The reply comes some four hours later, potentially waking Ichi wherever he may be. His voice is tired yet, which should be little surprise after only a few hours of sleep, but lighter than before.
"You sure you're not just after your sake? Let me know and I can arrange something. Work is routine, at the moment."
He is almost never not working, of course, but there are some things that can be put aside for the sake of a visit.
Ichi wakes with a snort and fishes groggily for the device. At least The Shadow sounds a bit better. The voice that replies is ragged with the sound of having just woken up.
"Whatever works for you, Shadow-san." There's a yawn at the end that's clipped off, but Ichi's awake now, and he's never been one to care if he's awake during night or day.
Hm. I'll stick to tea-" A cough interrupts the message, underscoring the statement. "But I can have sake hot at the apartment in half an hour or less. Same coordinates as before." They are attached again, as an afterthought, just for Ichi's convenience.

A message flashes onto The Shadow's PINpoint only minutes after he's returned home. It's a voice-mail.
"Shadow-san. Get some sleep. Whatever was troubling you will be there when you wake up. If you need the Anma, you know where to find me."

Half an hour later, a minute or so late, Ichi PINpoints into the Rettigue apartment.
