[ Cehd'ra hadn't been able to make good on his promise while on the mountain which didn't really surprise him. It was a mountain populated by dragons. What use would they have for delicate jewelry? But the miqo'te hadn't let himself forget once they all returned to Lunatia, going out and finding a silver chain of suitable length and quality, and actually spent his own Chroma for it. Now all he had to do was get it to the au ra.
He got the man's name but not much more, but it's enough to send a message: ]
hello do you remember me from the plane? my dragon stole your ring. I have something for you can we meet?
[In truth, Takame had not expected Cehd'ra to remember. He'd almost forgotten himself. It was why when he saw the man's name and message appear he was somewhat surprised, but he would not ignore it.
... unfortunately he wasn't used to how messaging worked yet which is why his response is delayed.]
y
[Oh hells. G-give him a minute. After another delay:]
[ It took Cehd'ra a while to figure out how 'typing' works and even now he's still embarrassingly slow. Takame gets no judgement beyond an empathetic smile at that initial one letter reply. He waits patiently for the rest and then: ]
you know where the groves are on level 2 lets meet there at the entrance
[Remember he did, now it was just a matter of communicating that he got the message in a way where this damned typing didn't correct a poorly typed "Understood" to "Underfoot."
after a while he just settled on short and simple.]
ok
[Making his way to the groves took less effort than figuring out how to type having opted to learn the lay of the land quickly. Once he arrived as he was asked, he gave the area a quick scan to see if he could spot Cehd'ra.]
[ Cehd'ra was already very close to the Groves when he decided to choose it for a meeting spot so he'll be there before the au ra...though he is very short. Thankfully Cehd'ra has no shame about getting to a higher vantage point, climbing up to balance on the back of a hovering bench, long tail hovering out behind him to keep his balance.
Upon spotting the man Cehd'ra cups a hand around his mouth, waving with the other. ]
[For as good as Takame's eyes were, it took the call out for him to finally be able to spot the Miqo'te. That made things much simpler and faster. He approached the bench Cehd'ra was perched on, stopping before it to greet him with his standard bow.]
Cehd'ra, correct? I hope I've not kept you waiting long.
I have noticed (✿´‿`) and you have my thanks. yet tis still an obstacle i must overcome when speaking in person
i see but if i may ask if there is a kind emote tied to such a request is there not a chance someone may misunderstand the true intent behind it ( ⚆ _ ⚆ )?
[Kami knows he can barely read social intent in person let alone where he can't judge body language.]
[This message appears during the dead of night halfway past midnight. It's a rather unusual time to receive a text but it's the perfect time for the mind to wander. This is why Yoshimitsu is texting him now.
[Closer to sleep than Takame tends to get at any rate. Still, he can't help but be somewhat confused. If nothing has happened, why the text?
Not that he dislikes talking to the man. Quite the opposite, for all his eccentricities Takame is very comfortable with him. Enough that he's not forcing emojis out.]
I am well. It would seem Lunatia is beginning to reach a state of calm once more. I apologize, I've not meant to avoid contact with you.
Something that may affect our current arrangement, certainly.
I've found myself... well, a partner. We're new and tentative-- but certainly something. But as a Miqo'te I did give say that I would be meeting with others, spending time in their beds, perhaps having with them the same intimacy I have with this partner of mine... Miqo'te, you know? That's how we are, aren't we? [He sighs, temporarily making the line crackle with static.]
They're fine with this inclination of mine.
If you're not comfortable dallying with a person attached to someone else however, that's fine by me. Such is why I called.
... I take no issue with you having a partner alongside our agreement. I am well familiar with the ways of Miqo'te. In fact... I'd intended to contact you in regards to something similar. [Another pause. He can hardly believe he can even say this.]
Backdated! After the dragon event;

Forgive the hour but are you present?

So late to text, though. He would have assumed Yoshimitsu asleep, but his reply is prompt.]
I am. Has something happened?
no subject
No, nothing of great importance.
[He's a little relieved to see a response but still on pins and needles regardless.]
How are you, Takame? Is all well? We have not spoken for some days now.

How have you been of late?
no subject
[He finally answers after a long pause.]
Lunatia's latest act of tyranny and villainy left me quite...busy.
no subject
I imagined as much. I consider myself rather fortunate that I evaded capture as I loaned what assistance I could during this incident.
... Were you hurt?
