....Okay?

[flameyedhunter]

[ Some noises with the phone are heard, and then, a very deep, and very male voice says. ]

Thank you for being the friend of my ward, Shana. I know she is difficult to deal with but she appreciates your friendship.

[godisachild]

[Well, he's taken off guard by that. Not...really what he expected.]

.....You're welcome?

[flameyedhunter]

I'm glad of that. So you understand... I know what she does. And I've seen people like you before. It is hard, but given mercy and enough people pulling you up, you can aspire to be better.

[flameyedhunter]

[ Shana fiddles with the phone a moment then a very deep voice says, ]

Thank you for befriending my contractor, Shana. I know her life is rather similar to yours, and I would like to offer my appreciation, she has very few friends who can understand her life.

[flameyedhunter]

Would you like me to repeat myself, or was there some point in particular you had a question about, Tohsaka-san?

[Wow this is so weird who actually calls her.] ... alright then.

[flameyedhunter]

[ A deep voice booms into the phone. ]

I apologize for the impulsiveness of my contractor in challenging you with blades, I have a clearer idea of how deadly you are than she does, so take into account she doesn't quite....

Mou! Urusai Alastor!

[emptyshrine]

... Alastor? Is he your dad or something?

[flameyedhunter]

I raised her from childhood, yes, though we are not related by blood. I am her guardian and contractor.

[doudemoe]

Okay.

[flameyedhunter]

[ A sonorous male voice booms. ] I would like to personally thank you for taking an interest in the life of my contractor. You've been a calming influence on her when she lost someone very close. I owe you in particular a great deal.

[doudemoe]

[Okay, ow his eardrum.]

Ah, you're welcome.

Who is this?

[flameyedhunter]

Oh, uh... what?

[flameyedhunter]

[ A loud scary male voice crackles over the phone ] You needn't be scared of Hirai, you know. She's very fond of you and doesn't blame you for what happened at all.

[pants_yourmove]

Hello.

I think I have the wrong number.

[flameyedhunter]

You do not. You are Shana's friend, are you not?
