This is Solomon Wreath speaking. To whom do I have the pleasure?
The project from Valishaera... where is the information from it?
[This ... is not exactly expected. Raine would have told Solomon if she'd actually broached the subject, but he honestly can't tell which research Bakura means.]
Which? The one to create a Dreaming gateway or ... the other?
['The other' being the one where he had tried to summon parts of Bakura's ghosts.]

[ Bakura's tone doesn't waver from its casual pleasantry. ]
Both, waheh-maw. I wouldn't want to miss anything.

God forbid you be unobservant.
[His one is dry, faintly teasing.]
I keep them in my laboratory at the Guild. Did Raine speak to you?

The second set of research.
[She did say she wanted him present when she broached it, it might have come up in conversation somehow.]
Are you ... reconsidering, now they're back?
[Raine didn't tell him and Solomon hasn't asked, but something about Bakura has been different. It just took some figuring out in relation to Solomon's new way of 'seeing' to find the similarity to viewing the ghosts when he did have eyes.
[Of course, then there was his sense of the other thing too ...]

She didn't, no.
[ Judiciously ignoring the question. ]
What about the stone arches?

What about the stone arches?
[Hm. For a moment Solomon is quiet, contemplating. What was the cause behind this request, he wonders? He's not sure, or whether it would be wise to prod a little further given that Bakura didn't take the chance to clarify.]
The same.
[To hell with it.]
This is sudden. What do you need them for?
The same.

I should stop by the Guild, then.
For research, of course. That's what we were doing, true?

[On November 4th, Solomon will have an envelope slipped under the apartment door. It contains this:]
Well, it's what I was doing. I wasn't sure you were on board.
[He's ... a little wary, given how certain of Bakura's aspects have been heightened lately. But he has no real reason to refuse, either.]
The arch is in one of the courtyards; it leads to a Dreaming laboratory. If you like, I can have the material copied for you to take away.

Circumstances change.
That'd be fine, thank you.
That'd be fine, thank you.
So they do.
I'll let you know when that's done. There's a bit to transcribe.
[Photocopiers aren't really a thing in Keeliai, and all.]

On the 25th, a knock at the apartment door will alert Solomon to the presence of a visitor. Without a word the visitor will hand him an envelope. Inside, written in raised letters is the Song of the Valkyries. A small note at the bottom, also in raised letters says: I wanted to thank you for sharing a story with me and I felt that it was only right to share one with you in return.- Valdis
[Raine loves him; of course she does. But she’s also aware that Solomon is fuzzier on where love lies.]
[She’s also fairly certain he loves her. She’s waiting for him to figure it out himself. He’ll get there eventually.]
[So her promises to him are rather more about expressing love without saying it, as follows:]
Love is not always the most practical thing, I’m aware. Here, then, are my promises to you:
That I will always meet you as an equal, as you have me, and give your words weight even when I disagree;
That I will put no less weight behind your dreams and goals than I would my own, and help you reach for them when you cannot do so alone;
That I will help when you are hurt, no matter how difficult it may be, and trust you in turn with my weaknesses;
and that, so long as I have the memory of you and enough life in me to reach out, you will not be alone, for I will find some way to you.
In short, I promise you companionship and partnership, trust and faith, and my life entwined with yours, so long as we have each other.
