Deckerd's missing. He's not answering the Link or the badge.

So I'm thinking: must be that calling business.

Which means he's probably in the Badlands. Hmm?

Guess I know where I'll be for awhile.

I haven't seen him, either. [He thought he was with you.]

...

Gunmax, where are you going?

[Wing hastily appears on the Link but it takes him a moment to compose an articulate response.]

WHAT!?--missing? Are you--[Of course Gunmax is sure, DUH]--when was he last seen?

[Wing shudders almost visibly. He'd heard the Calling when they'd gone to Badlands for Ashitaka. He couldn't imagine Deckerd falling to something like that...]

Are you certain it's the calling? Maybe...something else...? [Prism? How horrible that such a thing sounds better. But at least it means he's not lost.]

[raceme]

Hesnotanswering?

...

I will go with you.

[thxforthememories]

What--

[Well that's. Entirely unexpected.]

And you're going by yourself? Wing said it wasn't safe out there alone.

[drillsandballs]

Your going out there?

[His voice doesn't sound doubtful or upset, if anything the emphasis is just to confirm where Gunmax plans to go.]

I'll come, I want to help find Deckerd too.

[Even though his expression is pleading, the tone of his voice clearly states that if you leave him behind he will follow you.]

because what you needed was an affectionately grumpy farewell, right?

[docbot]

... I won't tell you not to, but if you get injured, you're coming back so I can fix you right away. You got that?

[He's not even going to entertain the fact that Gunmax might not come back at all, because if he doesn't talk about it, it's not going to happen.]

[wakizashi_straight]

This does not seem like the best plan, to me, Gunmax. Please be careful.

[He likes Deckerd too, but he doesn't want you to disappear too...]

[Audio]

[primianpolarity]

...you're going after him.

[it's not a question, though it does seek confirmation.]

[actionshortshorts]

Gunmax?

[Yuuta's biting back tears.]

Are you sure he's missing? I-I mean he hasn't been coming home -

[And how quickly he'd gotten used to calling his living quarters with Deckerd "home".]

B-but he's really not anywhere else? If you're going to go look for him, I want to come too!
