⌈ FIRST NIGHT ⌋ ♘ ⌊ VIDEO ⌉

[leashed_hunter]

[His arrival a few days ago had been less than unsightly considering one minute he was holding a bloody and injured Kaito and the next he was transported to a place like this. He'd searched for hours for his injured teammate and it wasn't until dawn had arrived that he slowly came to terms with his new circumstances. He sensed them - Purebloods. It wasn't until he got a better grasp of this place that Zero decided to use the small communication device.

The recording turned on showing a stiff looking hunter whose lips thinned into a grim line.]

The rules of the Association still apply.

[And with that simple sentence, the Hunter cemented his stance.]

[Video, Private] Oh dear god. XD

[leashed_hunter]

[A quick look.]

What do you know about it?

[A demand. The more she spoke the more confused he became. Why was she calling him that? Kuran had already confirmed she was his daughter so why was she calling him by that familiar name??]

[Video, Private] He may have hit a sore spot for Zel XD

[redsnowangel]

What do I know about what? The fact you're looking like an ass?

[He shrugged, giving a bored look down the phone.]

[Video, Private] Zero does that with a lot of people >_>

[leashed_hunter]

[By now, he's gone and deciphered the little girl's address towards him - albeit the wrong interpretation. So, he's not so tempered to get answers in regards to Kimiko.]

Don't waste my time.

[Video, Private] Oh dear...

[redsnowangel]

Sure, but, see... I'm a soft guy at heart. I don't exactly like seeing a little girl upset.

Though I'm guessing we probably just got off on the wrong foot. Of course you're going look out for her, right?

[His tone was fairly casual, but that may have been hiding a threat.]

[Video, Private] Hahaha yes.

[leashed_hunter]

[Zero was used to these kinds of passive aggressive threats, so it barely made phased him. Normally, he'd hardly respond to it but considering the source of it was a little girl he didn't simply hang up.]

I'm her bodyguard.

[More than enough to answer the question, and a bit more.]

[Video, Private]

[redsnowangel]

'Bodyguard', hm? Interesting way of putting it.

[What exactly was going on with that family? It all struck him as a bit of a strange case, even outside of timeline shenanigans.]

[Video, Private]

[leashed_hunter]

There's nothing to put. It is what it is.
