You have reached Dominic Sorel's voicemail. I'm not available at the moment, so if you have something to say, leave a message.

IC | sob sorry Jan dear /throws more threads at you

[It's a bit of a reversal, Break calling Dominic--but this is something that must be done, and after having debated it for some time...]

Might I have a moment of your time, Mister Dominic?

IC | fffffffff it's fine <3

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

... Break? What is it?

IC | <3333 ;;

[A slight pause. ...he really actually doesn't want to do this, but he has no other options at this point; with the absence of Gilbert, this became necessary.]

...I have a request to make of you.

IC

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

[... Huh. Unusual.]

A request?

IC

[charientisms.livejournal.com]

[...he simply has run out of people to request this of. And...above his pride he must put this.

Perhaps, at some point, his values shifted. For now...a certain modicum of trust, and a certain value he must put first.]

It is a very simple request, if rather...necessary. You are, of course, familiar with Somarium's unpredictable and thus rather untrustworthy nature.

[It is rather rhetorical, but he pauses all the same.]

IC

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

Yeah...

[A pause. It's just a guess, but—]

... Would this request have anything to do with Miss Sharon?

IC

[charientisms.livejournal.com]

[If only this were easier in any way, shape, or form.]

Indeed, Mister Dominic. Well done. My request is simple, and doubtless unsurprising. Were I unable to look after my Lady Sharon for any period of time, I do hope you will keep an eye on her for me.

IC

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

All right, but...

[He looks grim.]

Are you sure you want to leave that task with someone like me?

[Break of all people should know that he doesn't have the best track record of protecting people, after all.]

IC

[charientisms.livejournal.com]

[He knows. He knows, but he's out of options and he wouldn't even be having this conversation with Dominic if he could have in any way avoided it--]

This is Mister Dominic, is it not?

[...And a bit of a chuckle, wryness well-hidden.]

It is not a difficult task. With the Sewer Rat absent, it is...merely a matter of keeping an eye on her should anything dangerous occur in this world.

IC

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

[He just lets out a sigh.]

All right. I'd do it even if you didn't ask, but...

[He's not making any promises, for he's tired of breaking them.]

IC

[charientisms.livejournal.com]

[He gets a sense of the unsaid, and from a man of Mister Dominic's character, it fails to surprise. His answer comes easily, quickly.]

There is no need for any misguided promises, much as there is no need to extend such trust in a cause such as this.

In a relationship in which we are to simply use each other, it would make little sense not to do so.

[A thoughtful look, but his tone is unshifting. BLAH BLAH DO NOT CARE DO NOT TRUST YOU]

IC

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

[He just smiles lightly.]

And I'm fairly certain that I've said this before, but I've no intention of 'using' anyone, Break.

[IT'S OKAY HE DOESN'T EXPECT MOST PEOPLE TO]

IC

[charientisms.livejournal.com]

And that, Mister Dominic, is what drew Mister Vincent to you in the first place.
