Hello, this is Michael. I can't pick up right now, please leave a message.
code creditHh, hey, Michael? Hi--um. [he can't pick up right now, just leave a message, jeez!]
I, I heard you...helped out while I was...Y'know. I mean--thanks for the clothes. It helped. Sorry I haven't...been much around. I'll be more...that. Soon. I think.
So.

Ye-yeah. Thanks again. Hope things are okay.

[Michael's been a little busy with stuff lately, so it's not too surprising that he missed the call. Nonetheless, he'll just call back as soon as he gets the message!]
Hey! Yeah, no problem, man. How are you feeling?
Hey! Yeah, no problem, man. How are you feeling?
Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Just working on some stuff - getting a job and all that, you know. You're not at the house, are you?
No, just checking. I locked the doors before I left, not sure if you've still got your keys.
[.....]
Also, some friends of mine have pitched a tent in the sitting room.

Oh! Good, you've met! Yes, him and his husband.
They're living in it. Just seemed safer to have it in the house than out on the streets.
Is it? I...
[Well. He lived there longer, sure. But he still thinks of it as Amara's house, if it's anybody's.
Michael thinks better of saying that, though, and lapses into an abrupt silence instead.]

[the pause carries over to Manabu's end, who needs as much time to process the awkward as he does forming words that won't trip up his tongue.]
I mean-- as far as...who is there ll, longest. I mean.
[beat.]
I also...didn't know it. It was here at first. You...kinda got dibs.

...right.
[Aaaa, he made it awkward. Let's regroup!]
Well! It's no big deal - I really don't need that much space just for me. Besides, according to our personal timelines, you left it much more recently than I did.

...no, I haven't. Pretty sure she's not around.
[Anyone else, he might buy that they could've arrived and been missed, but Amara tends to make her presence pretty well-known.]

.....yeah.
[god this is bombing]
Seems like it's better than a Deerington death, though?

Yeah, of course. You too.
So, are you coming back home soon?
So, are you coming back home soon?
No, of course not. I didn't give away your bedroom. I'll just make sure the door's open, grab some food.
[He's still not in the habit of eating alone, and Vyng and Tuck seem to have their own tent-kitchen, so maybe things are a little scare there right now. It's fine.]

Figured. Dying's weird.
[Just generally, but especially when your body and all your possessions don't just turn into smoke.]
No big deal, I can just get a copy made if you can't find them. Think I could make it myself, actually.
