[ This audio message comes to Athrun's earpiece early on, probably almost right after their first meeting. It also comes at the worst time for Athrun, like when he has a headache, or is trying to get some sleep, you know how it goes. ]
Oh, that. [Said entirely too matter-of-fact, really.] I figured your intent might've been to drag me back without a fight to get a proper explanation for betraying them, like Shinn. But it wouldn't surprise me if the chairman had picked someone who knew me, to test their loyalty. He did it before.
Tch, you don't think I would have found a way to avoid that if it did happen!? We had to be careful enough when it came to even mentioning your name, lest my team get burdened by suspicions falling on me by the higher-ups when we had important things to focus on!
But as luck, if you could call it that, would have it, nothing like that came up at all because nobody really assumed you were alive, after the reports came in.
Wasn't exactly in a good state to reach logical conclusions...
[He pauses. Learning about his unexpected survival so quickly meant he had been given very little time to consider what it might have been like for everyone else who hadn't gotten that immediate reassurance.]
I... sorry. I never intended for any of it to go so wrong.
[ Is Athrun ever in a state to reach logical conclusions? Is what Yzak almost says, but surprisingly, bites his tongue on it. He is getting a sorry, after all. ]
Who does?
And for your information, later on I did come looking to kick your ass when we found out you were alive again!! But that was on nobody else's order!
I haven't asked for many details, but... after the war ended, I'm guessing.
[He doesn't even care if the ass-kicking was successful or not; it's irrelevant. (Though for the record it would be totally unfair, with the state he'd be in.) If they're all alive and well enough to meet up and have a scuffle on the table, then it bodes well for how things turned out. ...In the grand scheme of things, at least. He's got no illusions about there being plenty of collateral damage, as there had been in the first war. Experiencing the sort of damage that the Destroy and Durandal's new mobile suits could cause was enough to tell him that.]
[ Athrun can clearly hear the pause of Yzak recalling something when he says that. He hears Dearka's voice echo in his head: "It's not surprising nobody contacted us. We're members of ZAFT, after all."
Both of these god damned bastards and their sense-making. ]
[ Technically one can't angrily slam a phone down to hang up with these earpieces. But somehow Yzak ends the communication in a way where it feels like that. Loud, staticy, abrupt, hopefully making Athrun's headache worse.
(nevermind that this is before Yzak comes to visit him in person to make sure he's doing okay u_u) ]

You — could have figured something out!

If you think of anything, you'd better let me know.
