[Kairi reappears over the screen, after a good month, looked slightly irked.]

Wow, this is some crazy spring, huh? [Sigh.] Yeah... I was asleep again. If someone could fill me in, I'd really appreciate it.

Just everything going completely round the twist, as always. You didn't miss that much, darling.

Have a good nap?

[Voice]

[royalseashells]

[And she's already feeling better. There's a smile to her voice.] I figured. Thanks, Draco.

Oh, you know... same as always. How've you been?

[Voice]

[mudbloodhater]

[the fact that she sounds so cheerful makes him smile too. Besides his light tone, there's a faint, inconstant waver to his voice suggesting he's rather less well than he might indicate. But he's not going to talk about it.]

I could be better. I ended up incidentally missing someone's birthday yesterday; thankfully, she's more than willing to let me off the hook.

[Voice]

[royalseashells]

[As per usual?]

I think being only a day late is okay. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Whose birthday was it?

[Voice]

[mudbloodhater]

[pretty much. This has driven him to not talking to people for days.]

Alice's. [then, belatedly:] The littlest one. Merlin, she's...nine, I believe.

[Voice]

[royalseashells]

[Cue look of surprise!] Oh, no... really? That means I missed it! Shoot... I'll have to think of something.

[And she remembers herself:] Ah, hmm. Like I said, I wouldn't worry about it. She's so sweet. There's no way she'd hold it against you.

[Voice]

[mudbloodhater]

We could always give her a surprise together, if you liked. If it would be easier. [a light chuckle.]

[Voice]

[royalseashells]

Yeah, good idea! That makes more sense. Hmm...

[Voice]

[mudbloodhater]

As I understand it, her party will be this weekend. That gives us a little while to think of something.

[Voice]

[royalseashells]

Alright. We'll think of something!

[Voice]

[mudbloodhater]

I've every faith in us.
