"It was... I don't remember. It was a job, or work, I can't remember what. I haven't heard from him ever since, and today's encounter is the only time I've received any kind of news from him."

"He is my fiancé. We had planned on getting married in the fall, but... Yeah."

*Katherine wipes her eyes under her visor, her fingertips coming out wet.*

"I've wanted to save removing my vampirism with him. Celebrate it together. But it seems like I'll have to do it alone."

"It is interesting what the Roderick person knows." *Sirdan held his hands together, in thought about what he says.*

"I think he know something. But he is dead, and seems quite intent on just teasing you." 

*Sirdan shook his head.*

"Remove your vampirism now, Katherine. It makes no sense to wait - if you hate it so much, so it now."
Ernest
"Yeah. I can't wait anymore."

"What I really want to know is... What do I do? I just feel so alone without him."

*Katherine removes her ring, placing it in her palm and looking at it. The gold was engraved with almost glowing runes, but it looks like it's been faded.*

*All three of the New Sunlight members keep hearing screaming and whipping. It seems like Hu Lang's been going at this for a while now. Almost too long.*
Leopoldo
*Sirdan leaned forward, looking at the glowing runes.* 

"You've... Answered that question, have you not?" *He paused a bit, looking at Katherine.* 

"It is too much for you to bear already - he's gone, and you don't see any hope in it. If you do not mind a bit of truism.." *Sirdan paused again, staring at Katherine's eyes, as if to tell her he will say something big next.*

"He's either dead or alive, right?" *And thus spoke the wise elf.* 

"Say it is the first, I am sure someone who truly love you would not mind if you seeked other company. You have a long life ahead. I don't know how old you are, but you look like you are in your twenties. If you are lucky, you will have at least two more centuries. Will it really be bearable for him- No, for yourself, to commit yourself to a century of loneliness and endless regret?" 

"And if he is alive. Surely you would've known if something disastrous happened to him, but nothing happened, and he chose to not come back. Whatever path he chose, it was not as important as giving you an answer or his whereabouts." 

*And of course, the third option. That he was captured and somehow unable to contact Katherine. Sirdan looked deeply into Katherine's eyes, struggling on whether to be honest. If he does not tell her about the third - then surely Katherine can move on, but what if she thought of it later on and regretted it?* 

"...But there's a third option. He could've been captured somewhere, unable to contact you or break out, in which case he may still earnestly want to reciprocate his obligations." 

*He waited for her thoughts, not wanting to overwhelm her.*

_It was starting to grate on Almann's nerves at this point. His finger tapping is becoming more rapid at this point, a sign of his annoyance. He didn't come here to hear the screams of a thief, he came here to relax, even if he moved away he could still hear it. It's starting to become an inconvenience. Almann puts out his pipe, and taps it back into his pocket._

_He rolls his eyes and decides to stand up, making his way casually towards the door and knocks._

_Almann will just mention that the screams are louder than Hu Lang may realise and the sound is starting to inconvenience some of the customers in the restaurant. A pretty good excuse to be sure, just making it seem like Almann was concerned for the reputation of her business rather than trying to be self-righteous about Auburn's punishment._
