"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?!"

Yes... so let's continue to work hard!

[ QUIET DETERMINATION GOOOOOO. ]

[intendance]

[And Morgan just nods, smiling brightly.]

Yes! ...Aaaanyway, I just wanted to let you know. To be honest, I was just so excited I couldn't keep it in, too...! But that's just me.

[bloodandblunder]

No, I understand... [ with a smile of her own. ]

Thank you-- for telling me.

[intendance]

Of course! I mean, you're my best friend! You're the first person I wanted to tell!

...And you told me about Morgan, so fair's fair.

[bloodandblunder]

I couldn't not tell you about Morgan; you're important to the both of us.

video;

[intendance]

Ahahaha! I suppose it would've been a little strange to not hear about it, all things considered.

[hahaha no that would've been beyond strange.]

video;

[bloodandblunder]

Like you said... we're best friends. No matter who it was, I would have told you.

video;

[intendance]

I know you would have! And I would have always shared this with you, no matter what!

[Besties, after all.]

I want you to know everything, after all!

video;

[bloodandblunder]

Er-- um, you know there are some things that should just be between you and Oz...

video;

[intendance]

.... ... .... ... ...........

Whoa, Noire, I didn't know that you and Morgan were already thinking about those sorts of things!

video;

[bloodandblunder]

That's--!! [ ... quite the yelp, Noire. ] W-w-we're not! Not exactly!! It's just-- I mean, I didn't know he could kiss like-- no, it's nothing!!

[...]

Part of me wants to hear how you were going to finish that metaphor, but part of me really, really doesn't.

[...huh.]

video;

[bloodandblunder]

It's... probably better to just let it drop. Please.

video;

[intendance]

Oh, all right!

[a p a u s e.

... ... ... ]

So that turned way more sordid than I was expecting it to when I called.

video;

[bloodandblunder]

I'm sorry-- um, really, I'm very happy for you! And I'll make sure to congratulate Oz when I see him.

video;

[intendance]

Ha ha ha! You should! He makes the most adorable blushing faces when he thinks too hard about it.

It's great!

[good...girlfriend....]

video;

[bloodandblunder]

... You two really are alike. [ Poor Oz. ]

video;

[intendance]

Eh? Did Morgan say that too?

[...a thoughtful pause.]

Well, he's right! You do have adorable blushing faces!

video;

[bloodandblunder]

I-I don't! You could at least hesitate a little!

video;

[intendance]

But it's the truth! Why would I do that?

[honestly, Noire. Embrace your fate.]

And if two Morgans think so, that's double the truth, especially about cuteness!

video;

[bloodandblunder]

But it's still incredibly embarrassing... I don't ever know how to respond to it.

video;

[intendance]

Hmm... you should respond like--

"Thanks, Morgan! I'm glad you think I'm so cute, because I think you're really handsome and cute too!"

... Er, that's to the other Morgan, not to me.

video;

[bloodandblunder]

I-I did say that, but-- he's a lot better at handling it than I am...

video;

[intendance]

You did?

[Color her surprised.]

Whoaaa, that's incredible! A bit like getting the last piece of food at the Shepherd's breakfast line! I wouldn't have guessed that at all!

video;

[bloodandblunder]

B-because I don't think a compliment should go unreturned--!
