[Chapter 02 - SKIT] One Step Closer

[fatedirony.livejournal.com]

Who: Atwight, Judas
Where: An inn they stopped at in Daath Bay.
When: Night, after their arrival in Daath, after dropping off Rutee and any other stragglers.
Warnings: Dear Judas is MASKLESS. Atwight already saw him without it on, anyway.

	... Judas, may I ask you a question?
	... I see no reason to refuse. What is it?
	Do you have any relatives? I'm sure they must be very worried about you when you leave home.
	...... I have no need for family.
	Really? I'm not sure what I would do without having family to care about. Rutee keeps my hands full, but I love her for it. ... You know, if I knew where my nephew was, he'd be your age.
	What...was his name...?
	Hmm... if my memory allows me to remember... I think Chris, his mother, said it was Emilio.
	Hnn... I see......
	Yes. I lost contact with him and his father after his mother died. I feel rather guilty.
	... Are you trying to find him...?
	Every chance I get. I don't have much time to spend on things that don't relate to the orphanage, but I do what I can. Do you think he'd forgive me if I apologized for being away too long?
	... I think he just might......
	Haha, really? Hmm... thank you for thinking so. I only hope I can make it up to him. I'm sure he's been rather lonely.
	....... you'll...find him soon......then he wont be...
	[smiles] Yes, you're right. I do hope to find him soon. I'd hate for him to be alone any longer.
