[There's nothing terribly abnormal about this post, other than the sound of Olivier's voice. Those who have come to know her well, children she's tended, and the particularly astute may note that she sounds... hollow ( Read more... )

[Miakis doesn't even bother answering the call, and just walks on over to her sisbro's house. Getting away from Pancake House is a very good thing for her right now.]

Hey~

[It takes Olivier a few long seconds to finish up what she's doing and glance up from her task.

In person, while silent, she seems totally fine.]

Miakis. What can I do for you?

I needed to get out of the damn house, so I thought I'd come give my report in person~... Not that there's much to report. I have my eye on a few people, but I've been... distracted. [She has the grace to look a little sheepish, at least.] Soon, though!

[She goes back to her task.]

Soon isn't good enough.

Yeah, I know. Sorry~... Things have been kinda crazy lately, but I think they're settling down, for the most part. So! Back to work, as usual. I won't let you down~

I don't want to hear any more excuses. We're losing people every single day.

Just get back to me tomorrow.

Will do. [She nods and gives Olivier a sharp salute -- after a moment, she relaxes, and starts to speak carefully. The tone of the other woman's voice on the phone was easily noticeable, and while she seems fine in person... well, Miakis just wants to make sure.]

...How are you?

[Not a FLICKER of anything wrong. She's good at bluffing.]

I'm fine.

[Miakis is almost convinced. ALMOST.]

Just thought I'd make sure~! You sounded... different on the phone. [a beat] Guess my imagination is running wild again~

I haven't been sleeping properly. [It's not entirely true, but it sounds good.]

Ah, I'm jealous! If only I could look half as good when I'm sleep deprived~ [Yeah, she's teasing now. 8D]

......I'm fine, Miakis.

Oh, come on. We're friends, aren't we~?

[Icily:] No. We're not.

It's not your business.

[Ooooh, ice burn. Miakis shows no signs of caring, but you know she is DEEPLY WOUNDED deep down inside.]

Okay, okay, I'll back off. I'm always here if you need anything, though~

[Now, now, Miakis. Olivier's just not the type to easily call anyone a friend. In fact, she'll only claim two, here. Maybe four, if pressed.]

...I appreciate the gesture. I just need time to recover.
