[Varian's been living in a state of heightened stress for the last few months- since he found out what Zodiac were planning and his subsequent plans in how to throw a spanner into the works. He very almost drops his phone when the text comes through.
He reads it a couple of times over and his uneasiness doesn't really abate. He's not sure if anything WOULD happen to the people in the apartments- especially after what he has planned. He can't discount them acting in retaliation against him for that. Getting Fern out of the building would be...something. He's still fully expecting to have to get the hell out of dodge, himself. But if he can do something to protect his loved ones then that will be SOMETHING.
He checks with Fern first, of course. Fern doesn't know what he's doing either, and that's for the best. Maybe between the both of them Amal and Fern can be SAFE. ]
Yeah. They're acting super weird lately.
[He knows why he knows why and he's lying to the people he loves about it. It's making him feel sick in his stomach. Up until now, he never understood why his father hid his knowledge of the Dark Kingdom from him, but now he gets it. Sometimes, it's the only thing you can do.
The further away you are from their influence the better - he's glad this is over text- so Amal can't hear the panicked noise that gurgles out of his throat. Oh dear father figure, you have NO idea. ]
Thanks, Amal. That'd actually be...a really good idea. I checked if Fern and he's okay with it, too. It's probably better than sleeping in a place they control completely, right?
[It's probably suspicious that he's not even asking about what house rules there are right off the bat. ]
