[The video/audio feed comes on, and Oliver's face is framed in the screen, ears stuck to the sides]

Er. Hallu. Again. [Oliver blushes a little

OH GOD THE PLANTS.

Please tell me you have a knife. Or some way to get it off you.

[feline_sonata]

...er.

I do! I en't stupid! It's in the boot that is all wrapped up.

[bloodseal_soul]

Can you still get to the knife? You need to cut it off you!

[feline_sonata]

[A little noise]

No. I don't think I can. Last time I tried, it tightened up en more and grabbed for my arm.

That's kind of the problem...I'm a little...stuck, Al.

[bloodseal_soul]

[Al's voice turns softer.]

All right, it's okay. Just stay still, all right?

Arro is coming? Good, he's closer than me. He's a little odd, but he's trustworthy.

[feline_sonata]

A...Arro? Is that his name? Okay. I...I'm trying.

Anything I can add to my list for you?

[bloodseal_soul]

Yep.

Classical. Lullabys... and the piano is my favorite instrument to listen to.

... do you know the song, "Lullaby for a Stormy Night"?

[feline_sonata]

O...okay. I'll add it all.

I can play it. But you don't want me to sing.

[bloodseal_soul]

It would be enough just to hear it again. My mind can fill in the words.

My mother used to sing it to me.

[feline_sonata]

Mum taught me. You like lullabies?

[a soft hiccup]

[bloodseal_soul]

... yeah. They're relaxing.

[Al is silent, but then he takes the PCD and pulls it closer to his face, resting his chin on the desk he's sitting at.]

Want me to hum you one? It might help.

[feline_sonata]

Yeah.

[another hiccup]

Would you?

[bloodseal_soul]

[Alphonse nods. After thinking a long moment, he begins to hum gently. He has a good voice, not too deep, not too high.]

[feline_sonata]

[is quiet, except for breathing that is very controlled, as he listens]

[bloodseal_soul]

I hope that helped a little, maybe?

[feline_sonata]

[Ollie nods a little]

Y...yeah.

Thanks.
