I haven’t been able to find my brother, Joshua, since the fog came. Has anyone seen a man, a little over 6 feet tall, light brown hair that’s a big longer, blue-green eyes, wears a lot of black and red, has a very formal and convoluted way of speaking? He’s kind, curious, intelligent. He would have done his best to help anyone who may have needed it during the mission.

Please, if anyone has seen him, call me, text me, yell my name from the top of a building, I don’t care. I just need to know that he’s okay.

Shit. I'll keep an eye out for him. Do you think he might have gone home?

[herofhopeless]

Possibly. I just want him safe.

[Which is the truth, but only part of his conflict. He feels selfish to want Joshua to stay with him, but if he isn’t responding and he is still in Etraya, it means he’s been hurt and badly. The guilt gnaws at him.]

[herofhopeless]

He got sent home either during or right after the mission

[twin_blade]

[ It appears the mystery has been solved, then. Vax will end his search. ]

I'm sorry, Clive. How are you holding up?

[herofhopeless]

[Clive stares at the message for probably a little too long. Vax has already seen a hell of a lot worse from Clive. Might as well be honest.]

Not great. Trying to be relieved he wasn't killed. I don't think it's working.

[twin_blade]

[ Vax knows he wouldn't be doing well if his sister was suddenly gone. ]

Is there anything I can do? Do you want some company or something?

[herofhopeless]

[Clive is distinctly not doing well. At all. ]

Would you come over tomorrow and keep me company? I’m going to go through Joshua’s room.

[He can’t leave Joshua’s things there. He just can’t. Can’t leave the reminder that his brother is gone. That he isn’t coming home at the end of the day. That he may be lost to him for the rest of the time Clive is trapped in this place.

Barnabas went a year without Sleipnir. After being away from Joshua for nearly 20 years and finally having him back again… how is he supposed to be without him again?]

[twin_blade]

Of course. I'll be there.

[ Clive just needs to send along the location. ]

[herofhopeless]

Thank you. He lived with me at the Garreg Mach monastery. Sending you the location. See you tomorrow.
