[barely audible, thanks to the intensity of the static and the quietness of his voice] well that would suck, wouldn't it?

You scared me half to death!

[a few deep breaths, and she sounds a little more calm]

Honestly... I almost think I'd rather not know when you're in trouble. At least when there's nothing I can do about it. It would be ironic in a very unpleasant way if I were to die of a heart attack from worrying about you.

[a sigh]

So you are alright? Relatively?

sorry - didn't mean to... [burst of static and a long pause] ...just tired. You're okay though, right?

I'm fine. Better off than you, I'd wager.

[another, heavier sigh, and the next comment is mumbled as if to herself]

...Take care of yourself. I've thought of another gift to give you.

heh, I just need a good nap, a fixed laptop, and some proper cure magic.... [static, and another long pause followed by a tired but amused chuckle] I heard that...

...is it a pillow? A pillow sounds really good about now...

It's a first aid kit. The best one I can find, once I get back to Radiant Garden.
I seriously thought you were bleeding to death or something...

[a not so amused chuckle]

I know, you're probably the last person I should worry about dying. Even without that bond with Lilith, I think you'd survive... I'm convinced you have an odd luck. The kind that doesn't keep you from getting into scrapes, but always lets you get out of them, right?

[loud burst of static that gradually tapers off] you wouldn't be so far off from the truth...

maybe I should sell that sort of luck on eBay - thrill seekers would love it

Geez, don't tell me that, Josiah. Not when there's no way I could've helped.

[here is one of those weighted silences that seems as if it would be filled, only she's holding back... or trying to decide how to word something]

[then a very small laugh]

You're lucky I'm not a violent person. Otherwise I'd be tempted to swat you...

Just so you know.

I'll make a note of it for next time... [quiet laugh that trails off as if he notices the weighted pause] Song, I- [stops and lets her continue speaking]

[dryly] lord help me whenever you decide to become a violent person.

[oddly enough she seems fairly amused now. Or at least, her voice has regained the subtle, almost musical lilt that is usually present when things aren't too dire]

Hmm, you must be tired. I was hoping you'd catch that... but of course, I'm just being impatient. With your luck, I'll have plenty of time...

should I be concerned for my well-being?

Now why would you need to worry about my intentions? I thought we'd been over this before. The rest of the universe abuses you enough as it is.

okay, be concerned then - gotcha [he really sounds like he's about to fall asleep any moment] I'm either going to get punched or hugged until I can't breathe or both when we see each other, right?

[static grows slightly louder]

there's a quote, I think, that goes something like "I know God will never give me anything I can't handle - I just wish He didn't trust me so much"... I'm starting to feel like that...

I wasn't planning to do either, I swear~ [this is her "I'm innocent!" voice]

There are better ways to leave you breathless.

uh-huh... right... [yeah he doesn't believe you]

[but, you've managed to catch him off guard in his exhausted state - before the static becomes louder, you can probably hear him fumbling for words]

[soft snickering]

Alright, hush and get some rest. You sound like you're talking in your sleep.

Apparently I'll be seeing you soon, provided the ship doesn't crash, or get swallowed by Monstro, or...
