4th Sacrament - Lyra
[ For the first time, Walter is in charge of the Gear, rather than it being in the paws of his various Pokemon. While he appears calm and stoic, there's a certain air of nervousness in addressing the network openly. On his shoulder Darkness the Murkrow perches, shaking his tail feathers and preening his feathers. Someone wants to look nice for some reason. ]
...Who is Lyra? [ On cue, Darkness pipes up, crooning the name as smoothly as a bird can in human speech. ] Lyra! Lyra! [ ...until Walter presses a finger on his beak and he obediently shuts up. For the moment. ]
I permit my Murkrow to fly freely around the city, with strict orders to return by sunrise. Lately, he has learned to say this name and repeats it constantly. So who is Lyra? [ On his shoulder, Darkness merely begins to tweet a small tune...with 'Lyra!' added among the typical bird chirps. Walter merely glances from the bird to the camera. Thank you for proving his point, Darkness. ]

[ He vaguely recognises Envy, but still has no idea who Henry's friends are or what they look like, aside from Heather (the Heretic). Darkness knows Envy lives at Shark House but doesn't have a way to communicate that to Walter, and wouldn't do so unless specifically asked. So instead the Murkrow preens himself a little more; if Envy's on the screen, there's a chance Lyra might appear! He has to look as good for her. ]

He sure sounds like he's after a member of his own species, the way he's saying it.
[God damn it Lyra, they really don't have the time for you to be carrying on some weird illicit bird romance.]
[video]
Is Lyra with you? He will probably react if she is on screen.
[video]
Yeah, she should be around here somewhere. Give me a second.
[He gets to his feet; he was sitting on the couch in the living room, but the way he's holding the camera, Walter won't be able to really get much of a look at the inside of the house as Envy walks out the back door and into the yard. He though he saw her out here earlier...he lets out a whistle that's more to maybe get her attention than actually call her. Lyra does what she wants.]
Lyra! Lyra, if you're out here come over here! Some other bird wants to see you!
[A slightly-shimmery black head immediately pops out of the leaves of the nearest tree. Could it be? Is it her wonderful Darkness looking for her over the human machines? She flies right on down and perches on Envy's shoulder, leaning to get a glimpse.]
[video] brackets are bird-language god this post is a mess
Lyra! (I thought I would surprise you when I visited, my starlight, but my trainer had other plans!)
[ Walter watched the exchange thoughtfully. Well, that seemed to show him who Lyra was. That was quite a shimmery Murkrow, compared to the glossy look most had. ]
no subject
Well, the humans do stick their noses in where they don't have to. You will visit again soon, then?
[Envy has no idea what to do about this. The incredulous look on his face says it all.]
Looks like mine is the one yours is after.
no subject
[ Walter's got no idea either to be frank. But at least he got his answer. ]
...They seem happy.
no subject
...I guess they do. I've never seen her act like this. She's not usually so...friendly.
[IT'S HONESTLY REALLY SURREAL.]
no subject
You may go see her.
I shall be there soon! [ And witht hat last promise to his love, Darkness took off, flying directly to Shark House. Walter returned tot he screen, amused by his Pokemon's glee. ]
He will be there soon. If he causes trouble, inform me.
