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

[Pause.]

--Leave a message, please, if you want to.

text, day 59 (aug 6th).

[skittering]

❰ out of the blue, relevant to literally nothing, comes a text: ❱

still here?

[lethechained]

[ -- Ah. Well, it certainly is out of the blue - but given Roxas' relatively recent disappearance, Naminé's not inclined to question it too much. (Save, perhaps, to wonder at being worthy of such a question at all.) ]

Yes. I'm here.

[ Her response doesn't take long to arrive; she's not exceptionally busy these days. Obvious though it might be, she seems to find it worth noting, ]

And you are too.

[ Because asking the same question back would be kind of silly when he's the one messaging her. ]

[skittering]

❰ he doesn't bother to confirm it, for the same reason that it wasn't posed as a question. instead: ❱

good

❰ and that seems like.... literally the entirety of the conversation for a good couple of minutes, but then as an afterthought: ❱

which god's yours?

[lethechained]

[ Inexperienced as she is with text messaging, Naminé is relatively uncertain what the polite thing to do is when there's no further response. Surely he didn't message her only to ask that...? But he doesn't seem to be saying anything else, so she leaves it be long enough to almost get involved with her latest drawing again before the next ping comes in and she pauses, pencil held between her fingers. ]

Sigyn.

[ And since he's asked another thing, her curiosity is properly piqued. Now, it simply cannot be left alone. That question was rather out of the blue as well, so she does her best to extrapolate from two awkwardly placed points of data. (This is probably about as inefficient as it sounds.) ]

Do you need help with something?

[ That's a genuine question; what difference would her chosen deity make otherwise? ]

[skittering]

❰ does he need help? his brow knits, mildly confused. after a moment he says: ❱

just wondered

[lethechained]

Oh.

[ Well, there goes her best guess right out the window. That would have made more sense to her than that someone was curious about her for any other reason. (Here she'd thought for a second that maybe he needed healing, but-- perhaps she needs to unlearn that old habit of expecting to matter only for the sake of her usefulness.) She allows herself a few extra seconds for this to sink in before messaging back, with a far smaller delay than his, ]

Which one's yours?

[ Wondering can go both ways, after all. ]

[skittering]

honir

❰ a moment later it sinks in that she might be asking for the same reason he was, so he clarifies. ❱

not in his housing though. building our own

❰ in case she comes looking for some reason and he's not there. ❱

[lethechained]

[ Now, see, initially she thinks this might be her opening to ask what his opinion of Honir is, since she met him the other day and now she's curious what other people's views on the individual gods are, but-- then Lalli drops that bit of information and she's drawn up short. ]

You can do that?

[ And here she was thinking they were supposed to stay put. ]

[skittering]

have to. it's the only way to sleep outside of your god's domain.

❰ which isn't a huge deal for lalli, but it is a huge deal for the two tyr refugees he's building it for. ❱

[lethechained]

[ Hearing that, she knows there must be a good reason why he's going through such an effort to live somewhere else - although naturally she assumes it might be a cause for concern. Worrywart to the last, this one. ]

Why would you want to?

[skittering]

emil wants to sleep at night. can't do that if he can't stay over at night. won't sleep in tyr. too many people in a room

klaus might get killed if he stays in tyr. got tired of making rune traps to protect him. this is easier

[lethechained]

[ There's... a lot to unpack for such short sentences. She can gather at least that he has friends(?) who require assistance - which is a nice thought, that he's got people who mean so much to him - but, ]

Killed? By who?

[ Definitely doubling down on the distressing, here. ]

[skittering]

that viking

❰ she may have seen ivar's death threats on the network, if she was paying attention. ❱

[lethechained]

[ Sure, she sees a lot of the network's goings on, but unfortunately for both of them, she also has absolutely no idea how to identify such a person. Or that, you know, this fellow was ever on the network at all. ]

Which viking?

[ Honestly Lalli's probably lucky she didn't just ask him what one was to begin with. ]

[skittering]

made a video about how he wants to kill his roommates

[lethechained]

That guy?

[ The knifey guy? Yeah, she remembers him, goodness. Words cannot express how glad she is not to have a roommate like that. ]

I wasn't sure he actually meant it.
Why would he broadcast that sort of thing all over the network if he were really going to do it?

[skittering]

dunno.

stabbed klaus once already though

[lethechained]

What?

[ If she knew how to use itallics, that word would deserve them. She certainly typed it fast enough - faster than she usually does, at least. It could probably use some exclamation points, too, but one must make allowances for her lack of texting expertise. ]

Has anyone done something about it?

[skittering]

i'm building a house

❰ that feels like doing something about it. ❱

[lethechained]

I meant something more immediate

[ She doesn't even remember the period this time, she's too preoccupied. Except then she gets preoccupied about how that's... definitely a Thing which Lalli is doing and by the sound of it it's a good one, so. ]

But maybe moving out is for the best.
You're very kind to look after him that way.

[skittering]

like what? can't fight him

not directly anyway. with magic maybe

don't really want to try

❰ somehow, this girl has successfully engaged him into an actual multi-sentence conversation, what a miracle. ❱

i'm not trying to be kind. just don't want him dead

[lethechained]

I don't think that any of you should fight him.

[ That would definitely not be her first choice for a course of action. Even if they won, it's liable to make things worse in the long run. Honestly she can imagine a lot of things that would only end up being worse in the long run, but then again, optimism has never been her strong suit. ]

Is there nowhere else in Tyr's house that Klaus could stay?
Another room that isn't full maybe.

[ But would that be enough to pacify Knifey McBadRoommate? Naminé has her misgivings, considering his aggression in the first place. ]

Not wanting someone dead is usually pretty nice.
Unless you have some other reason for keeping him alive.

[ Lalli hasn't really struck her as the 'sinister ulterior motives' type. ]

[skittering]

the viking can walk into the other room just as easily.

house is the best plan we've got

[lethechained]

Yes
But he might have fewer reasons to.

[ Honestly that whole thing is one big pit of psychological weirdness. Clearly that guy has some funny ideas about how to keep himself safe - or maybe he's just a sadist, who knows. In any case, Naminé's not informed enough to say anything for certain. That doesn't stop her, however, from mulling the situation over for a few moments. It's sticky, not knowing more. Still, there is one thing she can say for certain. ]

If it happens again
if he gets stabbed or hurt that is
I might be able to help.

[skittering]

help how?

❰ klaus can heal it himself, but lalli asks regardless. call it curiosity. ❱
