Erin's voice mail message is in a weary voice: "Erin Peters. If you called in the middle of the night and I didn't answer, I'm dying. If I pick up and someone on your end isn't dying, they will be shortly. Text otherwise."

You're sweet, petal, you really are and I love it and you but God I feel like the blunt instrument everyone thought I was right now and I don't like that feeling nor is it the easiest thing to bleedin shake.

So long as you actually go get yourself healed up if you get hurt then, sure. You can have more interesting fights with people closer to your level and I'm fine with you indulging that if you think it through.

Five minutes later

You are no instrument. Of any sharpness. One bad introduction does not mean you have some deep failing. Also this delay brought to you by petal making me squeal like a goddamn teenager.

[pointofhonoria]

Despite all grumpiness that makes her smile.

Five whole minutes squealing, huh? I'm glad you like it, was a lil nervous to try the endearments out. Like making you happy though.

And thanks. I know, y'know, but feelings know nothing sometimes.

[crushed_pearls]

Yeah. The heart is a madman and sometimes it is mad like a fox and sometimes it is mad like a cat attacking her own ass and then wondering who bit her on the ass.

You know you are the first person to really use a pet name for me? Not like the first person ever. Flings and such would use terms of endearment but.

Well.

Razor Anne was maybe the closest thing I had to a girlfriend for a long time and she called me boss lady. Including in bed.

About eight seconds later.

That last part was possibly too much information.

[pointofhonoria]

See that sure causes me to feel some kinda way but where even is the line with too much information when we've slept together and had talks so involved I come out of them feeling like my face is literally on fire?

Will admit to being a bit pleased when I'm the first with something.

Seeing as Erin's her first... almost everything, sometimes it's kinda nice when its her turn.

[crushed_pearls]

Glad to have that from you love. And I am so glad I can genuinely drive you wild.

Thank you. For being there for me on this. And when I have trouble being there for myself. For being you in all your glory.

[pointofhonoria]

Well, I sure ain't going to be anywhere but there for you, I wanna be there. And I ain't gonna stop being me.

Love you. Thanks for trusting me even with the stuff I ain't always sure about.

[crushed_pearls]

Catch ya at our next reading Honoria. Unless we end up rescheduling because you finished your assignment.

Should Erin have thrown in that last tease? Maybe not! But something to look forward to might be a nice way to get Crabb out of her own head.

[pointofhonoria]

Cue Crabb taking a couple minutes to reply after fumbling and dropping her own phone on her face.

Bloody merciless tease, you are.

[crushed_pearls]

And now to complete my villainy I return to practicing my braille. Love ya.

[pointofhonoria]

Love you too. Talk later.
