, he's taken on a number of scars as well.
It looks like he's been through a lot and it shows.]
Captain Reika? I have missed you.

[ The expression on her face is a hopeful smile when she first sees him coming down the street, but it quickly dissolves into subtle uncertainty once she gets a closer look at him. He seems gaunt, his figure cut with more angles, and his words only confirm her suspicion that he's been here a while.
Timelines can do many things, but this... ]
Hello, Julius. [ Her excitement is subsumed by concern and some degree of formality, the shield she brings up whenever in an unfamiliar situation. ] How long have you been here?

Hello, Julius. [ Her excitement is subsumed by concern and some degree of formality, the shield she brings up whenever in an unfamiliar situation. ] How long have you been here?
Just over a year. I thought that...I'd never get the chance to see you again. [He was by himself for a long, long time. Julius isn't sure if what he's seeing is real. Nevertheless, he questions it further as well.]
Are you well?
Are you well?
[ Over a year.
The implications take a few seconds to fold themselves together in her mind. He has been here for over a year, without anyone to take care of him. She knows more than anyone else how he needs support to live - he still seems to be in one piece, and she doesn't believe that the people here are heartless; but it still doesn't change the fact that his eyes look more haunted than ever.
A lot can change in a year, timelines or no. ]
I'm fine. What about you? We should go sit down somewhere so we can talk better.
[ This she says while casting a glance around. No one is looking at them, but she can't be sure. ]

Let's go back to my room. It's not far from here. [He doesn't directly answer her question just yet. Julius isn't ready for it. Still, he guides her down the halls and into his quarters - where he was before.
Once they're at his place he opens it for her. It's mostly clean with a lot of plants. Some things don't change even after time has passed.]

[ He's avoiding the question - a bad habit of his, some might say; but she's familiar enough to not press him. He'll say what he wants to say when the time comes. Plus, it's by no means something to speak about in public.
So she follows him without a word, keeping half a pace behind him as always. While they walk, she keeps her eyes out for anything of interest she might see in Oska. ]

[He doesn't speak until he shuts the door.]
To tell you the truth, I am uncertain of many things. My feelings are one of them.
[Reika's brought up a good question and it deserves to be answered. Julius has always kept his emotions locked away. Now that she asks, he's not sure what to say. At least he can be honest about his uncertainty. ]
