"H... hello? Um, this is me-- ah, Noire! I'm Noire, and I'm very sorry for missing you somehow... I promise I'm not avoiding you, unless you're scary or you're Mo-- trying to curse me. U-um, so when I can figure out how to-- ( beeps ensue, followed by a shriek of fright ) O-oh, no! What did I push, how do I-- make it-- oh gods, did I break it?! W-why can't we just talk in person?!"
As it is, Noire is trying to make reassuring noises into the phone up until he flings the door open. So she'll hang up, still in her bed, pale and sort of pained-looking... but alive and not writhing on the floor or something. ]
[ The scar's hidden beneath her clothing, so he won't be seeing any traumatic-looking wounds. But when she shifts further, trying to sit up, she winces and clutches at her stomach. ]
[ He smiles in return, and also because compliance is good. When she looks like she's steady enough, he scurries away to fetch some of that water. A moment as he finds a container to steal, followed by blissful silence as he trots out to the well.
...
Aaand then he's back. He sets the filled container down and waters a cup with it, then hands off to Noire. ]
[ The wondering was the worst part... Even if she's clearly in some pain, he's relieved to see her in the flesh again. He sits cross-legged by her bed. ]
Could you explain more about what happened? If it's not too soon, that is.
I don't know how, but what that note talked about-- it happened to me, and some other people... without warning. We found ourselves in a room full of statues... and, um. It became troublesome very quickly.
So that part really was true! It sounded strange, but I guess there's no ruling anything out in Haven.
[ And then, if he remembers the note correctly, the statues would have forced them to relive their deaths. He won't ask her about that, but... bringing people back from the dead? Non-Risen-style? ]
... I see... Well, I hope it wasn't all for naught. It doesn't seem very fair for you to have gotten sucked into that when you don't even know who you were there for.
Mm... no. [ And she sighs a little, gaze turning distant, for all that she's staring down into her cup. ] I might have been more help if I'd remembered that note before someone had to die.
... If nothing else, I hope everyone else is all right now.

Noire! Hold on, Noire!
[ Guess who's taking advantage of the fact that they live 30 yards apart
enjoy lots of friction-y noises, wind, and sounds of footfalls coming through the phone until it manifests directly outside Noire's bedroom--
WHOOSH her door flies open. ]
Are you all right?!

Thank you... [ at least her throat feels a little better now. ] I didn't mean to worry you so badly.

It's a good thing you remember at all! But who else was with you if not Morgan or Gerome?

He doesn't seem like the dying type. I bet he's performing some amazing and startlingly unlikely acrobatic feat right this moment.
