That's right. [The doll does fly over to land in Light's hands, though it's at a mental nudge from Natori and not anything Light does.] Hold it in your hand with the intention of sending it back to me and it will take off. It's still a piece of paper, so don't let it get too wet, but otherwise the spell isn't going to wear off any time soon.

[Like a showoff, he holds his hand out flat in front of him as a landing site. In a flurry like a flock of birds taking off, another group of dolls fly out of the bag and settle neatly onto his palm.] They can locate people for me if I know their face, [and so he can send more back to Light if need be] but that's a little too complex for anyone else to do without training.

[godly]

[What a showoff, indeed. The flurry of paper dolls settling into Natori's palm is quite a sight, and Light wishes that they were all in possession of some such useful talent.

Lightly, he pinches his paper doll between forefinger and thumb. Can he fold this up? Surely he can; no need to anthropomorphize it.]

All right. Hopefully, there's no need to act so clandestinely any time soon, but just in case... I'll keep it close.

[And the logbook, too.]

I'll keep you up to date with any new developments. I'd request that you do the same with me if you don't mind.

[paperpusher]

Of course. On my end, that includes any signs that-- [he makes a gesture towards the book, and though he knows Light can't see it the traces of fog that still linger near him as well.] --that's breaking out or getting stronger. I'll give the others with similar powers to mine a heads up of what to look out for, but it's like I mentioned the last time: bad dreams, undefined weakness, things like that.

And don't hesitate to use the doll; I can always send you another one.

[godly]

[He nods. He'll take note of the state of his dreams, and whether or not they abate going forward.]

I will. Don't worry.

...And thank you again for all of your help. It really has been invaluable. [High praise from one Light Yagami.] I won't keep you any longer, but you're always welcome to stay or drop by if you need anything.

[paperpusher]

It's no trouble. I'd offer you the same, but the cottage where I'm staying is significantly less suited for hosting guests. [He takes one last sardonic look around this living room that is much nicer than the couch he's been crashing on, before he remembers the state of it that he left behind.] ...Oh. I guess I should help clean up.

[As much of a showoff as he may be, gathering up the stray pages from the seal would use a little too much energy that he doesn't want to spare right now if he did it in any way but by hand, so: after a second, he bends down to start collecting leftover pieces of paper.]
