[SIREN'S PULL] IC CONTACT

[[Yes. There's a picture of a rock here. Smooth, contoured, big enough to fit in the palm of a scrawny teenager's hand. Not that anyone else would see this on their end, anyway.]]

"Uuuh...okay. I'm still talking to a rock. Yup! Because I must be crazy..." [An awkward laugh easily becomes a pathetic sigh.] "This is stupid. How does this even- " [*DOOT*]

[There's a weak chuckle.] Yeah, no kidding. I guess not being there the moment of said burning helped a lot.

[These things always happen to him, don't they?] I would imagine so. But you are in no immediate danger of eviction, are you? You have a place to stay, and a means to feed yourselves?

[It's sometimes at an unfortunately alarming rate. Thankfully (?) it's been given in bursts in the city.]

That– oh, no, that's fine! Astrid and I are staying with Snow. Food and shelter are good. I just want to make sure I'm able to, you know, pay her back for everything we go through.

[Gotta love life!]

I am glad to hear you have adequate accommodations. I assume your wages from your job went, in part, towards compensation for her hospitality?

[Sob. If only it could make up its mind!]

Well, o-of course! It wouldn't have been fair if we didn't do that, right?

Merely trying to get an idea of the situation, Hiccup. I might make some inquiries for you among my own contacts, to see if I could help the two of you in locating a new employer.

Really? Wow. Um. You don't have to do that, Sephiroth– I mean, you've given me one contact already–

I don't have to do many things. But a lack of compulsion does not have to equal a lack of desire.

...Okay, point taken.

[Another one of those vocal smiles accompanies his next words.] You'll use it too, next time someone tells you that you don't need to do something.

Knowing me, Iii probably would. [Unfitting for a Viking, but hey. He admits it.]

Nothing wrong it it, you know.

I guess not. It's...nice, actually.

Good. I'm glad that it might be useful.

Oh yeah. Definitely useful. No worries about that!

...

Okay, maybe I should. Stop bothering you. I should go.

As you wish. But know that you are not a bother, so please do not hesitate to call me if you wish to speak again.

Okay. If you're cool with that, then...yeah.

I am. Have a good day, Hiccup.

You too! Have a good one.
