[The information-sharing meeting in the library had been an earlier affair in the day, and Jade had seen Natsuno present for a bit of time before getting engrossed in his own investigation of some notes and conversations there; possibly they'd even arrived together. Natsuno leaves before Jade takes his own leave from the meeting himself--but, perhaps, it's still a bit earlier before the mysterious explosion heard by some on a floor above. No, in fact, Jade may have missed that bit of racket in entirety, moving on to stop by the sundries shop right afterwards himself as he does...
A text is sent a couple hours later, around the middle of the day.]
Just so you know, I've acquired yet another extra box from sundries! Well, and it had something in it as well. Good news: nothing too ridiculous this time! I think you may be rather interested to see this, actually. But of course, the box is yours afterwards; if you've any extra things you've wanted to pick up from the shops recently, there's a new container for them! 🙂🎉
[Look, a little levity feels warranted, after the rather gloomy affair of that information meeting...!
And there's no response in the end, which is--a bit odd, considering Natsuno's general promptness. But oh well, it's probably fine. Must have gotten himself busy doing something with Clarke, perhaps.]
[A bit later in the evening on the same day: a second message.]
By the way, I'd owe you a small favor, if you don't mind bringing in a coffee sometime tonight. It's going to be a late one, I think; much to compile, from the meeting. The usual black is fine.
Clarke is looking for you. Rita as well...they both seem about ready to tear the ship apart. Are you aware?
I haven't the faintest idea why you'd be trying to hide from either of them...you provided decent enough warning the last time you went off on one of the lifeboats for awhile. Could have had a bit more tact this time around too, don't you think?
Quite the worrisome stunt you're pulling here.
[And then...there are no more texts at all, as the day unfolds and certain things come to light.]
