Nida was late coming home. Ignis had come home from work and found the place empty. Not allowing that to ruin his day, he turned to face the task of making dinner. He kept half expecting the man to come in through the door and that didn't happen. Perturbed, Ignis finished dinner and tried to call Nida on the tell phone. The man didn't pick up which was even more unusual and started him worrying.

So the advisor turned everything off, wrapped the food carefully and bedded Hibiscus down away from the two felines who knew better but Ignis sectioned him off anyway.

Heading out the door and locking it after him, he took to the streets, going towards the Guard headquarters. Repeatedly he took out his phone in an attempt to call and the more it went unanswered, the more worried Ignis got.

This wasn't like Nida at all.

The air was off which was normally pleasant and for whatever reason, the strategist found himself doing double time. He went the normal routes that Nida did and something told him to turn back around.

"Nida?"

Where had the man gone?
