[It's honestly hard to say if this comes as all one message, pagebreaks and all, or multiple singular messages. Either way, Momo, your phone about to get blown up by a square.]

Yaoyorozu!!
I must apologize, you should have been one of, if not The first to be made aware of my return.
I hope you weren't forced to take on too much responsibility in my absence, I know our classmates can be a handful.
I can't say I understand the consequences surrounding my departure or return, but allow me to apologize for it regardless!
I feel as though I should have had more control over it.
Are you well?

[Momo blinks in surprise at first, and then...just lets him go in this stream of texts.

She'll give him a few more seconds before responding just in case]

I'm fine.
There is nothing you need to apologize for.
I hope that you arrived again unharmed.

Am I to assume that you went home?
For how long?

Quite! I can't claim to understand the circumstances but I am verily unharmed and strangely glad to be back in everyone's company, here.

It would appear so, though I cannot be certain of the passage of time.
Less than a month, but more than a week, if guesstimation is acceptable.

Did you remember being here when you were at home?

You were gone for nearly a month by my estimation.

That seems accurate to my general timeline. I believe I did remember? But it wasn't something that felt real so I didn't deem to discuss it.

Does that include Duplicity?

[...Not the question he was expecting.]

No, Duplicity was separate. Prior to my arrival here. And something I rather wish I could forget moreso than here or home.

Have you discussed that place with one of the others, then?

Jiro explained it to me.

I wanted to talk to you about it but you were gone.

I would like to see you in person, though not about that. Are you busy?

I'm sorry I didn't explain it myself, I owe you that much.

I am not especially busy, no. Would you prefer I meet you somewhere?

Sure.

There's a cafe a block from Jiro's apartment? It has a star in the logo. How about there?

I believe I know the one. I will meet you there in shall we say fifteen minutes?

I will be there.

[And true to form, she is. Early, even.]

[He says fifteen and they're both there five minutes later, which is ridiculous but very apt for them both. He smiles when he sees her-- waves, but maybe not as loud or overblown as he may have been at other times. He's quick to reach for her hand when he gets to her.]

Yaoyorozu.

[She takes it, and completes the motion, stepping in to give him a big hug.]

Iida-kun.

[Few works, but. Yeah.]

[He's stunned for a moment-- Lunatia has done wonders for his willingness to allow affection, but her immediate shift to it is still startling. He only hesitates a few seconds before he shifts his hands and wraps his arms around his shoulders, pulling her close.]

...it's good to see you again.

[She has taken to it, easily. There's even some telltale bruises on her neck that say more. She hasn't bothered to cover them up.]

You as well. I've missed you.

[He's not expressly paying attention-- until he draws back from her and the marks catch his eye. There's a moment of concern before he registers what they're more likely to be, and he squares his shoulders neatly, looking toward the ceiling for a solid few seconds. Absolutely not his place to question.]

Apologies again for my absence.

Don't. It's not your fault.

[She pats his back, pulling away and beaming up at him.]

Honestly, I was glad you went home. I had hoped you'd forgotten about all this, and that.

[He hums in thought, shaking his head.]

Really, here isn't so bad. We have things to accomplish, but... Of my options, I am not opposed to returning here if I must be away from home. How are things?

Oh, well enough, I suppose?

[Disentangling herself, she takes his hand and pulls him towards the cafe door.]

The moons are frustrating, and there was a strange incident with a cult right after you vanished. But I have had no trouble, really.

[He laughs softly, following with a nod.]

"Frustrating" is a good term. My first moon cycle I spent a few days without thumbs-- it's true what they say, that you don't know what you have until it's gone. I have never appreciated thumbs more.

[He proceeds to splay both of his hands flat and wiggle his thumbs, raising his eyebrows at her as he does so.]

...but more importantly, which moon are you under?

[That was...yes, that was pretty telling.]

Iris, the third one in the cycle.

[A pause on her end, mostly because she's amused.]

What do you turn into?

[He nods, quiet for a moment as he mentally places her on a checklist of the class.]

I'm under Sanguis-- the first go around I became a wolf? Hence the lack of thumbs. Since then it has been only simple changes, not a full-body episode. I can only hope it stays that way.

I just grew antlers for the first moon. But the triple moon, nothing.

[She is not going to say what happened during the triple moon. Actual wild horses could not drag it out of her.]

[Antlers! That's-- that's adorable. He hums in thought, rather than making a fuss about it-- Momo was likely the sort to be self-conscious about them, he didn't need to draw further attention toward them.]

The triple moon in my case was... Different, and a little strange, but significantly more tolerable. I just had minor traits of the wolf I'd entirely become during the Sanguis moon, in conjunction with some kind of scales. Upon further investigation and overview of Jiro-kun, who is also ruled by Sanguis, I believe the scales are based on varying breeds of koi fish.

[Why must he be so clinical.]
