243 // audio + action
[ It's been a long day. An eternity or perhaps just a few minutes, seconds, heartbeats since he woke up to an empty bed and an even emptier apartment. It wasn't too hard to swallow back the panic at first, keep it at bay with positive thinking and the stubborn task of looking in every nook and cranny, of testing the line over and over and over again because sooner or later he would turn up. He'd pick up the call. He was probably just busy, or out in Sector 6 or taking a bath.

He'd show up, sooner or later.

Morning turns to day turns to evening and he's still alone. By now the panic is all-consuming, squeezing at his heart until he can't even breathe. Fingers shaking, Aidan flicks on the audio feed. One last ditch effort. ]

Has anyone- [ But he stops himself there. Sometimes you know the answer all too well. So well that you don't want it confirmed more than you've already done yourself. He draws a deep breath, steadies himself for another short minute. ]

If anyone wants t' know... I know he had a few friends here. Probably more than he knew. Helix is...

Helix is gone.

[ With that he cuts the feed, abruptly, tugs the headpiece off just as frantically before heading down to the beach. He can't think of any other place to go. ]

((ooc: Anyone is welcome to find him down at the beach! Audio responses will be icly delayed seeing as he's pretty damn heartbroken, but they will be responded to eventually. ))

	[ Hei may not believe that they're friends, but Aidan does. Not good friends but still friends and out of everyone in the dome, he's certainly one that Aidan knows will understand this. It wasn't long since Saya disappeared. Not long at all. He glances up at the soft crunch of footsteps in the sand, returns that nod quietly before speaking up. ] Hey.

	[ He stilled briefly, wondering if perhaps Aiden knew more about him then all but one now left in the dome. But then he relaxed and simply smiled softly. ] The ocean is soothing this late at night; have you been here for long? [ He moved on. Even if Aiden knew his secret, he had kept it well and if not... what was a simple greeting to get affronted over? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ No, he doesn't know. It's still Li for him. Saya never told him and they haven't exactly been talking enough for him to find out some other way. ] I don't know... guess I have. [ A pause. ] I never saw th' ocean back home, y'know. Only sweet-water lakes... we were too far inland. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ the source didn't matter; it was the sound the water made lapping at the shore or rushing down in an endless rush to meet the sea. Water, the source of all things. Even death.

Shivering in the evening breeze, Hei hunched his shoulders slightly, hands still stuck in his pocket for warmth, for avoiding the nervous tic of not knowing what to do with one's hands. ]

A lake isn't too different from an ocean if the shore isn't visible. You must miss it. [ That home he spoke of and the Helix who may or may not return there. ]

	Home? Yeah... yeah, I miss it. 's been a few years since I was back there. [ The actual home he came from, the one Helix most likely won't see. He promised them, both Helix and Lexi. He told them he'd show them the farm, cook them real food that hasn't been processed to oblivion... doesn't look like that'll happen anytime soon, if ever. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
