If you have managed to find your way here, then you must have exhausted all other methods of contact by now. My sincerest apologies, but I am a very busy man these days

Isley? I-- that's a much more welcoming message!

[Wait, stop getting distracted.]

I'm being dared to stay away from you for two weeks.

[swordofthenorth]

[His reply comes with some delay; he is in the library with Aizen and had to excuse himself to receive her call in private.]

[Needless to say, he is none too pleased with finding this message awaiting him.]

You're being...what?

[He laughs, but the sound is low and chilling.]

Priscilla, what manner of stupidity has possessed you? To accept such a childish challenge...to what avail, may I ask? Are you attempting to prove yourself to someone?

[yetsleeping]

Well! I haven't actually accepted it.

She just-- she scolded me for the sparring! Because of... awakening. I mean, because of the risk of awakening. ...you, not me. And then she told me I couldn't stay away from you. Which I wasn't even trying to do.

And now there's daring!

[swordofthenorth]

How ridiculous you sound right now. Are you listening to yourself?

[yetsleeping]

...yes. I know I do. She just gets under my skin, and...

Well, she always has.

[...erm.]

I mean Teresa.

[swordofthenorth]

Are you going to accept her challenge, then?

Perhaps try to prove your will is greater than hers?

[yetsleeping]

Ergh. I don't know. I don't want to.

...I have no idea what possible purpose it could serve. Why would someone ask that!

[swordofthenorth]

Clearly she thinks you're incapable. Imagine that.

[yetsleeping]

...you aren't helping.

[swordofthenorth]

Then allow me to.

[He disconnects.]
