'Aethia? Are you alright?'
| >Phone buzzes back.
'Relatively speaking. Physically I'm fine...I'm not doing too well any other way. Are you okay?'
| `Oh, you know me. I always land on my feet. Can't speak for Barty, though. Had a minor scuffle.`
| 'So you're safe. Nobody's tried to hurt you or anything?'
| 'Eh, someone tried to break in. They saw the snake, overreacted, I bopped them on the head and took their pistol.`
| ' Do you want to stay at the estate? I can prepare a room for you however you like it...'
| 'I'm fine. I've got good neighbors. And I really don't know if it's safe to leave, ya know?'
| 'Okay. Just...Let's drop everything from before. I love you and I want to stay in touch...After what happened I realize now that I have no time to be...stupidly awkward with my big sister. If you need anything, anything at all..."
| 'Well then. Usually I only get this from people who've had a little too much to drink but uh. If you need me, I don't mind coming over.'
| ' It would be good to see you again. It's been years, right? I can send someone to pick you up for safety purposes...it's just it'll have to be a disguised car or an armored van and I'm afraid to associate you with me right now...I...don't want anyone to attack you because of me.'
| 'Well, shit. I can deal with that...my one concern is my python...he's a big boy, but he can't handle himself alone. Got anything big enough for the two of us?'
| 'Sure! I can have have a tank prepared for it in the car, we can transfer him to it, right? Or would you rather hold him...?"
| 'A tank...I'll hold him. I'm...not sure how he'd take to being in a foreign environment w/o me. My son needs me.'
