004 ◉ audio; dated to the 14th

[imaginate]

[ The audio clicks on and there's a long pause. When Kyle speaks, his tone is calm, perfectly controlled. It's his Business Voice, blank save for the barest hint of anger. ]

This is Kyle Rayner of the Green Lantern Corps. I apologise for the inconvenience, but our clinic at EA-3B is currently undergoing repairs and won't be able to take more patients at this time. We'll be temporarily operating a backup at WA-1A. [ He attaches a map, showing where it is. ]

Any and all hands with medical experience or healing abilities are always welcome.

[ Another long pause. ]

And if someone could come collect Avatar Korra, that would be appreciated.

[ There is a brief pause, as though he's debating what more to say, before the audio clicks off. ]

Comments

[He doesn't need to. Kyle hears it, and his expression saddens, even over an audio feed.]

And how.

[How many times has he had to run from a loved one's side to save someone on the other side of the galaxy? Why did it have to be him who gave up so much and got nothing back? For what? A new set of laws that he didn't agree with, to see the Corps he'd built with his blood, sweat, and tears ripped apart because their little blue bosses were too proud to admit they were scared? How many was he going to bury?]

[Enough, he tells himself quietly. Let it go (And it does, it floats down the river, disappearing into the rapids).]

Found anywhere that has... ale that tastes like home? I'll buy.

[Septimus knows that cadence, limited to two words as it was, and he grimaces to himself.

Still, he laughs wryly.]

If you've never drunk the ale most often found around a Legion camp, I would not dare subject you to it. [As for the finer drinks, the benefit of his rank... well, that's less important.]

Besides, Mother would never forgive me if I forgot all my manners. If you're buying, by all means, I will place my faith in your choice.

[imaginate]

That sounds like a challenge.

[His voice turns playful again, and he chuckles.]

You pick the time, I'll pick the place.
