little of both, I think.

[Maybe more the former than the latter.]

might take us a while to dig out of it. kid seems to think it'll be worth it, though.

[But Yusuke also thinks that lobsters should be painted and not eaten, so. Grain of salt.]

[persistor]

[ Boxer p sure this is 100% literal....... ]

His intuition might surprise you. [ From one artist to another. He's fighting a losing battle probably.

Though— ]

Shouldn't you be helping?

[desistor]

[That's pretty narrow-minded, use your imagination.

Anyway, he has no allies, here. For your information—]

we're in transit. I'm doing my very best impression of a streetlamp, it's pretty hard work.

[persistor]

[ Cue loud groan and smashing her head into the nearest ( soft ) surface ]

Boxer.

[desistor]

[What do you expect from him.]

Red?

[persistor]

[ Fine fuck you two can play at this game ( except not really ).

The message takes a little longer than Immediate, but she eventually settles on a fond— ]

You're impossible.

[desistor]

[Unlike hers, immediately—]

just didn't want you to worry.

[Still doesn't. Help's theoretically on the way, so they're just making use of their spare time productively while they wait. What else could possibly go wrong.]

[persistor]

I'm not worried.

[ She's VERY worried!!!!!!! ]

Did they give an eta?

[desistor]

[Now comes the pause between responses. Then—]

I'll keep you posted.

[That's a "no." Not yet, anyway.]

[persistor]

[ :/ :/ :/

But okay. ]

Good luck with your new duties.

Are you giving them music, too?

[desistor]

[Yeah right. She can't hear him snort, but she's free to imagine it.]

think you're confusing me with someone else.

[Someone like—]

I could put you on speaker.

[persistor]

There's nothing that says you can't do both.

[ attempt 2 the electric boogaloo ]

[desistor]

[You tried.]

there's me, think that already says plenty.

[Have you ever met a singing streetlamp, Red? Particularly a tonedeaf one. Probably not the best use of his time.]

[persistor]

[ I really didn't. ]

I don't let just anyone sing with me. [ In theory. ]

[desistor]

["Let" like she didn't twist his arm until he caved.]

you're real cute.

still not happening. [Yusuke doesn't deserve that.] don't think these caves need the noise.

[persistor]

[ She wouldn't have twisted his arm if he was just anyone!!!!

She notes "caves", makes a face from the other side of the screen. Contemplates whether or not she should comment on it.

... ]

How about when you're back?

[desistor]

[Whoops. Little more context than he'd meant to let slip, but. Too late now. She seems to have moved on from prying to teasing, anyway. So—]

ask me later.

[Is this a dodge? (This is a dodge.)]

probably owe you one for skipping out on you short notice.

[But there's some leverage if you want it, Red.]

[persistor]

[ Dw she'll give him shit for it once he's safe at home. ]

I'm taking that as a yes.

[desistor]

[Don't expect commitment from him, Red.]

don't go getting your hopes up. still waiting on that eta.

[Could be back in the middle of the night for all she knows.]

[persistor]

I don't mind waiting.

[ Sleeping's for nerds when SPITE IS ON YOUR SIDE. ]

[desistor]

you never do.

[He'll make this gross again if she won't. After a beat—]

leave the light on. I'll try not to keep you.

[persistor]

[ Finally, finally letting herself say the thing she's wanted to say the entire time— ] Stay safe.

[desistor]

no problem. cross my heart.

[And hope to—well. Maybe not that.]
