[because really, whether the message self-deletes or not, this is true, and if anyone could get it to... well, it has to be Rei, doesn't it. (well no, there are plenty of people who probably could, but in Olivine's eyes?) it's still a long path back up the stairs and to the elevator—which he's still wary of, for more reasons even than the mechanical nature of them. still, it's a lot less time going up than taking all of the stairs, and even if he weren't just excited to see that Rei is apparently here now, he wouldn't keep the man waiting that long.
the ding of the elevator is pleasant, and it really is an oppressively obvious difference between the lower and upper floors. sure, he'd seen it a little in Eiden and Zoro's rooms, but even so... the Kings floor is a whole other level. for a moment, he's sure he's in the wrong spot altogether.
but there's the room number, and in spite of any touch of trepidation, he's more than willing to trust Rei not to lead him astray. they haven't known each other all that long, but that's not the point. anyway! his knock is firm and sharp, weight shifting comfortably enough as he waits.]
