[teethofneedles]

[The communicator clicks on and for a few moments the only sounds are the distant rumble of the engines, the faint splashing of the water against the hull and the breeze. Then Karis speaks up, but her voice has lost its usual gravelly undertones, its rasp. She sounds... human, actually.]...you never think about the little stuff. Like the breeze on

[Bryn likes to think she knows Karis well enough to deduce a few things from the change of voice, tone, and subject matter in Karis' post, compared to her usual ones.]

Maybe because you want someone to talk to?

[She pauses.]

Alive again, Karis?

Why the Hell would I want to talk to anyone? All a bunch of Breather scum.

[Beat.]

And yet, here you are breathing just like the rest of us.

[She sits there, grinning at her comm, even if Karis can't see it.]

Let me know if you want to hang out. Can show you that movie thing I was talking about or something.

[Because Karis, Bryn is going to be your friend, despite yourself.]

It also won't be the last time.

[So there.]

Sure, you'll tell me, or sure, now?

Meet me in the library in like...fifteen? I'll get some stuff set up.

You can pick up any food or drinks you want and bring 'em with you, alright?

Right, right... I'll be there.
