Hello. Thank you for calling, and I'm sorry I wasn't here to answer.

I think... yeah, I'm good. It's nice to talk with you, but that got off my blood pusher what I needed to chat about. I don't have any more big surprises right now.

...

Thanks, Namine. I needed to talk with you about this.

[lethechained]

Okay, [ she responded promptly, and it sounded noticeably closer to a relieved sigh than it strictly needed to. No more big surprises was just the answer she'd hoped for. She allowed herself to take that pause to sort her worries away in her mind - at least for the moment - and after Terezi spoke again, ]

I'm glad that you did...! I know that you can make good decisions on your own, but... it's important to me to hear about them, whether I can help you with them or not.

[mindseer]

[Yeah, that was enough surprises for one month. Definitely.]

I can... but it also affects you, and this is definitely the kind of question I want to ask you, to make you part of. It's important that you're involved too, isn't it? So... I'm glad to ask.

Thanks, Naminé.

I... [ She couldn't help herself but to falter (if only briefly), chest tight with a warm feeling of emotion. It was... nice, hearing that she mattered. Having the excuse of it being her duty made it easier not to feel the urge to deflect. ] Yes, I suppose you're right. And-- I'm glad that you want to include me.

[ Mouth warming into a smile, ]

Sure. You know I'll listen to you anytime, no matter what.

[mindseer]

I'll always want to include you, Naminé. Thanks for being there. I'll uhhhh catch you again soon.

[lethechained]

Right. [ She sounds considerably happier than she did when they started the call. Comfortably, ] Talk to you soon...!

[ And with a click, they part ways. Good talk? Good talk. ]
