[slkdfsh shhh don't worry i Do Not See It There isn't any room for him to process the request, let alone deny it, as W starts the video call before he can. Well then. This is happening now, it seems.

The screen shows him a woman who certainly doesn't look—well, anything like Faust, which feeds into his doubt about their relationship. Certainly, one's family doesn't have to look like one another, and he's not at all unfamiliar with finding family in those without blood relations. And the horns...? Intriguing, but nothing worth getting too distracted by.

With a soft sigh, he initiates his own video transmission, showing a face with similarly red eyes, and dark hair swept over one of them. His expression is carefully neutral, unwilling to let his guard down until he's more sure of this girl's wants and intentions. Considering the nature of the world he came from, even good-natured people like him had learned when to steel their hearts and gazes when they needed to. Thanks to that, Louis had commanded both respect from his peers, and fear from those that would make him their enemy.]

... Hello. Care to explain what this is all about, then?

[kekw]

[ ur the best ♥ W is very thankful that while Louis is still very obviously wary of her, he's also quite an agreeable individual or at least for this occasion. Alas, now that she's able to see his facade, she can immediately come into a conclusion. ]

Wow, you're good-looking~

[ It's unimportant yet so important for her to say. W keeps her smile intact as she continues, though the said smile gradually turns into a playful grin. ]

Let me guess, you are thinking something alongside of "She doesn't look like Faust at all! She can't be his sister!" or sort, aren't you? [ She might be putting words into his mouth, she knows that. But there's no point in hiding it especially when the guy met Faust already. ] In case you're thinking about that, yes, you're correct, but I'll leave the explanation for that for later.

[ After all, this sibling business is more from W's side. She just pretty much self-proclaimed herself as one. Not to mention Faust's... Faust. ]

Anyway, I'll just cut to the chase. Did Faust tell you anything about himself?

[ Though her face is still giving the vibe that she's entertained by this encounter, there's a hint of a caution and threat coming from her last question. That one, obviously, is a much, much major case opposed to the W-Faust sibling stuff. ]

[bloodspring]

[You're in luck, W. He's generally agreeable on most fronts, being the patient and thoughtful person he is. Until you cross a certain line once. Then you'll be missing out on all the good he has to offer.

He simply blinks thickly at the compliment, an eyebrow faintly raising. Pointless flattery, as it sounded to him... He's going to remain a firm wall until he's satisfied with whatever answers she'll provide.

He doesn't like the way her tone twists on that final part—the real question and point of this chat—but his gaze remains even, and words perfectly unimpressed.]

He wasn't the talkative type. Didn't say much more than he needed to.

[Which wasn't a complete lie. Louis had been the one driving much of the conversation, and probably if he hadn't, there wouldn't have been a conversation at all.]

If there's something in particular you're wondering about, you're going to have to be more specific. Maybe it'll jog my memory.

[kekw]

[ If there's anything that she can catch so far, is that this Louis guy is most definitely not just your everyday person. The way he replies to her easily tells her that he's very taciturn, if not extremely careful with this.

Which proves to be a difficult problem for her. He definitely won't speak of it until she spells it out. Sigh. ]

Figures so. Anyway, did he tell you anything about "Reunion" or "Oripathy"? Or- [ -That he's dead already. ] -No, those two are enough for now. Did he mention them at all?

[bloodspring]

[Those words certainly ring a bell... but he takes great care in not showing it. His expression remains steeled and impenetrable, unwilling to give up a single inch just yet. He'll entertain this conversation, but he's not amicable to the idea of spilling what little he knows about someone to another someone he knows even less.]

If he had, what would it matter to you? Couldn't you just ask him yourself, as his so-called big sister?

[kekw]

[ So this is how he's going to play, huh? Normally, that kind of resolve and impenetrable defense of a man would excite the flame inside of W to fire back with some strong snarks. Normally. Unfortunately, this conversation has some sort of urgency behind it for W and playing around with it is far from being the best option.

Contrary to her previous expression, W in returns actually looks a bit cornered at this. She looks away to the side for a bit before she bits her lip to soon reply again. ]

It's... exactly because I consider myself as his big sister that I couldn't ask him.

[ Especially with someone like Faust, he always had this impenetrable wall around him, perhaps even stronger than something that Louis is giving her right now. There's practically zero chance that he would tell W of all people. Not to mention that W herself basically doesn't know how to act like an actual sibling.

Right now, this is the only thing that W could resort into. Dropping more truth bombs. ]

He was a terrorist. He made genocide a thing back in Terra, our world. [ In which she basically implies that she's also one, though her case was a bit complicated than that. Considering how smart Louis has shown himself to be, W deems it's necessary to spell that fact out - He probably can put two and two together. ] He doesn't want to repeat it- No, I don't want him to repeat it. He deserved better.

[ Although there's no sign of her going into tears any time soon, the pain and regret is already obvious from the way W is staring back at Louis. ]

I just don't want him to go back into the wrong social circle, Louis.

[bloodspring]

[For the first time, the woman on the other side of the screen hesitates, and Louis feels some sense of accomplishment. Not that he delights in the discomfort of others, surely not—but once the façade begins to fall apart and genuine emotions start showing through, it becomes that much easier to believe and trust in someone's words.

Unless this W is a particularly exceptional actor, but right now, he wants to allow the benefit of the doubt. His kindness and empathy is both his greatest strength and weakness, as shown in times like this.

Of course, the word "terrorist" doesn't have a good sound to it in any regard, and it being quickly followed by "genocide" only deepens the furrow in his brow, eyes sharpening. If W associates with Faust knowing these things, and even goes so far as to divulge such information to Louis... just what does that say about her? He gets the strong feeling that the two strangers both have a lot of blood on their hands.

... Louis himself isn't all that innocent either, though. He won't pass judgment until he knows more, despite the bleak connotations those words carry. Especially when now, W is pleading on Faust's behalf. Louis knows too how young the other appeared... While it's not that younger people shouldn't be held accountable for their actions—if it's a second chance that she wants for him...

The revenant releases a soft sigh, visibly relenting.]

I hear what you're saying. I do, but... What is this, then? Are you screening me? Like a parent checking your kid's friends to make sure they're not in with a bad crowd? And you somehow even managed to find my contact info... I'd only met with him once, you know.
