[Rin hesitates, and then answers more honestly than is necessarily her wont.]

Not so good, to be honest.

[namiwasheretoo.livejournal.com]

[Being honest with the 'other' family is actually easier to do for Nami then with her own crew. Something about spending a month in hell together would do that though]

What's wrong? [She sounded more serious now. If someone was messing with their Rin, someone would have hell to pay]

[payback.livejournal.com]

It's... kind of dumb. [Not so much someone messing with her as something she just can't change.] But Madara, where I worked, he's gone. And AGI's put in people to take it over but I don't know if I want to... keep up here.

[namiwasheretoo.livejournal.com]

[Madara? That was the guy that she, Jack and Sam worked for. Hmm...] Did he get sent home or did he just go missing? [First thought: Did AGI do something to the man? Or did the Core]

Rin, if you need a safe place to stay or work, I have more then enough space.

[payback.livejournal.com]

He went home, I think... he just disappeared, in an instant. It was kind of scary, actually. Suddenly all the staff were gone too...

... Anyway. I don't really... I guess - AGI is going to take it over now. But they're already kind of annoying and I'm not sure I want to work there anymore. I was thinking of taking a couple of weeks and just - not working. I want a break. But I wondered if I could come and work for you.

[namiwasheretoo.livejournal.com]

[Frowning more at that. She had watched a crew mate just.... go before her eyes as well, but to have all the staff disappear as well? That would be worrisome]

Of course Rin, take your time. I've got the restaurant and bakery, the music emporium as well as a small dairy farm that I'm looking after now. I'm sure I can find you something you might enjoy doing. We're AGI free o you won't have to deal with that pain and torture. [Hates AGI so much...]

You'll be alright though, in the meantime? Financially?

[payback.livejournal.com]

[A pause, and then somewhat hollowly:] Madara left me like... a bunch of money. I'll be okay for a couple weeks.

[A breath.]

I didn't realize you had so much going on.

[namiwasheretoo.livejournal.com]

[a small Hmm...] Well, if you need anything, you know how to find me.

[she gave a breath too, heavy in a sigh]

When Brooke left I was left with... a few things. Then Ace left so... I picked up the farm as well. I've got some locals working on that one.

[payback.livejournal.com]

You're doing well, huh?

[namiwasheretoo.livejournal.com]

I'm... [honestly? Not doing the greatest, but she could be doing worse as well. The pause said she had to think on how to say it.] doing alright. Businesses are alright. I keep losing crew mates but finding old friends. [nightmares as well] The normal things.

[payback.livejournal.com]

It's easier to be busy, isn't it? I want to take some time... but having all that time to think, I think I'd go nuts, to be honest.

[namiwasheretoo.livejournal.com]

It does make things easier. I don't like letting my mind wander. [a soft chuckle] Take your time with the break. When you're mind starts wandering too much we'll find you a place at Brooke's.

[payback.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Nami.

[namiwasheretoo.livejournal.com]

Anytime. We have to look out for each other after all. [It was just the three of them now as it was...]

[payback.livejournal.com]

Mm... so if you need anything too, please let me know.
