Dove is sitting across from his Ren at one of the booths in Leblanc. They both sit quietly, not quite managing to speak up as they wait for Maruki.
As Dove sits, he stares blankly at his phone. Time feels as though it moves so slowly, and even though they both discussed this thoroughly, he doesn't really know how he feels about what's about to happen.
His eyes slowly lift up slightly to look at Ren's, and Ren seems to be staring somewhat blankly at the table.
Dove tries to open his mouth to say something, anything, to make certain they're both ready for this. There's still time, he can still tell Maruki to just leave the tapes at the door or something, but his voice won't leave his throat.
...Perhaps they're stuck waiting. Waiting for something neither of them are prepared for. What has Dove gotten Ren sucked into? He doesn't want Ren getting hurt any further... He couldn't bear the thought of anything happening to him.
He gulps, doing his best to steel himself...
That's when his phone vibrates, snapping Dove back to reality, and making him switch his attention to his new message.
Maruki is here...
But even before he walks in, Dove can hear Ren from across the table. Reluctant in tone, but clearly aware of the gravity of the situation. The necessity of it all.

"...He's here, isn't he."
And all Dove can do, is nod.
