If it should happen that you've been presented with this recording, then the likelihood that my availability would allow me to attend to your message is quite thoroughly absent. Luckily, you are fully capable of leaving your own recording in reply to this one, and should I not find myself so busy in the future I may have opportunity to hear it and adopt the appropriate reaction. Of course, there's only one method you can employ to discover if this duty will be ultimately fulfilled, so there's little need to waste time avoiding it. Mind the beep.

I'm en route. Should be home in a day or so.

I hope you made it out of there alright. [ she;s lucky she managed to get these gloves to hide her own bandages. would be really nice to have her powers back. ]

[withamask]

I did. [ Relatively. ] And you?

[glowsferatu]

Oh, you know. Nothing terribly dire. [ at least nothing that won't be gone once the good ol' healing factor kicks back in. ]

Were you just calling to check in, then?

[withamask]

Yes. Give me a call when you return to the City, okay?

[glowsferatu]

You're certain of that? You didn't want to talk about anything else?

[ god renee why so cagey ]

[withamask]

[ gosh kanaya you're not her mom!!! ]

That's right. [ Slight annoyance slips into her voice. ]

[glowsferatu]

[ she'd be tempted to say the same thing if she were slightly less aware of how it would sound. more than that, she's surprised at how defensive renee seems all of a sudden. ]

And I'm supposed to find nothing weird about that?

[withamask]

[ i'm sorry for her ]

[ Silence, and then a sigh. ]

A lot's happened.

[glowsferatu]

[ she lets out a sigh. ]

Maybe I should officially welcome you to the City, then.

So, would you like to do this now, or would you prefer to wait until we can make the method more direct? I could make you some tea. Not doing it any way whatsoever isn't an option, so don't bother trying for the third.

[withamask]

I don't get a say in this? [ After a pause, the irritation in her tone softens. ]

Maybe later. Just focus on coming back safely for now.

[glowsferatu]

[ this is what she does, renee. she takes care of everyone no matter how much they protest, as long as they aren't herself. ]

Mm, so it will be in person, then. I'll call when my bus is in.

[withamask]

I said maybe.

[ Another sigh. ]

Talk to you later.

[glowsferatu]

I wouldn't count on the uncertainty you're trying to cast it with.

I'll be in touch. [ and she hangs up before renee can argue the point further. ]
