...I am... ((swallowing sound)) ...very unwell at present...

I don't believe that I shall be... ((Sharp hiss of discomfort.)) ...going out

1/2 This does not exist so much, you have no idea.

[primrosella]

Cain?! What--where are you, what's wrong, you sound--

...But you won't, you're not going to let me help, even if I try, will you--even if you need it, you'll just tell me to go away, even if--I don't even know what's wrong, but it must be bad and whenever there's something wrong you always get withdrawn and snappish and make me--oh, drat it all!

But this one does!

[primrosella]

Are you all right? No, that's a ridiculous question, of course he's not all ri

Is there anything I can do?

[misterblackbird]

Rosella.

No, thank you. It's only a curse. I'll be all right.

[primrosella]

You sound awful like you need help rather unwell. Is someone looking after you, at least?

[misterblackbird]

I'm not feeling well, but I will be all right.

I'm capable of looking after myself.

[primrosella]

I'm...glad to hear that. That you'll be all right, that is, not that you're not feeling well.

Well. Um. I suppose I ought to just...leave you alone and let you look after yourself, then.

[misterblackbird]

Yes, I think I understood what you meant.

Thank you. I'm sorry I'm not much for conversation today.

[primrosella]

Just be all right.

I'll look forward to hearing from you after the curse is over, then.

[misterblackbird]

And I'll look forward to speaking to you, too.
