One Step Closer

After what felt like minutes, the compad's ringing finally ceased with a click.

- Ryker? -

"C!"

Ryker quickly grabbed the compad and held it up to his face, grinning from ear to ear. Just hearing the voice of his best friend, again, was enough to make him all smiles.

- What significant event transpired on the 3rd of last Demiurge? -

"Huh?"

Caelus's question, however, threw him off guard, his smile slowly turning into a look of confusion as he tried to remember what happened on that day.

"What's up with the pop quiz?" he asked, tilting his head to the side.

- I have to make sure it's actually you, of course. -

"I'm calling from Mini C's compad, though..."

- You could have taken that by force. -

"Whaaat..."

Well, it was just Caelus being Caelus, he supposed... Ryker rubbed his chin as he recalled the events of last summer, letting out a low "Hm..." as he thought.
