[ It feels like it's been way longer of a day than it really has been. The axe can attest to that. Still, he hasn't heard from that kid since and considering how worried the young man had sounded, well. It wouldn't hurt to check up on him. Especially when he hadn't heard anything from the others who planned to accompany him.
So, despite the headache, he shoots off a message his way. ]
Hey, kid. It's Zack. You find 'em in one piece? [ Don't mind the way his words sometimes sound a bit wandering and far apart. He's totally okay. ]
[Sora had honestly complete forgot about checking in with people. He'd been so caught up in everything that was going on and trying not to slow down his traveling companions that it had slipped his mind.
Because he's Sora.
Hearing the other's voice, especially after his own conversation with Zell, is a relief and a smile is definitely audible in his voice.]
Hi Zack! I did, yeah! It wasn't too hard. The maps I had helped a lot! [He does notice and it makes his smile falter, a tiny bit of concern creeping into his voice.] How're you doing?
[He has a headache and really doesn't want to read through the obituaries for Sora's name. He's clinging to hope that his new friend made it out okay. Shooting him a quick message, while they prepare to head towards the the post office.]
[It has, in theory, only been a few days since the last time he's seen or spoken to Sora, but considering the events of the past three, it feels as if that time's been stretched on forever. At first, he'd been worried maybe the other had been taken and was down below, but he hadn't spotted him, even in the panic. Which only provided a small bit of comfort, considering.]
[Nah, he was stuck topside all by himself! ...Which probably wasn't much better but hey, he was alive and okay and now taking care of Charlie.
Hearing the ping of a message and then Cloud's voice brightens the exhausted teen and when he answers he sounds genuinely pleased to hear from the other.]
[ It's been a while. Too long, really, since he's heard from Sora. How fast time passes without you knowing sometimes. Considering everything that's happened though, he supposes he's been... busy.
If getting into fights with vampires and friends constitutes for busy anyway. But now that things have settled a bit... all the more reason for him to check in then, isn't it. ]
Hey, Sora. It's me. How've you been? Haven't gotten into too much trouble without me, I hope.
[There's both surprise and delight in Sora's voice when he gets the message and he pauses in his wandering with Davesprite so he can properly respond.]
Me? Get into trouble? Never!
[He can't help but laugh a bit, glancing up at Davesprite and motioning for him to continue.]
Did Kunsel and Zell get back to you and Jim? Zell seemed pretty worried when I saw them at the aquarium.
[Perhaps he should have messaged him the day before, but Davesprite figured it would have been obvious things didn't go well with Jade just from when she got back without him. And then came Brian's message that night, and the decision that not checking on Sora or Jade immediately might be a little safer. But it's the next morning, and perhaps now the coast is clear enough to ask.]
[When Davesprite didn't come back, Sora had assumed things hadn't gone quite to plan and part of him had wanted to go after the other. Given the conversation he'd had with Brian, though? It was probably..best just to let everything cool down. So he'd stayed with the duo, enjoying having company for a few more days.
Davesprite's message was definitely a welcome one, though.]
Hey!! Yeah, I'm fine. Are you okay? :( I was worried about you when you didn't come back but I wasn't sure if you wanted to talk or not so I didn't message. I'm sorry. :(
Hey kid... I heard the messages you sent Sheena. I found her, she's fine. If you were already heading to the Fire Station turn around and avoid it, there is a monster trapped in one of the rooms.
[He takes a long pause. Should he...]
I'm sorry I don't call you as often as I should, I will contact you regularly from now on- at least to keep myself updated on your conditions.
Me and Sheena will probably hit the road soon enough, I can guide her, is there anything you need?
Leon! [Oh man was it good to hear his voice!] Good. That's good! I'm glad you guys are together again. And I know, Kunsel told me about the monster. I'm not worried about it.
[Aka he's probably going to end up doing something stupid one of these days.]
It's alright. I'm just glad to hear your voice! I could have just as easily contacted you too--I just got so busy moving supplies around that I didn't really think about it.
[Why yes that is a sheepish tone.]
No, I'm alright. Is there anything you guys need though?
[Multiple people are getting this same message from Alfie this evening - and Sora happens to be one of the chosen few.]
There's a man who goes by Undertaker - that's exequies on the network, E-X-E-Q-U-I-E-S. He's gotten his hands on one of my prescriptions, and is holding it for ransom, and I would like to get it back. If you spot him or hear of his location, give me a ring.
And we'll keep this between us, of course. Tight lips.
[ Text usually isn't his style- ever. But it's all he can get himself to do that night, so it'll have to suffice for now. At least that had been the intent until he started to back out.
And hit the send button instead of the back button anyway.
[Last night hadn't been fun. It had been terrifying and Sora honestly wanted to believe it had all just been a bad dream but he knew it wasn't. He didn't like being scared of his friends but it was hard to shake the fear, especially of--
Sora looks down at his device as it chimes and honestly? He almost just deletes it. Not out of spite but out of underlying fear. He refrains, though, and instead just pauses in his walking to shoot a quick message back.]
