"Hi, 'Dite, it's me. I know I just saw you, but something important came up when I went back to the dorms. I'm going to be gone for a few days--not sure how long, but hopefully not too long. Figured it would be only fair to call, since Dinah and I gave you such a hard time about it last week. I'll call you when I get back, okay?"
Raven hated phones, but it was the quickest way to get a message to Aphrodite.
"Lady Aphrodite, this is Raven." Pause. Her tone wasn't angry, but it was a little rushed and strained. "I received your message." Pause. "I will not be coming to work today, but it is not because I do not wish to see you; there is a personal matter that demands my attention this afternoon. And I do wish to speak to you before I agree to return, so if you would like to arrange a time later this week, I would appreciate it. I hope you are well and that we will speak soon."
"Dite, it's me." Karla's sounded slightly out of breath, as if she were running somewhere and talking at the same time. "I've got to run. Stuff's going on at home--Glacia--and I'm heading back for a little bit to take care of what I can. I'll be careful I promise. Gotta go, I just didn't want you to worry."
Because a message of 'Going back to Glacia, brb,' was guaranteed to cause someone to not worry, yes!
