[FUN GHOUL ➜ AUDIO 006]

[It's stupid to be back on the network publicly so soon after the incident. Especially when he knows Jesse's back and he told Galen he'd stay away. But he needs to know. Can't ask anyone to ask for him when he's hiding out around the church.

So he'll just use audio. Make it quick. Hope someone gives him answers before anyone has time to notice. Don't make a scene.]

... Missin' some people. Not answerin' my calls, just wonderin' if anyone's seen 'em. Cassandra and Conrad. Cute little girl that could probably kick your ass and a prissy, pale dude that probably couldn't.

You know where they are, just leave a message or somethin'. [He sniffs, mumbling something inaudible before quickly saying,] Thanks.

Are you okay?

[ She's just going to keep it short and simple for now, quiet and careful. She's worried, but she can also figure out a lot more for herself than by asking questions.

Like for instance where he is, but she's giving him a chance to move before he gets himself on Lucifer's radar. Please don't start a family war for her, Ghoul. ]

Fine. Not me you should be worried about.

[Like that's gonna stop her. And like he can go anywhere else! It's a public place. Can't go home right now.]

I'll look for your friends. [ But really though, she's never met either of them and never had any intentions of. She'll look hell she'll scour this whole damn town - but that's not nearly as important to her as what's going on with Ghoul. ]

You know you're roaming in dangerous territory, don't you?

[ It's a joke, she's even laughing and everything, see? Except it's strained, she's clearly pretty genuinely concerned here. Just because he helped her with the angels, doesn't mean that her and her biggest brother here are exactly on friendly terms. ]

Yeah? Thanks. [And then he scoffs.] Dangerous don't mean a thing, Chiquita. Just like bein' back home. Don't worry, none. I told you. Anyone got a problem, they can take it up with me.

[Which is totally why he's hiding from Jet.]

[ She's actually going to start looking now, but beyond a soft rustle that may or may not sound like wings depending on how hard he's listening, how much attention he's paying, she doesn't announce that. She could ask for descriptions but it's not strictly necessary. She'll know if she finds them. In the mean time, addressing more important issues, like how closely her undetermined person of importance is to her brother with a very personal issue with humans. Like, on his doorstep close. ]

I know, I know, tough as nails. I get it, but that's my world territory. You remember that banishing sigil?

[ She really doesn't want him to use it, honestly. It'll probably just piss Lucifer off more than anything, but worst case scenario it's something at least. If Ghoul can keep himself safe, then maybe she won't get caught in a war between her family and the friends she's made here.

Maybe. ]

Be careful, please. He's not the most reasonable guy around.

[ A.k.a. please consider relocating. Anywhere but there. ]

Yeah, yeah I remember. [He's not brain damaged, Anna. That's Kobra. He scoffs AGAIN.] He don't own the place. You see his name written anywhere? Not gonna start shit for you and yours, but it's not his. Place is for everyone.

[And then he sniffs.] Just feels better t'be here. Right now.

[ Because he's so much better at decision making clearly. Still, she sighs loud enough for him to hear, but doesn't keep up her protests. She can strongly disagree with the idea without forcing him out of there.

...Besides, that little sentence tacked on at the end kind of pulled at her heartstrings in ways she's not entirely comfortable with, so there's that too. ]

...Okay. Okay, stay, but be careful. [ She pauses a moment, then adds. ] Have- have I told you how you can contact me? Instantly, I mean. In case of emergency.

Y'mean other than this high tech contraption? [He snickers, half amused and half genuinely depressed about the lack of things to take apart and reprogram.]

You said I could call you... and you'd hear it. What is that? What's that mean, Anna?

Little more direct. No missed calls. Got a lot of benefits. [ And she had anticipated that question, but the distraction technique she'd been planning on using kind of fall flat in practice. She can't quite make herself do it, and there's a sharp exhale of breath through her teeth as she tries to decide where to go from here. ]

Think like...low level telepathy. I can hear it, but only if you're trying to talk to me. [ Or indirectly, but that neither here nor there. She'd rather not get into semantics right now. ] It's...complicated.

[ Big surprise there. ]

Gotta say, I'm a fan of benefits.

[And telepathy. That's actually really fucking cool, Anna. But most things about her are.] Complicated. Alright, I get it. So I just gotta start talkin' to you... and you hear it. That's it? That's all I gotta do.

I bet you are.

[ Totally laughing, because this is funny and light hearted, right? Not at all a serious discussion veering very lose to her actually telling the truth for once, right? It's a short chuckle, followed by a slight sigh. Yeah, that guilt is really starting to weigh on her now.

Soon. How's not the time, not when his friends have just disappeared ~~though really when will there ever be a good time~~ and he's focused on other stuff. Soon, but...not yet. ]

That's it. Just make like you're talking to me, and I'll get it. Call, and I'll be there straight away, okay? Whenever.
