"This is Dinah Lance! Leave a number or text and I'll probably get back to you as soon as I'm done texting or talking to whoever I'm on the phone with right this very second."
She'd tossed the entire tent... literally, since she'd had to pack the tent itself too, and couldn't find it ANYWHERE and Momoko was very close to panicking. Hopefully Dinah would pick up the phone?
"I didn't lose them! They're just... not here!!!" She glanced over at her bag, ready for her to wear for her 'march' south. "I looked EVERYwhere..."
One of Karla's guards approached her. "Lady? This was turned in with your recent reports. I was asked to return it to you."
Momoko nearly screamed when she opened the folder he handed her. "OH THANK GOODNESS!" Okay, she did scream. Sorry Dinah.
"Found them." Her voice was back to normal as she clutched the folder to her chest. SO RELIEVED! Now she was able to have a normal conversation again and stop terrorizing the whole camp.
"I slept last night!" A whole, what, 5 hours? "But I'm marching out today so I was packing and it was missing. I should totally send these to someone to hold, huh? So they don't get destroyed or something. Ms Barbara might not make me a new set..."
She squeezed the folder tighter; it was her key to moving to El Paso in a few weeks! Or at least not getting arrested and stuff for living there illegally.
"So, how's the island? Priestly make you anything yummy yet?"
Dinah snicker-snorted. "And yes, definitely. I mean, what if we get in a fire-fight, and they get-- fired? Send them to Jaime, maybe?"
Heee. Look. If you were being manipulated by forces you didn't even notice, you might want to mess with people a little too.
"... and no." Dinah sounded mournful. Then hastily added, "Not that he has to! It might be his hobby and his job and his vocation, but he's not, you know, required to do that by contract or something."
Still. Totally aside from the food itself being yummy? That's how he showed he cared.
"Probably? I think it's called catering." Dinah grinned a little. "Which, Priestly doesn't have to cater to me. But I'd like it a lot better if he wasn't randomly calling me 'babe' like, like. I dunno."
"You know, with not wanting to talk about his feelings, or being touched, and... but he's better now! And he still really really cares." Dinah paused to rub her head. "But I'm worried about Priestly, he just seems-- off."
"Come on come on, PICK UuuuuuUUUUUuuuP!"

"And of course he's not required to do that, but Priestly always makes you special food. He loves you. He even named a sandwich after you!"
...
"Is there a contract you can get to have someone make you food? Because I know a few people I need that for."

"And if I recall, he wasn't too keen on working on his issues before. Why now? And what do s that have to do with you; weren't his issues back home?"
