You're right. I don't.

[The words came out sharper than he anticipated, a reflexive reaction to the permanency implied bu Adele's sympathies. Goemon's posessions were still around, as were Fujiko's; they might yet be back. The ever sweet Murasaki....that was different, and it was for the better that she went home anyway. A girl that kind should be a kindergarten teacher, not participating in rebellions.

Smoker and Giles...they weren't friends, but they were tolerable allies, and both were on his radar. He had no idea what happened to the Captain...but Giles was gone.

He claps a hand to his face and shakes his head, briefly questioning whether he was mad or not.]

You want something helpful from me? Get yourself a cellphone.

Apologies. [Soft and immediate, she hadn't meant to infer...anything. Too little known and too much at stake- ha. Were it not for the madness of it all Adele was all but certain she's never left Unger's Compound. Shaking that thought off she watches Lupin's back, waiting. For a dismissal, to be ignored, and it surprised her when he spoke again.]

...My own would be useless shrapnel should it appear. [But...] I will find one.

You do that. Make sure it's Bluetooth-enabled. Keep it charged. Keep it on your person. Don't jump too obviously if you ever recieve a message.

[A moment of silence, then:] Mine too. Desolee. I've been having a few rough weeks. [sigh.] Goddamn, I'm gonna need more bourbon. And time to think.

[New clients, new village, new reality, and yet here she was taking the exact same steps that saw her killed before. At least here death wouldn't be permanent, but that does not lessen her anxiety. Adele nods and slides her hands into her coat pockets. Bluetooth. Cell Phone. Don't jump. All she needs now is Bartholomew.]

You've no need to apologize. It was presumptuous of me to say anything on a matter where I know so little.

...

While I cannot join you in drinking said bourbon, I would not be adverse to helping you find it- also. I have asked this of Gambit, and he expressed confusion. Did you leave a bottle of wine in our kitchen?

[redjacketthief]

Wine? Why would I give wine away, when I could be drinking it myself?

[The questions was anticipated, the confusion was practiced and flawless--no way is he revealing that!]

...And thanks for the apologies, then. I have a few other possible drinking buddies to hit up too, since it looks like I'm not sleeping tonight.

Because you are somewhat fond of Ginia and aware of her loss? I do not know of many that could make it into the house and leave something behind without notice. To my knowledge only a thief would be able, and of those I know of two. Gambit, and you. [Still she shrugs, he seemed genuinely confused but then he was a thief, and a liar. But what a strange thing it would be to lie about. Ah well.]

I would only wish to know who it was so I might thank them. It was a kind gesture.

There is nothing I could say by way of a warning or precautionary measure you should take to ensure you are not hungover. However...you are welcome to call me in the morning when you are at the worst of it. I will do what I can.

The anonymous person probably doesn't want any thanks Adele. [He didn't do it for the thanks anyway--as he told Giles, it wasn't something he was accustomed to.

He retrieves and holsters his Walther, and starts to leave with a lazy wave.]

I'll be sure to hit you or Law up if I'm in need of a hangover remedy, thanks.

That or they did not want it known they broke into the house. [Adele watches him leave, waiting. Wondering.]

... Try not to destroy your liver before anything is done Lupin.

[redjacketthief]

I'll be fine! [LIES] Don't you worry about me--take care of yourself.

[And maybe send someone to check up on him in a day if he doesn't surface...]
