[Albert and Caesar]
I would like a word, when you have the time. In person.
[Katara]
Are you well?
[Richard]
There is something I wish to show you. When is a suitable time to meet?
[With those messages taken care of, Sigmund makes a quick round of the house to check that everything and everyone is well before he starts his morning routine. Unfortunately, this leads to a less than thrilling discovery. Aya's room is empty. Gone. He knows he should be pleased that she's not trapped here any longer... so why does he feel that twinge of loneliness and guilt? He'll knock on both Ed and Capell's doors before he goes, so that he can give them the news. ...Individually. Individually would probably be best.
Oh, and there was that matter he wanted to speak to Edward about, as well... But perhaps today isn't the best day.]

What is it?
Aya has returned home.
His brain hasn't quite cleared of its sleepy haze and the true meaning of the statement isn't registering.]
Huh?
She's gone.
Yeah, sitting down is a good idea. He gracelessly plops down onto the bed.]
Oh. [He can't summon up anything more intelligent to say. It's a little hard for him to think right now. The metaphorical ton of bricks he just got hit with has left him dazed.]
Silently, he bows his head and takes comfort in the fact that at least Sigmund is there.]
Thank you for telling me.
You're not alone.
I know. You and Ed are still here. [And he couldn't be more grateful for that.]
Yeah. [But he'll probably mope around for a while despite agreeing.] It's probably safer for her.
Not for a while though. [Two years at the least.]
Heh, well, I'll try not to let it.
Are you still tired?
