[Takes a moment to consider their options. With recent departures and the fact that he doesn't know the newer arrivals all that well yet, the list of likely candidates is depressingly short.]

i'm sure matt wouldn't mind having alma's company for a day.

she's the one spending too much time with me, and you spend too much time being yourself.

[That was a slight aimed at your personality, not a typo! See, this is why Allen doesn't like text all that much. Besides finding the whole virtual typewriter thing really cumbersome, that is. But speaking of your roomie.]

how's alma doing, by the way?

[Because you're using text with him, that's why. There's a noticeable delay as Allen just stares at those two words on his screen. There are times when he goes for text himself, even though (or because) it's so... Limiting. He's used to communicating in way more than words.]

he does deserve answers, you know. i'll be careful with what i tell him though.

[What happens to him, and what happens to you. Allen still has several important conversations to get through before he can decide how much to tell, and how to tell it.]

i'm not going to tell him either, just explain things in a way that'll at least set him at ease.

[Remembering what he had overheard on his first day back:] his conversation with karkat helped.

kanda. he just needs to know that isn't him. and it isn't.

[To a point, anyway.]

[...]

alma likes you a lot, you know. [Now he's glad for text.] he just needs to know he never would end up like that or hurt you.

[See why you should send Allen to lie to him.]
