is this a bit
cuz it isnt funny

[honestly, lup doesn't even have to ask, not when her stomach lurches like it does. kravitz wouldn't...]

dont fuck with me skeletor

is he there or not?

[knockthemdead]

Lup, this is hardly something I would joke about.

He is not here. I trust you have a list of places? I can portal to you and then to each of them. Unless you wish to split up, but I doubt that would be very advantageous.

[He's blabbering. It happens when he's nervous.]

[restinglichface]

[He's not joking. So where the fuck is Taako?]

i havent seen him since yesterday

[The admission, even just through text, makes it seem too real.]

yeah i know where hed be
i know all of his regular haunts
just

come pick me up or whatever

text > action

[knockthemdead]

[That's what Kravitz would like to know.]

Nor have I.

[He hopes beyond reason that they're panicking over nothing. That they'll find Taako on one of their very first stops, and he'll laugh at them, and Lup will pinch his nose, and his soul will stop feeling like it's unwinding.

He doesn't bother responding to the next text, because it's a waste of time. He simple opens a portal, steps through to their room, and calls for her.]

Lup?

[restinglichface]

[Lup doesn't have quite as much experience with the reaper's portals, so even if she's expecting him, her ears perk upwards when Kravitz so abruptly steps into the twin's shared room.

It's only because the elf is still in such disbelief over Taako leaving that she looks so calm, worry knitting between her brows and her mouth pressed into a too tight line, but otherwise, she isn't even the slightest bit teary-eyed. That would be giving up and accepting her twin was gone and Lup just isn't there yet.

Who knows if she'll ever really be ready to accept that.]

Right here, bone boy. Ready? I've got a list.

[knockthemdead]

[He turns to the sound of her voice, striding over and taking in her seemingly super chill expression. Kravitz has seen this face before. On Taako.

Maybe it's not exactly his place, but he reaches out and rests a hand briefly on her shoulder, attempting to be reassuring. He nods at her, similarly swallowing his tension and anxiety.]

Yes, of course.

[The moment she gives him a location to start off with, he sweeps his scythe wielding arm in an arc and opens another portal. He's sure they're in agreement that there's no time to waste.]
