why are you asking me that? i'm not the one who didn't answer you.
[ Meaning he should concern himself with the possibility that something happened to Daphne, and that's not something he's going to like thinking about. ]
[ he refuses. there are unplumbed depths to you, larus. he will unlock the fun, even if it kills him ]
you said it would take you a while Wasn't sure if you were stuck in a sticky situation.
I'm closer, but I don't have a key. I can go knock If you want.
[ don't worry, Ace has the capacity to worry about a myriad of people at once; a skill honed regularly with the drew crew. not to mention daphne would be cross with him if larus ended up hurt and ace would very much like to avoid that ]
anyway, i'll be there as soon as i can. try not to worry about it too much.
[ it's not like larus is all that respectful of anything, but it does concern him that daphne hasn't responded or shown up to an appointment. so, without much fuss, larus returns to his apartment as quickly as he can. ]

[ diplomatic. That’s him. ]
Right. I’ll head over.
See what I can find.
Wait for you. Whichever happens first.
