Might want to check with the Blues for that. If there's extra supplies of bags or baskets, they'd know.

[A beat.]

Or ask one of the Elric brothers. Edward or Alphonse. They may be able to make you a basket. And good thinking.

[gottacatch]

Oh, Alphonse! I saw him earlier. Do you think any fallen wood would work for his almmy-thing?

[forgivetheinsubordination]

[Garrus chuckles before nodding. The boy's rather young, and that's not always a bad thing.]

Alchemy, yeah. I think it could. So you could bring him some first, and then see what you can get for charizard and yourself and possibly others. And let me know if you wind up needing a hand.

[Red might be able to adapt. Garrus is glad of this.]

[gottacatch]

[ Alchemy. That was it. ]

Alright. Is there a place I can find you if I need you? Um, [ And he looks around. ] but you could probably be anywhere at any time, huh... I remember the days last forever here.

[ And who wants to be in one place all day? ]

[forgivetheinsubordination]

[Garrus taps the blackglass.]

Remember how I said it could do messages?

[He pulls up the name options, and selects his own name.]

This is how you send a message just to me. Doesn't mean it's private, but it's not public.

[gottacatch]

[ ! He already forgot in the span of five seconds. ]

So like e-mail! Well, it doesn't matter if it's private.

[ Red cannot see the bigger picture. He brings up his blackglass again, fiddling with it... wow, it's fiddly. There's some squinting, but... ]

Do I select contacts? [ And you know what, he does as he asks. ] Oh-- wow... that's a lot of names...

[ He'll... begin scrolling down now... ]

[forgivetheinsubordination]

[The hint is lost on the boy, but maybe it's better that way. Garrus nods as Red starts reading the names.]

You'll get to know the people. The list'll seem less daunting, then.

[And more sad, because as much as Garrus wants to prevent further deaths, he doesn't know that their efforts will succeed. And there will almost definitely be more transfers, too.]

[gottacatch]

Mmm. [ He never used the internet much back home, but it must be like keeping in contact with people like that, Red imagines. ]

Can I speak to the people you told me about with this? To ask if I can go out looking for food.

[forgivetheinsubordination]

[Garrus nods.]

Yeah. Just find them by their name, and you can message them.

[gottacatch]

Alright. [ He smiles, just holding a second longer before he speaks again to take in Garrus's appearance. ] Thanks. I'll send some messages and see what people say and let you know.

[ And just another pause, but hesitantly so, his smile dipping some into apologetic territory. ] And... I'm sorry again about earlier.

[forgivetheinsubordination]

[Another nod.]

Thanks back. I appreciate it.

[At least the kid clearly hadn't meant anything by it, and he seems genuinely apologetic. Garrus can easily forgive him.]

Good luck with that, and I'll see you around.

[And with that, he's ready to head off to see if anyone else needs help.]
