hey tex lmk when you get this? I'm back

[failureisntachoice]

[ She's not even texting back. Maya is getting a call and the first thing that's going to be said when the girl picks up the line is: ] Where the fuck were you?

[missleadingquestions]

I'm-- back in Nonah, I'm so sorry.

[She tries to speak as quickly as possible.]

I got ported out.

[failureisntachoice]

And you're safe? No one hurt you?

[ A brief pause then: ] I'm coming to Nonah. Have you eaten dinner yet?

[missleadingquestions]

What? No.

I mean, yes I'm safe, no, no one hurt me.

[Just... left a note.]

Um-- nah, I haven't.

[failureisntachoice]

Then let's grab something and we can talk about this.

[ What there is to talk about, anyway. Either way Tex is headed towards the porter to get herself to Nonah. ]

[missleadingquestions]

Oh-- um! Do you... mind if I drag Kaneda along?

I mean, he's kinda right here.

[He looked so sad when he walked in...]

I heard you guys worked together today.

[failureisntachoice]

[ There's a long, long pause. Does she really want to deal with the boy? Ugh. ]

...I guess. If he has no where else to be.

[missleadingquestions]

He just got back, y'know? And we were gonna watch movies buuut I wanna see you, too.

[failureisntachoice]

Got back from what? We spent most of the day looking for you.

[missleadingquestions]

Yeah, exactly!

Both of you did. So... I wanna stay with you both.

[...]

Thanks.

[failureisntachoice]

Let me guess, I need to come to Nonah now.

[missleadingquestions]

Weeee could meet up with you if you want!

[Why yes she is just volunteering Kaneda's time here]

[failureisntachoice]

We can go to one of the restaurants by the porter. [ A beat, then: ] I'm buying your meal. He can take care of himself.

[ Let her claim that right now. ]

[missleadingquestions]

Oh.

[She's still rather surprised Tex offered, though.]

Okay! Sure! Um, how soon do ya need us over there?

[failureisntachoice]

Soon would be nice.

[ Is that even a question? ]

[missleadingquestions]

So 'hang up and get going'-o'-clock. Gotcha.

[failureisntachoice]

I'll be waiting.
