[Zach, using his tablet stand, has managed to balance his tablet on his raised knees, looking at it with a grin on his face. He's still got a blanket thrown over his chest, and leaning against his shoulder is Steph, deeply absorbed in whatever she's reading on her own tablet. He waves at the camera.]

Hey Kes, checking in as promised. I'm good - I'm very good. Met up with Steph, now, as you can see. It's ridiculously cold today, don't know why, but it definitely got worse. How are the tunnels? Discovered anything cool today?

[He refrains from saying something silly like, I miss you or something. Just no.]

We're not getting lost, Kes, don't worry. [He smiles.] But we need to keep going outside, we need to go and get food for you. It's been tough going - taking a while to get to the school.

[Sure, he's lost some time on the day he met up with Steph, but - it's not like they would be a lot closer to the school if they'd been walking that whole afternoon.]

Oh, we ended up sharing a house with Captain America last night! Are things okay, with - everyone you're with? Are they helping you out?

You - you what? [Zach's voice goes cold. Oh, of fucking course fucking Duster couldn't keep his eyes on two little girls for three days. Anger rises in Zach, a wave that threatens to overwhelm him. Fucking -

He growls, rolling his eyes to the ceiling.]


But you're back with them now? Duster and Tifa? [Not that Zach isn't entirely sure it wouldn't be safer for her to be alone at this point.]

Don't worry about me. Worry about yourself, kay? I really don't think you're all that safe, and I want you to stay safe. Whatever happens over there, you come first, alright? Promise me this. You leave them behind if you need to.

[He doesn't even feel bad saying it. Well, he does, a little, about Emily, because she's just as innocent as Kes. But that's it.]

majorlazer: (really not quite into it)
From: [personal profile] majorlazer
[He takes a deep breath, rolling his free shoulder and feeling the joint shift. Man, he needs a workout badly, he's all stiff from the cold, and it's not doing anybody any good.

He forces himself to breathe, and calm down. What can he do, anyway? He's not going to barge in on Duster's inbox and yell at him. It really won't accomplish anything, considering the dude. But Zach promises himself that he won't forget that one.]


Okay. Okay - you're fine, you're sure? Your arm's getting better?

[Best to change the conversation, otherwise he's never going to get over it. Letting two kids just run off, what the hell, even Zach's not that irresponsible (anymore. Maybe.).]

Oh, in other news, I heard you went ahead and...vetted Steph. [He raises an eyebrow at Kes through the camera. Really, child.]

[Maybe he can punch a wall or two, once this conversation is over. Let go of some pent-up anger.]

Did you get to see Doctor Watson? I know he's with Alfie, but I'm not sure you all got to meet.

[Biting the inside of his bottom lip, Zach leans a little closer to his tablet.] How are you doing for food?

[The outraged look on her face makes him laugh, and he turns away from the camera and his tablet just long enough to drop a tiny, quick kiss to the top of Steph's head.] Don't worry, she just gave me broad strokes. Did you think she wouldn't tell me you two talked?

[Omissions and little white lies are not what good relationships are based on, Kesara. He puts his hand to his mouth, grinning, and then mock whispers:] So, what d'you think? She good enough?

[He knows that the answer is that she's too good for him, but. He kinda wants to know what Kes thinks.]

majorlazer: (happy grin)
From: [personal profile] majorlazer
It was women's business about me, Kes. [He raises an eyebrow, giving her a smile. Even though he is sort of withering inside a little, the guilt of leaving her slamming into his chest now, now that he knows, only a couple of days after he's gone, she got lost - he can't help but think, he should never have left. He shouldn't -

He steals a glance to Steph again, the knot in his stomach loosening. He hates having had to pick one of them over the other.]


Maybe after that what? You want to meet up outside, go back in together? [He feels like he knows Kesara well enough at this point that he gets where she's going with this. Also, he wants to meet back up with her. Seems he can't trust anyone else to make sure she stays safe.] Because I'd like that. As long as you're happy with Steph tagging along, of course.

[He's not choosing anymore.

The face she makes makes Zach laugh, nodding.]


Oh believe me, I know, kiddo. She even has a cape.

majorlazer: (happy grin)
From: [personal profile] majorlazer
I'm sure she'll give you all sorts of stories. And I promise I'm not fighting a...lion...for anything.

[It's just - good, for him, that they seem to get along. He wouldn't want it any other way; Kesara can be extremely vindictive, Zach would know, and he really doesn't want to be some sort of mediator between them.

So. That's good.]


A cape is super important. You're only half a vigilante if you don't have a cape. Vigilantes don't joke around with the cape. And hers is a good one.

[His heart swells at her little exclamation, and his face feels flushed with warmth. Her little grin is so cute, if mischievous. He's just glad she's doing okay, through it all.]

I miss you too. [And, man, he does.] We're pretty far - going further still, traveling is slow going. We've not got to the school yet. If you go north of it, we can probably meet after we've gone through to collect food, and then go back to the pass together.

From: [personal profile] majorlazer
Hmm, yeah, doesn't seem like there'd be a lot of lions around here, hmm? I don't know about the mask, she doesn't wear it around me, if she has one. [Zach manages not to choke on his own tongue at the mention of marriage - again.] You gotta let go of that wedding thing, kiddo, that's - not happening any time soon.

[If ever. They're so fucking young. With a smile, he brings his fingers to his tablet as well, pressing them against hers.]

Yeah, that's fine. [He doesn't really want to meet up with the others anyway. Just her.] We'll go north from the school, and we'll coordinate to meet up. You keep safe until then, okay?

Why would we need a chaperone for? [Too late, kiddo. Way too late.]

majorlazer: (no but what)
From: [personal profile] majorlazer
So you think I'm worthy, huh? [The thought makes him smile - Kesara might be all tough and clever and often have better ideas than him, but there's so much of her that's still a kid, too. And she likes him, for some reason, think him better than he really is. It's...heartwarming, in a way.

And then, it's just awkward. Zach scratches his throat, trying his best not to laugh and not doing the best job at it.]


The world we live in, Kes - Steph and I, I mean, it's very different from yours. It's a lot less...there are less rules, about this. We're both adults - [consenting adults, but Zach isn't sure he wants to get into that -] and we're - I mean. Basically, we don't really have all of these thoughts on virtue and good standing and all this stuff. And - and the two of us being together, it doesn't take anything from Steph. It doesn't make her...I don't know what you'd call it, really, but it doesn't.

[Why is this his life, why, why.]

From: [personal profile] majorlazer
[Zach just. He can't take it anymore, he has to laugh and groan at the same time, hiding his face in his hands as he flushes and laughs and laughs - not in a mocking way, just as the only way he knows how to release his own awkward tension. Oh man oh god.

It takes him a while, but he sobers up, looking back at the camera with tears of laughter in his eyes.]


Okay, okay, sorry, it's just - okay. Nothing is spoiling her anything, okay, nobody's in the family way as you so delicately put it, so you don't have to worry about any of it, all right?

[Seriously, small child, stop talking about sex and marriage and pregnancies. Just. Don't. Kiddo. Come on. Don't do it.]

You just. Worry about your pass and all that, alright? I promise you, we're good, here. No spoiling of prospects.

majorlazer: (heartseyes)
From: [personal profile] majorlazer
[Holding a hand up to his mouth, Zach hides his grin behind it, trying his best not to embarrass Kesara. It still takes him a bit of time to get himself under control enough to reply.]

Let me swear to you, Kesara, that nobody is getting pregnant. That ghost baby can keep its stuff, okay? I swear.
