[ Vol'jin had woken up with aches and pains all over, his mouth full of what he could only assume was the flavor of whatever poor unfortunate thing had crawled into his mouth and died there. He felt like ass. His shoulder hurt more than it had in months, and he was exhausted. So much for having a restful night.

...Or however long it had really been.

So, excuse his disheveled appearance, lace of face paint and disarrayed hair. He's still a bit out of it. Rubbing at the inside corner of one eye with his thumb, he speaks before picking up the steaming mug of whatever that is nearby. It had partially obscured a plate full of very picked clean bones, a few bread crumbs and a couple slices of as-of-yet-uneaten cheese. He sniffed loudly. ]

What'd I miss?

[ --And takes a drink. Forgive his brevity, Caer Scima; he's been through a great deal in the last week. It's wearing on him.

Please tell him he didn't miss the feast, though; he still feels like he could eat the entire banquet by himself. ]

[ Private to the Outsider ]

I got a note from the Fox. He took Alice, did ya know? When'd that happen?

[ Well, it's far too late to do anything about it NOW, but he doesn't know when this came or how long he's been gone. But there's none of the threatened body parts sitting around his room, so he's sitting here with a threat and literally not a single clue what to do with it. ]

[ The Outsider's gaze goes right past Vol'jin, though perhaps it's hard to tell -- his eyes are still the same black they always were. ]

Several days ago. He has taken many other things as well, including my sight.

[No, he can't really tell.]

There be a plan to get her back yet?

[extramural]

There are- thoughts. It is being worked on, though I do not know that any plan other than his ransom will truly work. And even that may not.

[ziggyzoggy]

From what I hear of him, the last thing ya wanna give him is anything he want.

[I mean, y'know. Let's be, let's be frank here.]

Whatever it be, when ya figure it out, I want in on it.

[On second thought... Give him a moment to privatize this, since Outsider can't--or, he'd have to leave it to his fish.]

What are the thoughts, as of now?

Only my own, for now. We were able to track her, but they are gone and now do not seem to be staying in one place for any length of time.

There is to be a meeting. I will update you afterward, though I expect there will be little consensus.

[There's a displeased noise through the feed, as his mouth twists to one side. Damn.]

Well. That be better than nothin'. I appreciate you offerin' to keep me informed.

[ He nods. ]

She will be returned to us. I will make sure of it myself, if I must.

Mon, if anybody can, it be you. [What with the whole godhead and everything.]

I may require your assistance, later. Her captor is truly grating on my nerves.

[ziggyzoggy]

I'd give it, readily. He ain't done nothing to endear himself to me, an' it's looking like it be more trouble to let him live.

[Nobody messes with the Unseelie Pocket Berserker and gets away with it. Or miss Grell or you or anyone, really.]

[extramural]

Much more, [ he agrees. A pity the Fox is so very into abusing his power, otherwise he might like him. ]

I will see what this meeting brings. Until then, Vol'jin.

[ziggyzoggy]

[RIGHT?!?!?? That kind of irreverence for the law of land and Court is totally up his alley. Too bad about the cray. They might have been able to get along.

With a grunt, Vol'jin nods and raises his hand in farewell.] Til then.
