Hi, Miss Sprezzatura

I'm doing pretty well.
How are you?

[please don't feel guilty please don't feel guilty please don't feel guilty please don't feel guilty]

[velluminous]

[ lol! ]

I wanted to apologize. [ that is so notably not an answer, and she only hopes Nessa won't call her out on it ] For what my oni did to you.

[warpweft]

I'm more worried about what she did to you
Miss Zarya said she

[Yeah, can't finish that sentence.]

[velluminous]

I am fine. Please let me apologize.

[warpweft]

[A while passes with no answer.]

[velluminous]

[ on her end, as well. seconds tick by, turn into minutes, and her grip on the phone tightens and tightens, and her heart tightens and tightens, as she waits. just in case Nessa is going to respond first.

and she doesn't. ]

I am difficult woman. I am not good friend and not good teacher, and always my actions are laced with tiefling misfortune. It was never like this before, but this is way it is now. So I am sorry for what I have done to you. One day this dream will be over, and it will not happen again.

[warpweft]

[And.....no response again. The message doesn't even show as Read for a long time, until....]

I apologize for intruding on your private conversation.
Nessa is not ignoring you.
She has not responded because she has fallen unconscious.

[velluminous]

What?

[warpweft]

She has fallen unconscious.
I have been attempting to rouse her. It's not working.

[velluminous]

Who are you?

[velluminous]

Where is she?

[warpweft]

I am the other inside her body.
She is in Echidna.

[velluminous]

[ there is no answer for about two or three minutes. and then— ]

I am outside
