The 'new message' alert definitely is there, and Kai lets out a sigh that isn't quite annoyance. It had been hard not to notice the watch itself, sure, but he hadn't really had time to process much before he'd been set upon by seagulls so that had sort of taken priority. And to be honest, part of him is still sort of waiting to be suddenly and unceremoniously whisked home again like last time.

Probably too much to hope that Matoba will take the invitation to just be straightforward in return, he seems to delight in the runaround, but it's helpful to at least have a starting point. ]
