quercusoptima | [aather] Candle Call post

Hello...

[ Awkward pause. ]

How are you?

Well enough, really -- we just got back from visiting my mother the other day.

Your mother? Is she well?

[ Sounds genuinely happy for Hakuren about this!! ]

[nodding a little, smiling]

It took some arguing, but yes, she's fine.

... I see. I'm glad to hear it. Um... I know it's probably the last thing you would have done, but... I hope you sent her my greetings as well.

I did, yes. She was glad to hear that I'd made friends.

That's not really surprising... but good to hear. Thank you.

Of course.

How about you, though? How are you doing?

. . . ah.

[ Looks a little uncomfortable :x ]

It's been stressful.

Mmm ... well, since you called, I assume you want to talk about it ... ?

C-can't I just have wanted to talk to you?!

That's just one of several topics we could talk about.

... Amethyst has lost another person. And there was a game where Pascal died unnecessarily, because he believes in self-sacrifice.

I don't want to depress you.

[shakes his head]

I know what it was like. I'm not that easily disheartened.

N-nonetheless!

I think you would have to try a lot harder to upset me than you think.

... I know, but it doesn't mean I want to be the bearer of bad new.

I'd rather know than not.

... well, now you know!

Is there any more?

... Mikage's probably mentioned it to you, right?

Yes, but I want to hear your side of things.

I don't know where to start!

The beginning is good.

That would be the beginning of our friendship in the first place!
