_{[Balfour's about halfway to the new district when it hits him that he probably should put up a post, at least to let Reid and Amery know where he was going, considering he'd pretty much snuck out of the house.

The feed flickers on to show Balfour stopped on the corner of one of the streets in Orlea, listening carefully before just backing away to lean against a building.]}

Hi, everyone! I know you guys haven't heard from me in a while, so I'm checking in to let you know I'm fine. Reid sort of brought up the fact that I seemed to have been avoiding people. I just hadn't been feeling well, and was avoiding pretty much anyone who wasn't my brother. Anyway, I'm still kicking and all, so no worries!

Anyway, I'm sure everyone has heard about that district that just showed back up, right? Well, I'm headed that way to check it out; surely it can't be all as bad as they say it is!

_{[He keeps saying this, keeps trying to convince himself of that. It surely couldn't be a living hell! Only, it was very possible that it was, and though he didn't want to believe the people who had gone in before him, he couldn't help but worry.]}

Does anyone want to join me?

_{[Because he's not going to be able to see a damn thing, fog or no fog, and there was no way of telling whether it was dangerous or not, at least not in the way he was used to.]}

_{[See? Hah! Balfour wishes he could see him. He is actually startled when Mituna suddenly speaks, backpedaling a little bit.]}

Oh, h-hi. I apologize. I know I didn't give very good directions.

_{[He stares off a bit to Mituna's left.]}

[Mituna stands up again. He stares in confusinon, or that might be his usual expression, at Balfour. He turns around, several times, until he's facing the direction Balfour was looking in.]

The hell are you looking at?

Pardon?

_{[Oh, shit! He wasn't looking at Mituna! He turns just a bit to his right and looks at him instead.]}

Sorry, I seem to have spaced.

_{[Only, that's a lie: he can't even see what he's looking at. He's still trying to hide the fact that he's blind, too.]}

Oh... uh... sorry.

[Yup, totally clueless about that. Mituna wouldn't really care if he knew anyways.]

So, where the awesome missing place?

We're probably about half way there, by now, if my measurements are correct. I purposefully chose to wait at about a midpoint, at least from my brother's apartment.

Oh.

[There's a moment of silence. He scuffs his boot against the ground.]

So... should we go?

Ah, well, I suppose so. I'm not sure if anyone else is meeting me here, or not, so I want ot make sure.

_{[He offers a little smile as he reaches behind him to subtly feel the corner of the building.

Ah. That way.]}
