IC CONTACT

...this is the neatest thing I've ever seen. I want one for home so bad.

-Right! This is Sorey, please leave me a message so I can get back to you!

Did you not see the post about the child who's on the Pathstone now.

Wh-

[THAT'S-] Natalie is Opal? I didn't know! I- I've been looking after her, she's okay...I just thought she was a new passenger who got moved around in a weird way.

Yes. That's her. I will explain name shit later. Just... Please look after her? I'm in the clinic still.

[why is this my life, sorey. help.]

And I don't think she'd be able to see Seraphim like this, so please don't freak her out too much.

Mm, don't worry. Just concentrate on getting better, I'll make sure she's okay.

Thank you.

And I'm sorry if she starts asking awkward questions. I am not good at hiding things.

Awkward questions about wh- [Oh. Oh dear.] ...you should know that lying isn't exactly...I'm not really all that good at it either...

You're better than me right now?

If you say so. [Sorey sincerely doubts it, but he'll just go quiet or tell Opal he doesn't know. Because he probably doesn't.] Is there something you want me to avoid telling her?

... Probably best to avoid the 'you have a girlfriend in the future and she's in the hospital' talk. Or that she's older normally at all.

Yeah, don't worry about that one. I doubt she'll ask me anyway.

I hope not. Turning into a child is bad enough, existential crises make it even worse.

Yeah no, she doesn't need that kind of grief. I've never looked after a child before, but I think I can handle it. [probably]

If you can't, call me and I'll see if I can help?

[THIS IS A BAD IDEA]

You got it.

...want me to call you even if I don't need help? [since this is her girlfriend and all]

... Maybe? If it would help? But I might say something stupid.

I'll call you when she's not around. Don't worry about it. [seriously don't worry about anything, you should be doing the opposite of that in a hospital]

My girlfriend is like six years old I'm worrying about it.

[FAILED STEP ONE]

...okay, that's fair. What I mean is, don't worry about her being safe. Everything else can be figured out once you're well. So, try to concentrate on resting, and when you're out of the clinic we can pool our resources and figure this out.

Right.

... Thanks. For all of this help.

You don't need to thank me. This is just what people do.

Accept my thanks or I will hit you with my staff again.

I mean, you are all the way over there...

I won't be here forever.

Will you even remember this conversation later, though? You're on a lot of pain medication... [yeah teasing is a lot better than her being worried and him being depressed, let's stick with this instead]

I don't forget things. Except by bullshit magic amnesia.

[... Normally, anyway. It's still up in the air whether or not she'll remember this in particular.]
