Choosing somewhere different this time, Hohenheim sat staring at the fountain as it bubbled and broke the otherwise silent night air. There weren't many people out this way, considering the festivities he expected people to be a part of with Valentine's Day having happened the night before.

With that thought in mind, he hesitated on texting Ekstrom for a few more minutes. They seemed like someone who would be on a date or with someone this weekend. It wasn't something he personally dealt with, which he was fine with.

Debating back and forth, he typed, deleted, then retyped the message four times before finally hitting send.

I went to Mercury, it didn't go well. I have some questions if you're free. I'm by that new fountain they put up last month, the one that has the mosaic tiles beneath the water.


Snapping a picture of it to send along as well, he set his phone down next to him as he looked back up at the sky. Mercury wasn't as easy to see among the stars, from what he could remember from his astronomy course in undergrad, but it was worth a shot to look in the general direction of it.
