642 Hastings Boulevard

[Early in the morning, about 4 in the morning of the 15th, Sollux quietly walks into his house, closing the door behind him slowly. He hopes that returning home at 4 in the morning means that no one is awake and he can sneek in without getting caught...]

Phone, later in the dayI'm sure some of you noticed that I've been

Where the shell have you been, Sollux? You had Aradia and I worried sick!

[a1a100]

I've been busy with some personal things. I'm sorry that I made you guys worried but it was something I needed to do.

[dreambubbly]

What kind of personal things would mean you were gone for two days?! I think I made it pretty clear that it's dangerous to disappear right now.

...why do I have a terribubble feeling about this?

[a1a1000]

I want to tell you but I can't. I promise you that I'm alright, I'm safe and sound and nothing is different.

[dreambubbly]

That doesn't help...I'm still worried. Reely worried. Please tell me you didn't go self-sacrificing because I swear to cod I will go after her...

[a1a1000]

If I went off self-sacrificing, I wouldn't be here.

[dreambubbly]

Not necessarily. Not if you're 'useful'.

[a1a1000]

I can't tell you what I did but I can tell you what I didn't do and I didn't go talk to the Condesce.

[He feels absolutely terrible for lying but it's for the best]

[dreambubbly]

...I...I want to believe that but my gut feeling says no.

[a1a1000]

I promise you that I didn't go anywhere near her. Please, don't go after her or anything.

[If you confront her about this, you'll all be in a lot of trouble]

[dreambubbly]

All right. If you promise...

[Why is her stomach still twisted in knots, then?]

[a1a1000]

I do.

[Ugh he feels terrible]

...do you... want to come over or anything?

[time to do the moiraily thing]

[dreambubbly]

Yeah. I do.

[There's a shaky, shaky breath from her.]

I'll be over in a bit.

[a1a1000]

Alright.

[He hangs up and waits by the door for her.]

[She knocks once, lets herself in, then pulls him into a crushing hug.]

I swear, if you ever scare me like that again...
