[ There's a long pause on this end of the feed too, because.. well, even if Minako doesn't know what happened, she doesn't need to know. They're Watch partners, so at the very least she should speak up.

Her voice is still a little quiet, maybe even a bit hoarse or raspy. ]

[tapferkeit]

I can tell you about it sometime, if you want.

[ audio ]

[reloved]

... Sure. I don't mind listening for once.

[ audio ]

[tapferkeit]

Just let me know when, okay?

[ audio ]

[reloved]

Hmm.. I feel.. a little bit tired right now, but maybe later sometime.

[tapferkeit]

I could play you a lullaby, if you want?

[ There's a small chuckle - less energetic than usual, but it's still there. The sounds indicate the communicator's shifted a little. ]

I'd like that.

[OKAY I COULDN'T FIND A GOOD VERSION OF THE ZELDA ONE I HAD IN MIND SO LET'S GO WITH THIS GORGEOUS ONE.

Link smiles and lifts his ocarina to start playing the relaxing song.]

[ Yeah, she's not replying anymore.

... Probably fell asleep right there. ]
