isn't this incredible

i don't even have to be in your head to say hi

ZAMBIA

ZEALOUS

WAIT ONE MINUET

dinosau r

you doing okay there, sorey?

Yup I'm okay now! I was getting chased by a pack of raptors.

BUT ZAVEID!!! You're here! Are you all right? Not hurt, not around too much malevolence...?

Maybe you shouldn't go around sending people messages while you're being chased? Are they hellions or something?

I'm fine, Sorey, don't go worrying about me. Just stuck on this tin can for a while.

No no, just regular animals. Can I call? I'd feel much better if I could hear your voice!

So you just let regular animals chase you, huh?

[oh god

IS HE GOING TO GO THROUGH THIS EVERY TIME........TEARING UP LIKE THIS WHEN HE HEARS HIS SERAPHIM AGAIN.......]

N-no! [sorey stop that, stop it damn you self, you're going to make him worry...!] No, just- I mean, they're um, uh. [takes a deep breath] They're big! They're pretty big, yeah. And sharp.

[ oh ym god oh my GOD??? ]

... Yo, Sorey, you alright there?

I'm okay! I'm really- I'm great! [STOP CRYING GD IT] Um- it's- did you get an explanation yet? About- I mean, I know you probably just saw me but I- I just haven't heard your voice in months...I mean, I haven't seen you in like, almost the same amount of time I've known you and I- Y'know, it's just been a while, so, and...

[ Oh my god - ]

Hey, it's fine. I get it. It's not a long time for me, but it's gotta have been a while for you - and of course you'd miss the great, wonderful Zaveid!

Ah ha. [not untrue but sorey knows what that bluff and bluster is for.] I mean...even if it had been months for you, that's hardly anything, huh? [finally composing himself, god, how embarrassing. thanks for not humiliating him dude]

Time doesn't feel like anything for us seraphim, you're right. It doesn't work the way it does for humans. Still, missing one guy for months? You don't forget that sort of thing. Trust me.

Gramps mentioned something like that once. That at some point you stop measuring your life with numbers and start measuring with milestones and moments.

Your gramps is a smart man, Sorey. He knows what he's talking about!

Speaking of smart, you seem really at ease with this communication device! It took me forever to feel comfortable with writing- uh, with text. You're on the Marvisa now, right?

I just made it type with my voice, it seemed to like that. [ Truth: he kept pressing buttons until something worked, and it was only after he pressed about twenty times that he managed to work out how to talk to Sorey. ] But, yeah, seems like I'm stuck here for now.

Ahhh. I would come get you, but I can't get near that ship. And calling out true names doesn't work if you're too far away.

It's fine, Sorey. I can handle myself for a few days! Besides, it gives you time to celebrate my arrival properly.

What, you want me to set up a spread? Zaveid...I have some really bad news for you.

None of the girls are here.

[ That blows the wind out of his sails a little, but he manages to bring himself back together. ]

Damn. Someone out there must really hate us.

It's... complicated.

[a pause.] I don't want them to come here. I mean, I didn't want any if us to come here either, myself included. But as long as Rose is back home, with someone to keep her safe, I don't have to be as worried. She's strong.

And what happens if Rose comes here without the other two?

[ He can imagine what would happen if Lailah and Edna came and left Rose alone, or if Rose came without the other two. Sorey would lose his mind. ]

Then...hopefully Lailah can find someone else.

People have told me that while we're here, time is frozen. That when we make it back home, it's as if we were never gone. I can't really comprehend something like that, so I'm just trying to reassure myself, really.

You know they'll be fine, right?

[ His voice goes a little quieter. ]

Lailah, Rose... Edna... They're all really strong. If we're gone for a while they'd handle it until we get back.
