[The sound of someone sucking a deep breath starts the video off, like what they have to say is really difficult to do. When she does speak her voice is steady enough although anyone that knows Kenzi or listens closely enough will notice she's been crying and/or drinking.]

So, uh, Gil's gone. Gilbert Nightray. At least I guess he is. It's been a few days since I've talked to him and he hasn't answered messages and...yeah. I'm not really sure who all he's friends with or I would have just told you all in private so, that's me doing this. Letting everyone know he's gone.

[A pause.] He...might be back. Y'never know with the 'porter. But, still, he's gone right now.

[Another pause, this time the sound of glass against glass can be heard.] And I guess happy Father's Day to all the dads stuck here. Sorry you're here instead of home.

[shutterbugged]

Thanks for letting us know. Are you doing all right?

[heartstings]

No prob. And...yeah, I'm fine. Just keeping busy now.

[shutterbugged]

I know the feeling. I think we've had a few rounds of this conversation before, come to think.

[heartstings]

Probably. I've had a lot of friends go.

[shutterbugged]

It's a rite of passage.

Well, the offer's open, if and when you need it.

[heartstings]

It's a rite I've gone through several times now.

Well, you're always welcome to stop by the Red Branch in Maurtia Falls. [Hey look, handy instructions on how to get there included.]

[shutterbugged]

Oh, that's right, you moved. Gotten all settled in then?

[heartstings]

Yeah...until Gil vanished.

[shutterbugged]

Me and my big mouth.

[heartstings]

It's...fine. Just, y'know, the apartment was for the both of us and now it's just kinda big and empty.

[shutterbugged]

I know it won't be the same, but I'm sure someone here'll jump at the opportunity to get out of official housing. Or you could try something like AirBnB, if it exists here.

[heartstings]

Yeah, I guess that's something to look into if he doesn't turn back up in a couple weeks.

[shutterbugged]

Let me know if you do and I can refer people your way.

[heartstings]

Yeah, okay. [She sighs, she doesn't like the idea all that much but if it comes down to it...]

[shutterbugged]

And now I... apparently need to get going, sorry for the bad timing. [By this he means patrol, but he's on the wrong comm to admit to that even though she can probably guess.] Check in with you later?
