[Steve blinks a bunch, surprised.]

...Huh. I never thought of that. ...Are there often names of people no one else seems to have spoken to?

[armoured]

Yeah, there's at least fifteen or so names of people nobody has ever spoken a word to. It-- maybe they were here and they just didn't talk to anyone, or maybe not, but we have no way of knowing for sure.

[starsandtights]

Hmmmm.

Damn. I wish there was some way to find out. The worst part is not knowing.

[armoured]

We're working on it.

[He sighs, believe him he understands the feeling of helplessness.]

Steph and I are trying to find anyone that's spoken to the names neither of us recognise. If we can find at least one person who remembers speaking to them or seeing them around, then we can know for sure that they were here.

[starsandtights]

[Steve smiles a little.]

You and Steph seem more organized and methodical about trying to figure out what's going on here than anyone else I've spoken to. I'm impressed. You're doing good work, both of you, so... thank you. If there's ever anything I can do to help, you let me know, all right?

[armoured]

Thanks, but I guess we have to be doing that by this point. The two of us are among the people who have been here the longest, it's our duty to be trying to take the lead on these things.

[Not that he's ever against more people joining in, the more to help the better.]

[starsandtights]

Yeah, well... not sure everyone would see that as a duty or take it so seriously. So, again... thank you.

[He wishes this wasn't on the shoulders of a teenager and... however old Alphonse is, he sounds young... but they're doing a good job, so he's not going to insult them by bringing age into it. He'll just be silently disappointed at all of the adults.]

[armoured]

Mm.

[He hums warmly, pleased by the thanks but not wanting to overindulge in it.]

I hope you'll be able to help us keep things organised and as safe as possible from now on, we always need more people willing to assist.

[starsandtights]

I'll certainly do my best. Like I said, you need help with anything in particular, you just let me know, anytime.

[armoured]

Right, thanks, and you know that you can call on me too.

[And with a new ally made, he hangs up for the night.]
