He actually liked Portland, a lot. He liked the northwest states but right now? He rather be somewhere else... somewhere like South America with Eames.
It had been a few days since they left LA on separate flights - one to Portland and the other south and cross a couple of borders. Of course, he'd be making his own way down within the next couple of weeks but it didn't change the fact that he was finding himself missing the forger.
Not that it was surprising at all. He had missed him when Eames was in Australia too. Though, he had been reluctant to admit it.
It was still a new feeling he wasn't used to - this missing someone because you just wanted to be around them. Though, he was sure, it wasn't completely one sided. Not with everything they had discussed at any rate.
Pausing in getting a drink, Eames smiled as he glanced at his phone. Pausing, not needing the drink, he moved to pick up his phone. That was what he wanted, and he moved to sit down on the setee as he typed a reply.
My poor boy. You know where you're loved? South America. It misses you.
[It's a phone that Eames doesn't use hardly at all anymore. Mal had given it to him to contact her and he's kept paying the bill all this time. For her.
Every now and again it gets a message, someone from their dream contacts sending a message about a job, about advice, about things that they all would have turned to Mallorie for. It had gone off in nearly a year though.
Then he heard it chime.
Frowning, he got it out of his desk, staring at the message. His frowning deepening as he read it.]
Regret to inform you that the Count is dead. Long live the Count.
[He sighs even as he sends it. What if it's real? Could it be after all this time?]
