No, it's fine, honestly.
I tend to keep strange hours anyway. Holdover from before, I suppose.
But you're welcome, I did enjoy it, for the record.

Previous occupation. I generally was up most of the night regardless.
Not my style, really. Plus I'm sure you would've been okay with the change of pace.

big fan of things we do in the dark back then huh?
true, not going to give anyone a hard time for being polite and not pushy
is that a play tho
one of those
leave them wanting more
because i'm half tempted to say if there's a next time you should take advantage but that could be exactly according to your plan
in which case i'm stubborn and refuse to play into your sneaky games

Something along those lines.
And I never intend it to be a play, but if I say so myself, most do end up coming back. I just leave the choice to you.

To be fair, it does come with very mixed results most of the time. And I can at least say I've had a lot of time and experience.
I would've come back, but I'm afraid something came up after we last spoke. A pity, really. I did enjoy your company.

Sorry, old habits.
In that case, though: I would like to meet up with you again at one point, even if it's just over coffee or a couple drinks.

Sure, I can think of at least a couple places that would work. I'll try and keep you posted?
[there is a message coming in with the recipients being jaehyuk and an unknown number]
You have to let people go. Everyone who's in your life are meant to be in your journey, but not all of them are meant to stay till the end.
[if the vampire hybrid tries to respond, he'll find that none of his texts get delivered. resending them will only give him the same results. if he calls, an automated voice tells him that the phone is off]

[ While Jae knew Haruto to sometimes get philosophical, this ... seemed a little out of character. ]
While that sometimes is true and there are moments when you should let someone go for their own good, there are also moments when one should try and keep them close.
[ ... not delivered. ]
Is there something going on that sparked this?
[ Nothing. ]
Haruto, please stop messing around.
[ Still nothing. Even resending it doesn't do anything. He tries to call, but even then - nothing. It's hard for someone like him to feel fear, and yet he can feel the ice seeping into his veins. ]
Haruto, please. If there's something going on, you need to talk to me. Contact me as soon as you can.
[ Even if it's unlikely he'll get an answer. The fear is slowly being overtaken by anger - anger at the situation, at the frustration that he's feeling over not noticing earlier if something was awry.
He needed to get away.
He needed to find the reaper. ]

[another text comes in. like before, jaehyuk and someone else are the only recipents]
The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die anytime.

[ This one doesn't get answered right away if only because Jae's busy teleporting around the world and trying to get some sort of answer from anyone who may have seen Haruto lately - whether through work or otherwise.
But when he does - ]
You and I have talked at length about life and death, yes. And that you cannot be fearful of either if you want to live life to the fullest, without regret. That's why I wasn't afraid of dying when I proposed what I did. You know this.
Where are you. This relative radio silence is worrying, my friend.

[one last text comes in. it's not cryptic this time. good news]
Thank you for everything, friend.
[okay. that wasn't any better. not so good news]

[ ... nOPE THAT'S GETTING A PHONE CALL RIGHT THE HELL NOW ]
[and what's this? it goes through]
Hello, Amaterasu speaking~
Hello, Amaterasu speaking~
Where is he.
[ If there is any way he can send more venom through the phone right now, hoo boy would be he doing it. It's actually kind of impressive how well he's holding himself back at this point, though it's also fairly obvious there's a very thin veneer of control keeping him from actually indulging in his baser wants as a demon ]

[the sound of someone screaming in pain can be heard in the background. amaterasu shakes her head, sighing in disappointment as she watches her wolves shout to one another to hold haruto down, to make sure the chains around him are tight enough]
This sure was a failure.
This sure was a failure.
[ the scream has him freeze in place, eyes wide while the irises turn a bright red, lips curling back in a snarl and fangs protruding out. he needed to stay calm, he had to stay calm -
one of his closest friends was being tortured by a goddess and her cronies and he had no idea where to find them, fuck that.
when he speaks again, his voice is pitched deeper, almost warped in its tone - ]
What have you done.
