[OKAY HE GIVES. The last text has an attachment that will open up into a giant screen-consuming cat wallpaper.]
Now you know we're both okay!
Now you know we're both okay!
[ RING RING banana phone (or Cerevice, w/e), you better pick up, Gilbert, or else he'll call you like fifty different times in a row before declaring you a hoax and/or deceased to all their nearest and dearest. He could just skip the formalities and press Vessalius for information, but it isn't like Nightray to willingly shred semantics.
Anyways, he trusts his adopted brother enough to care about the recent RUMORS and SLANDER concerning their family. Or something. Okay. (That's just a blanket excuse, really.) He waits a full thirty seconds before speaking into the receiving end because he doesn't want to seem that desperate to reach him, so: ]
... Gilbert?

[Wow Gilbert, go thank people, it won't kill you!!
But he'll successfully rescue the loaf of bread from wherever it is, taking care to bring it back and place it on the counter wherever Gil's setting up his work.]
Hmm... [Like he really needs to think this over, either?!] What about something sweet? Do you have any jam or honey?

[Oz immediately goes for the jar of honey and pulls it over to himself, unscrewing the cap so he can rudely stick a finger in... He'll continue talking like he's not being a honey bandit, though!!]
I knew I could depend on Gil to be prepared! I haven't had any of your cooking in ages, so let's eat as soon as possible, okay?
[It's probably been like, a day. Maybe two... IT'S NOT RARE FOR OZ TO COME OVER TO DEMAND FOOD...]

[ LAAAAAME. No wonder he hasn't been able to contact his sibling if he was spending all his time moodily despairing on the ground, wholly overtaken by lover's heartburn and whatever passed for looming infatuation these days. Not that he knows anything about it, because, you know, them's the breaks. He really, really doesn't want to know that his brother's a walking angstfest, even if he's all but guessed as much at this point.
It's admittedly kind of weird hearing Gilbert's voice after such a protracted hiatus, though, mainly because he sounds like he's crying?! Maybe he really was choked up about Elliot attempting to reach a stalemate after that whole sellout business where Gilbert sold his soul to the Vessalius dukedom to pledge allegiance to a dweeb and a girl that liked to sniff and bite people like she was feral. ]
Are you alright? Do you need a moment?
[ They haven't even touched his death, but frankly speaking, Oz has probably brought him up-to-snuff on the current state of affairs. He isn't calling to host a pity party or anything. ]
I'll cut right to it, then. Did you hear about Vincent? Has he told you anything in particular lately?

[HI, GIL. As if you don't have enough green-eyed blonde-haired brats in your life already, here's one more sending you a cheerful video message!]
Hi there! So, are you the same Gilbert Nightray who's a huge nerd by day but a suave heartbreaker by night?
[...what the hell has Oz been telling her...]
