☀ EIGHT; ( video )

[ It's Bob -- well, no, it's the Sentry -- and he's in his room at the Avengers Mansion, standing by the window. ]

Um -- I'm not sure if there's a protocol for this or an etiquette of some kind, but those of you who knew Black Bolt of the Inhumans should know that I think that he's gone. [ His brow furrow slightly. ] We were sharing this room but I haven't seen him in a couple of days, and I can't get a hold of him, either.

[ He hesitates for a moment before continuing. ]

But I guess this could be as good an opportunity as any to move back in permanently, if none of you mind. If he comes back we'll figure something out again.

... Sort of?

[couldbeavoided]

We're not that close, but we're -- you could still call us friends. I'll still miss him.

[bringerofwar]

Yeah, I know how that goes.

[BEAT]

Ignore that shithead, by the way. [please]

[couldbeavoided]

[ Laughs awkwardly. ]

Oh. It's no problem. I didn't even think about any of that. [ HEH. ] I wouldn't jump to a conclusion like that.

[bringerofwar]

[o h bummer] ... Right. That's. Good.

[couldbeavoided]

[ MAYBE AFTER YOU BUY HIM DINNER... ]

Is he a friend of yours?

[bringerofwar]

Unfortunately. He's also a huge fucking idiot.

[couldbeavoided]

It's not that bad. [ Smirks. ] I'm no good with noticing that sort of stuff anyway.

[bringerofwar]

[slightly mollified by that....] Well, it's not the only reason he's a moron.

[oh christ dat smirk SUBJECT CHANGE TIME] You're moving somewhere?

[couldbeavoided]

Should I ask? [ He sits on the window ledge. ] I have a room at the Avengers Mansion, but I hadn't been using it much. Now that he's gone, though, I might as well move back in.

[bringerofwar]

Probably shouldn't. [Beat.] "Avengers?" That's a helluva team name.

[couldbeavoided]

It is, isn't it? [ Heh. ] That's been the name since long before I joined. But our motto is more about protecting people.
