audio

[pyralisit]

[Just audio from Cal this time. Short, sweet, and to the point. He's not up to much else after the conversation he just had with Flick. But he has a question, and he needs an answer. At least he's trying.]

If I had a question, how responsive are these so-called gods?


[Private | Pell]

[A few moments later, he sends another audio message, directly to Pell and no one else.]

I won’t be coming home for the next few days. Ask Flick why. He needs me to not be there for a while. He probably needs you too.

...I’m sorry.

How cruel of you. I don't even get a warning?

Re: [ private ]

[pellameno]

If I warn you of someone, it'll be for their sake. Like Will is quite shy, so don't overwhelm him.

Re: [ private ]

[pyralisit]

I'll do my best. I'm sure you'll hear of it if I'm not gentle.

Re: [ private ]

[pellameno]

Maybe, maybe not. He keeps a lot to himself.

[pyralisit]

Then you might need to introduce us.

Re: [ private ]

[pellameno]

Not now, obviously, if you won't even tell me where you're going.

Re: [ private ]

[pyralisit]

Pell... [Sigh] You're not going to give that up, are you?

Re: [ private ]

[pellameno]

Did you expect that I would? No, I'm not. I'm making much less fuss about it than I want to, so don't complain.

You'd better keep your phone on, at least.

Re: [ private ]

[pyralisit]

No, I suppose I didn't. [Really, he'd expected that.] Thank you for that.

I will. It's not as if I'm vanishing forever.

I love you. You know that, right?

Re: [ private ]

[pellameno]

It feels like you might, I'm not looking forward to being alone tonight. But of course I know.

Re: [ private ]

[pyralisit]

Good. Just...let him have a few days without me. I'll come back to you.

Re: [ private ]

[pellameno]

Just a few days. Then I'm going Cal hunting.

Re: [ private ]

[pyralisit]

Try not to hurt it too much?

Re: [ private ]

[pellameno]

Humane traps only.

Re: [ private ]

[pyralisit]

He'll appreciate it, I'm sure.

Re: [ private ]

[pellameno]

I hope so, I intend to keep him.

Re: [ private ]

[pyralisit]

Forever, I hope.

Re: [ private ]

[pellameno]

If he'll stay.

Re: [ private ]

[pyralisit]

He will. Never worry about that.

Re: [ private ]

[pellameno]

I can't help it, sometimes.

Re: [ private ]

[pyralisit]

I know. I'm sorry for it.

Re: [ private ]

[pellameno]

Don't be. It's for the right reasons.

Re: [ private ]

[pyralisit]

If only everyhar could think like you.

Re: [ private ]

[pellameno]

It'd be a very different world, that's for sure.

Re: [ private ]

[pyralisit]

Better, probably. Fewer beasts, at least.
