Train. Soubi changes his route, a more direct way to the nearest station.
"It helps," he assures. "I'll find you."
There is no other choice. Soubi stays on the phone as he catches the next train. He studies the map. He thinks he's going in the right direction... it feels like he is. And if he isn't--No. He'll deal with that possibility if and when he has to, not before.
"I may lose service," he warns as he leans against a pole. "If I do, I'll call you as soon as I reach the last stop. Find somewhere safe, Ritsuka."
“Soubi, I’ll be fine. You’re worrying.” Ritsuka let out a breath and leaned against the tree again, looking around again. It was quiet out here but there was something unsettling about that. He didn’t like being out here but that didn’t mean Soubi needed to go running around searching for him. Though... he definitely appreciated it. Knowing Soubi was looking for him was reassuring.
He shuffled on his feet and dropped his gaze down to the ground, feeling his ears flatten against his head. Taking a breath he slowly let it out. “Thank you...”
What else could he do? Soubi stays on the phone until he loses service, then waits in irritated silence for it to come back. He tells himself that it's for the best that they not talk this whole time: he doesn't want to run down Ritsuka's battery. Shortly before he reaches the last stop, he calls Ritsuka again.
"I'm here. Tell me what's around you."
It's as good a way to start as any, and, if nothing else, it will keep Ritsuka talking to him. Soubi just hopes his phone battery isn't close to dying.
