[video] [action Route 33]

[imthe_shit]

[Anyone who's on Route 33 might hear a low rumbling sound coming from Union Cave... before suddenly...

BAM! An Onix bursts out of the entrance, with a trainer holding onto its back. That trainer is... rather old, but he looks pretty flexible to be able to hold on like that... It's Old Snake! Despite the dangerous ride, he's looking pretty smug about his catch. He flips on the video of his Pokegear.]

Kept you waiting, huh?

[ For video-viewers, they'd be able to see trees passing at a fast rate, and Snake's very rare smile. Aw yeah. He chuckles. ]

I caught a big one. Solid, say hello.

[ The next five seconds are filled with a loud bellow from the ONIX that Snake is riding on. Snake winces a bit at the bellow, but overall, he looks pretty satisfied. ]

At this rate, Azalea shouldn't be too far off. Keep it coming, Solid, you can rest all you want when we get there.

... [His face is just... He's staring, eyebrows creased. He feels like Otacon is pushing him away, and he can't understand why... Is it because of the timeline difference? Is it because of Liquid?]

... Hhnn... [ Of course, like a stubborn fool, Snake doesn't pursue it. He just nods his head, looking at Solid and telling him to start moving again. ]

Yeah... okay...

See you later, I guess...

[Truthfully, it was a little bit of both plus an attempt to be a little less codependent. He shouldn't have needed to keep relying on his friends so much, right? He could take care of himself just fine...couldn't he?]

...please take care of yourself, okay?

... [ He doesn't respond, just drops his gaze as he shuts off communication. ]
