"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?!"

Subtle...? Will you?

[He thinks he can handle that... probably... but.] Ah, I don't want to discourage you from being honest and speaking your mind, though...

action;

[bloodandblunder]

Well, I'm used to being tactful, so I don't say the wrong thing and infuriate anyone... so it shouldn't be that hard. And it's still... mostly honesty.

action;

[particularity]

Mostly honesty, huh... Well, okay. Give it your best shot, Noire.

action;

[bloodandblunder]

N-not right now, though... that sort of took a lot out of me.

[ stupidly frail? Stupidly frail. ]

action;

[particularity]

... [Pff--] Yeah. Of course. There's no rush anyway, right?

action;

[bloodandblunder]

... Right! Since you're not going anywhere until you heal.

action;

[particularity]

Ah...

[TRAPPED BY THE WELL-MEANING INTENTIONS OF HIS FRIENDS...] Yeah. But I think I should be able to see fine by tomorrow, at least.

action;

[bloodandblunder]

If you sleep early, that might help, too. Your body's been through a lot.

action;

[particularity]

I had a little rest earlier... But you're right. I'll sleep earlier. But I don't stay up too late usually anyway.

[no one can say much for haven's nightlife]

action;

[bloodandblunder]

That's good... just in case something awful happens in the middle of the night, you'll be rested enough!

[ Haven has not helped her. ]

action;

[particularity]

...I really hope something just doesn't. In the middle of the day is bad enough.

action;

[bloodandblunder]

Mother did always say the night was best for nefarious and malevolent forces...

action;

[particularity]

Nefarious and malevolent forces have to sleep sometime too, right? They should just... sleep at night too. And let us sleep.

action;

[bloodandblunder]

I think there's a talisman for that, too... I'll see what I can do?

action;

[particularity]

There's a-- huh. [Well.] Okay?

action;

[bloodandblunder]

... Is it that surprising?

action;

[particularity]

Sort of. Talismans are pretty versatile, huh?

action;

[bloodandblunder]

About as versatile as curses. It's just nice to have an extra level of comfort.

action;

[particularity]

Can curses do good things? Or just, er, bad?

action;

[bloodandblunder]

That depends! If you curse someone's ailments, then it really does help.

action;

[particularity]

So, a negative cancelling a negative... That's pretty interesting.

action;

[bloodandblunder]

Curses can be very useful, but of course... they're not usually used to help anyone out.

action;

[particularity]

Yeah. When you think about a curse, you never immediately think of something good...

action;

[bloodandblunder]

You think more of eternal suffering, don't you?

action;

[particularity]

Exactly. Or growing limbs in odd places and other stuff like that...
