[ he hadn't figured it out. until now anyway. he manages to hear connor's message... though he can't figure out how to return it, not right away.

suffice to say, it takes him a few hours before he manages to get anything back to him. ]

Why can't they just make these things simpler? I mean... it's a magical bracelet. Magic. Magic should be more convenient than this. Come on... maybe if I push this button... or maybe this one over here...

[ clearly he doesn't actually realize he's figured it out though. ]

[answers the call and listens, amused, for a moment before turning on the video]

You need an illustrated guide.

Huh? [ a blink. ] Oh. You mean... it's on.

Great.

Hi.

Hi.

[ ... ]

So, new place, huh?

Yeah, a two bedroom in Baldr.

Oh. Good. Hel always seemed like a pretty bad neighbor-

[ wait. ]

Two bedroom?

Hel is fine, it's just that all the housing there was for four.

[whoops he was going to work up to that]

Yup.

[ a nod. ]

So you're going to have like... a roommate or something, right?

Yeah. You remember Sophie?

Yeah. You're, uh... friend.

[awkwardddddd]

More than friend, actually. She wasn't the first time you asked.

Oh. Well... that's good. I'm glad for you.

[ though... they're already moving in together? ]

But, uh, are you sure you're not moving things too fast?

We've had this planned for a long time. The moving.

This might be easier to talk about in person.

Yeah, I'll come... uh... wherever you need me to.

Say the word and I'm there.

My friend works at a cafe? It's decent.

I'll be there.

Ten minutes?

[tells him where it is and turns off the feed]

[ he'll get there promptly as quickly as he can then, arriving a few minutes early and taking a seat as he waits.

still not used to this whole "dad" thing, but this is going pretty well... right? that's what he tells himself, anyway. ]

[connor is there pretty quickly -- he comes in wearing clothes that actually fit him (unlike the last few times) and has a hardware store bag over his shoulder.]

You got here fast. Excited to lecture?

[he sits and hangs the bag over the back of the chair]

That wasn't really the plan.

[ though he's not quite sure what the plan is. ]

What have you got there? [ he nods towards the bag, a little curious. ]

[he motions to the server, coffee would be good]

Oh. Bathroom and kitchen stuff, cleaning supplies... nothing exciting.

Oh. Right. For the new place.

[ he motions to the server that he wants a cup too, before settling back in his chair. ] So how's it going so far? You know, the whole... thing.

It's better than the welcome hall. We always have hot water, it's quieter, no one bugs you if you're up late... she cooks.

Right. The place.

[ maybe he should consider moving out sometime soon too... but for now... ]

So tell me more about the girl.
