[glyphless]

Sure, what is it?

[martelandmany]

Might we speak in person, or are you busy?

[glyphless]

I'm not busy. Do you want to come over here?

[martelandmany]

I'll be there shortly. [Timeskip, and she'll be knocking at your door.]

[glyphless]

[Capell opens the door for her and lets her inside.]

Is everything okay?

[martelandmany]

I'm not sure.

[glyphless]

What's wrong?

[martelandmany]

How long has it been since you and I have seen one another? Or even spoken?

[glyphless]

A while... last time we talked was when I got my voice back.

[martelandmany]

[She's not sure how to continue with this... She knows generally why she wanted to talk to him, but not the exact words to use to get there. So she'll be silent, thoughtful. Give her a minute, she'll figure it out.]

[glyphless]

[He waits for her, head tilted a bit as he looks at her face.]

[martelandmany]

[Softly, trying not to sound too hesitant:] I'm not sure this is working, Capell.

[glyphless]

[Well he wasn't expecting that.] What?

[martelandmany]

We only rarely see one another, let alone get a chance to actually talk... [Oh jeez, don't look like that, she's gonna lose her resolve.]

[glyphless]

[Capell looks down, eyes on the floor. What is he supposed to say?]

So you want.... to end it?

[martelandmany]

No. [...Okay, talking on reflex is a bad idea. She sighs, closing her eyes a moment.] I miss you. I want... what we used to have.
