[ There's a bit of silence where there's a little bit of sniffling before Jasmine remembers that she's leaving a message. ]
U-um... C-Canada? This... this is Jasmine. I just... wanted to let you know that I'm okay and that... that I'm, um... [ A shaky breath. ] I-I'm really sorry. I went back home b-but then I came back and you were the first person I really remembered s-so I wanted to let you know and... a-and I'm sorry.
I- I want to see you too! I'm on my way- I'm on my way--
[Canada can run really fast when it's important. And this is important. And you're only eight rooms away. And he was half-way there at the end of his message.
Which is to say, have a (not very tentative) knock at your door.]
[ She opens the door as quickly as she can and practically clings to him, shaking a little as she holds him tight and tries to keep herself from crying any more. ]
[And Canada likewise clings to her tightly, burying his face in her hair and crying silently. He can't bring himself to say anything quite yet, although he has so much he wants to say. After a moment he starts stroking her back softly, trying to quiet her shaking.]
[ Knowing that he was crying made Jasmine want to cry herself... but him stroking her back made her calm down considerably. This is real, and she feels so safe and secure and loved. ]
[Feeling her relax slightly in his arms, he tilts his head so he can look at her. Seeing her face again- it makes him so happy he starts tearing up again.]
[ She leans into him, smiling up at him quite a bit. ] Y-yeah! Everything's fine... I got to go to Sinnoh!
[ She pauses awkwardly, remembering that she hasn't really mentioned the other Pokemon regions before. ] I-it's, um... another area of my world. It has Pokemon Contests, which is why I went there...

[ She stops herself, focusing on answering his question instead. ] ... Y-yeah, I'm home... I want to see you.

Let's- let's sit down?

Y-yeah, we should... [ ... Except she doesn't want to let him go now. ]

After a bit he'll gently lead her over to the couch, but will only let her go enough so that she can walk (instead of shuffling).]
