[Sorry, guys. She's one of those newbies.]

For God's sake. Really? This has got to be a first. Do these people even know who they're taking in? What am I even going to do here? I'm just a radio host back home, not - whatever you think I am.

[She is no soldier worth kidnapping, no, not at all, thank you very much.]

I can't do this.

I won't do this.

[Look. She's even throwing in a pause to show how serious she is.]

Besides, Fred wouldn't begin to know what to do without me. My fiancé? I have a life back home, you know, and it can't wait. So - you ought to put me back. As soon as possible, if that's not too much trouble.

[She has spoken. ... Then she starts to press random buttons because what am this technology.]

... Hello? Can anyone hear me?

[...

And I'd rather he go walk somewhere else. Fast.

Too bad about the network then. Bet you he's listening to this.

I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised. He is quite the creep, isn't he.

I'm told he's mostly harmless

[THOUGH SHE MIGHT NOT BE CONVINCED. :|]

He groped me.

WHAT?

That's right. He groped just after I'd arrived, and made no apology about it.

[Or maybe he did. She can't remember much from before he pulled a creepy face and she smacked him flat with her headset.]

Not that it would matter much.

[... Poppy she'd have things to say to this if she wasn't just

seething

in absolutely furious silence SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY...]

[That's all right, she'll wait.

For a while.]

... Hello?

That... is terrible. [Legit mad now, not just crankily indignant on another person's behalf.]

It's a lie.

[an audible! deep! angry! inhale! having been subjected multiple times to this kind of treatment herself, at many various points, Rin can't not take it seriously.]

I hope so.

You don't have to take my word for it. Just think about it.

I took a look at her and found her so attractive that I couldn't restrain myself.

I've known it to happen.

[Or close enough, at any rate. Some human beings more passable as mongrels have been unfortunate parts of Rin's life.]

[ A moment's reflection, and then he draws his conclusion: ]

...to you.

[look at how she bails right the fuck on out of this conversation without even saying a word this time

like a ship in the night

shwoooshhh]

--Rin?

[ oh dear. ]

[No. No wait, she can't just disappear. Then it's really, really obvious the answer is yes.]

... What?

[ He had grabbed her, hadn't he? And thrown her into the surf. And it had been perfectly innocent, on his end, or rather perfectly mischievous, but he hadn't meant it like that--

But what one means doesn't matter.

He forgets that she can see him (he uses video infrequently), so enjoy a few moments of Break's guilty face, before he murmurs: ]

I'm sorry.

[That, at least, she wasn't expecting. And honestly, she wasn't even thinking so much of that all the time - one of the benefits of being Rin. Things do wash off her back quickly.

He never came across threatening in that regard, at least. Stiffly, but calm:]

It's fine.

[ It isn't. ]

Right.

[WHAT SHOULD SHE SAY? She feels bad. It's just a thing that happens, to her. It's not like they're friends but Rin being Rin she's sensitive to the upset of others.

Awkward silence.]

[ He seems to realize, just then, that he's on camera and she can see him. Not only that, but he's making her uncomfortable. He brightens immediately. ]

Anywaaaaaay~!

That's the only apology you're ever going to get out of me, so you'd better savor it! ♥

[Much better. Icily.]

I'll save right where it is so I can look at it whenever I want.

Good plan!

[ An awkward pause. ]

Er, well. Anywaaaay! Bye-bye!
