[Audio - The Dark Hour]

[An audio call with plenty of reverb in the speaker's voice, during the dark hour?]

[...Well. Frankly, it's pretty commonplace as of late, isn't it? Even if you don't recognize the speaker's voice the underlying echo within it speaks as to their nature, while the speaker herself asks a simple question.]

Duty, or desire?

The best way to say it would be "I can get my hands dirty later." If this was a game, right now would be the part of the game where the person running the game is setting the game up -- placing clues or traps or whatever.

What are you going to do after this?

*There's a guarded and suspicious tone to his voice, like he's worried something will happen.*

What I've gotta do. Well, as much as I can do in the time-allowed, anyway.

About time.

*Ignoring the impatient Shadow.*

I don't think I'm in any danger right now. It's Devola I'm worried about.

Not now, soon enough though. Ta~

[Ominous and vague response out of the way, one Shadow would leave Allen to the tender mercies of another.]
