[ Hey how do you like repeated aborted phone calls? Don't you just love them? It takes four times before you get this message. Though Ella's voice is a bit ... off. ]

Are you okay...?

[voice] cowboy_newsie January 18 2011, 16:26:48 UTC

[He calls back a moment later]

Ella? Ella, I'm fine. What's wrong?

[voice] of_frell January 18 2011, 19:53:30 UTC

... [ A low, relieved sigh. Thank. God. ]

Good. ..and nothing is wrong. I... just wanted to check up on you...and see how you were doing.

[voice] cowboy_newsie January 18 2011, 21:11:02 UTC

You sound upset.

[voice] of_frell January 18 2011, 21:25:58 UTC

... Do I? ... W-well, I'm not upset.

[voice] cowboy_newsie January 18 2011, 21:31:56 UTC

[Pause, and then he says carefully:]

You have magic in your world, right? Well, I don't. So maybe you could tell me how this'd work. It's been botherin' me.

Let's say this girl's forced-- bound-- not to tell someone else somethin' by magic. Can't say this one guy's name, even though she wants to. But the other person really wants to know. If he guessed at the guy's name, could she tell him? Or-- or give him some kinda signal to know he hit the mark?

[voice] of_frell January 18 2011, 21:39:19 UTC

You know someone like that?

Um. [ A faint sigh, clearing her throat. ] It would ...depend on how the spell was worded. Most have loopholes so ... if he worded it like that.. if he specifically said, 'You are bound to not say my name.' or something similar...

[ Another pause. ] If the other person guessed it, yeah. She would be working within the guideline of the spell since she wouldn't technically be saying anything.

[voice] cowboy_newsie January 18 2011, 22:08:58 UTC

So-- let's say I brought up Yaha. Would that be-- [Pause, as he tries to think of a tricky way to word this.] interestin' to you?

[voice] of_frell January 18 2011, 22:15:06 UTC

[ And now she's just confused. ]

No. Why? Who's Yaha?

[voice] cowboy_newsie January 18 2011, 22:16:56 UTC

[There may or may not be a tiny groan in the background.]

To hell with this. I hate bein' subtle. Look, I'm-- pretty sure you's bound by magic not to say who's hurtin' you. And I'm tryin' to guess who.

[voice] of_frell January 18 2011, 22:20:03 UTC

... Y... why would you think that? I mean I'm not - no one's hurting me, didn't I tell you before? [ Ignore the panic, if you'd be so kind. ]

[voice] cowboy_newsie January 18 2011, 22:23:35 UTC

Because you're-- you act funny. You won't tell me what's wrong and I know somebody's hurtin' you, Ella, I know what people sound like when they's bein' attacked and won't tell anyone. And Robin talked to me a while, and-- that's what we figure.

[voice] of_frell January 18 2011, 22:51:34 UTC

[ A sharp breath taken. ] Gods.

You spoke to Robin? [ So betrayed. She -- okay she didn't say she wouldn't but Ella told her not to tell anyone! ]

[voice] cowboy_newsie January 18 2011, 22:52:57 UTC

Look, don't blame her. We's both worried about you.

[voice] of_frell January 18 2011, 23:06:10 UTC

[ .. okay so she won't. :< ]

You should be more worried about yourselves. I should never have even said anything.

[voice] cowboy_newsie January 18 2011, 23:07:33 UTC

Don't be stupid, I can't be hurt and she's smart enough to hide if trouble comes. I ain't gonna leave you to get hurt by whoever it is.
