"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?!"

[ BEEP. ]

Y-yeah, they really don't... I'm pretty sure.

I mean, of course there're some people who believe they work and who practice that kind of stuff seriously, but... My world's not that kind of supernatural place? I think.

[No matter how actually ridiculous his world may be in retrospect... SHSL talents and so on.]

[bloodandblunder]

I can't imagine a world without magic in it... but a place without actual curses and hexes would be nice.

action;

[particularity]

And I have a hard time imagining a world with magic in it... though Haven makes it slightly easier to imagine.

[He grins a bit.] Maybe one day in your world there won't be as much as a need for them... maybe.

[ That makes her giggle, sorry. ] I don't know what Mother would do with her spare time if that happened.

action;

[particularity]

Maybe take up a nice safe hobby instead...

action;

[bloodandblunder]

She was actually very good at baking, now that I think about it.

action;

[particularity]

That's... an impressive range of talents.

action;

[bloodandblunder]

Isn't it? Mother really is amazing!

[ proud of her when she isn't scared of her, y e p. ]

[particularity]

[IT'S KINDA CUTE wahh.]

As long as she doesn't start mixing, er, curses and baking...

action;

[bloodandblunder]

... That might be really effective, actually! Lower someone's guard with confections, and then as soon as they swallow...

action;

[particularity]

Th-that's... Well, yeah, but I'm gonna say not to give her that idea.

action;

[bloodandblunder]

You... might have a point. There's no guarantee--

... No, there's absolutely a guarantee that she'd try it on me first.

action;

[particularity]

[...I think I really don't understand their family dynamic sometimes.]

Y-yeah... She doesn't need any new things to try on you.

action;

[bloodandblunder]

... Sorry... this isn't a very good topic for recovery, is it?

action;

[particularity]

Eh? No-- I don't mind. I mean, it's gotten my mind off of things.

[So he is quite grateful. No matter the topic, really.]

action;

[bloodandblunder]

... Oh! So it surprisingly helped!

action;

[particularity]

[You don't need to add 'surprisingly'...]

Y-yeah... I mean. It's talking with you, so of course it helps.

action;

[bloodandblunder]

You say that, but I'm really not the best conversationalist!

action;

[particularity]

[Hinata shakes his head-- only slightly, as his head pangs yet, sharp aches behind his eyes.]

I like talking with you, Noire. Just being around you. [A moment and he adds, a little embarrassed to say it but saying it nevertheless,] Sometimes it's just nice to have a friend close by.

action;

[bloodandblunder]

[ Hinata, what did we say about making her blush-- ]

Well, I can't say I don't know how that feels... this makes me feel better, too.

action;

[particularity]

[Hinata seems pleased at this, as pleased as one can look with watery eyes and an awful pallor. But hey his spirits are certainly restored, for now. He'll mull and angst over things later in bed. As he tends to be wont to do.]

Yeah? Then... I'm glad.
