[ The feed clicks on to Angela, who has been steeling herself for the past half hour to even switch her PORTAL on. She's sitting on a bench in the city, near a busy grocery that masked patrons bustle in and out of in the background. She avoids looking at the PORTAL itself, more resting it at her knees and looking to the side, at nothing in

[He doesn't look surprised to see her.]

I am pleased to see you have returned. Are you alright?

[witchmaker]

I couldn't stay away from everyone too long. So what's new around here?

[showmeshinies]

Not much has happened.

[She's... oddly cheerful. He frowns.]

Angela, do you feel alright?

[witchmaker]

I guess that makes sense, without me around.

[ Smile! ] I'm fine. Takes a lot to get me down.

[showmeshinies]

[Eyebrow raise.]

Death doesn't get you down?

[witchmaker]

[ Her voice trembles just a little, but her smile doesn't budge. ] Well, I've been through a lot already.

[showmeshinies]

[Good thing his heart doesn't break easily. Still, he manages a look of concern and sympathy.]

I would imagine this is something worse. Do you need anything?

[witchmaker]

[ She is just going to keep up the obnoxious until she convinces herself that she's fine. ]

Oh, don't give me that look. I'm fine, really. Just worried I was out of the loop.

[This is the face of an old person who can spy pretending at 100 paces. It raises the eyebrow even higher, and he manages to still look and sound concerned, despite the expression of disbelief.]

Did it hurt?

[witchmaker]

When I fell from heaven? Nope. [ Turning things into pick-up lines, yep. ]

Really, though. I'm okay. I'm going to be fine.

[showmeshinies]

That's a good one. I'll have to remember it. [No, that's a terrible one.]

If you need something, do not hesitate to ask.

[witchmaker]

Sure thing!

[showmeshinies]

Until later then.
