[a pause as he looks at the communicator, and sure enough, it's on]

...

[prodigal_axe]

Er.. that sucks. Didn't realize it had been so long..

[not_a_crybaby]

...Yeah. Guess that happens when you lose track of time and can't think of what to fuckin' say.

[prodigal_axe]

I guess..? That is, it makes sense..

[not_a_crybaby]

Yeah.

...

[prodigal_axe]

..

Yeah. I'm alright.. thanks for askin'.

[not_a_crybaby]

..sounds like it's got its own beauty. Like here. Harsh places--they don't lie, when you look at 'em.

[not_a_crybaby]

If it happens, it happens. Not our call to make.

Sometimes they do.

[prodigal_axe]

I'll make it mine, god damn it.

...you think so?

[not_a_crybaby]

...

Yeah. The desert and heat can mess with your head if you're not careful. Make you see things that aren't really there.

[prodigal_axe]

...

It's the opposite with cold. It kinda wakes your mind up, makes you think.

From what you've all told me, I got a picture in my head of that place. Doesn't mean I want to see you disappear and go back there.

Thought Midvalley had, recently..
