[ After Ingrid dries her tears, she opens up the journal again and calls Robert. She doesn't know what she's going to say to him, but she knows she needs to talk to him.]

R-robert?

[i_speak_softly]

[Your call is being answered by: Donatello.]

This is Don. What do you need?

[intangible_girl]

[Uh what.]

I need Robert.

I, uh... need to talk to him.

[That... could have been phrased better, but it's you, so who cares?]

[i_speak_softly]

He's not really up for talking to anyone right now.

[intangible_girl]

[No. No no no no no. It was Giles who was dead, not-]

Why not? What's wrong? Is he- is he okay?

[i_speak_softly]

He's been better. Can this wait a few days?

[intangible_girl]

I just- [Nrgh.] I- heard Giles was dead. I wanted to make sure he's alright.

[i_speak_softly]

No, he's not. [Congratulations, you have found the end of his very long temper. He's not in a mood to be forthcoming with details.]

[intangible_girl]

Is he- He didn't get hurt, did he?

[i_speak_softly]

No.

[intangible_girl]

[Ugh. You are being so very frustrating. Ingrid takes in a calming breath.] I'd really like to speak to Robert himself.

[i_speak_softly]

[A long silence.]

[Ugh, are you still there?]

Fine.

[He leaves the journal on the table and goes to find Robert.]

[stupidturtlewhatthehelliswrongwithyouwhyioutta]

safsd sorry ;;

[semper_cogitans]

[Robert is not hard to find, because locating him requires looking within the initial five feet of where he dragged himself to and curled up. This happens to be... well, the couch, still. At the least he's not currently crying, but he looks worse for wear.]

[i_speak_softly]

Robert. [Don leans over to gently touch his shoulder.] Ingrid wants to talk to you. [He tries to phrase this in a tone that makes it sound as unpleasant as possible, though, knowing Robert, it won't make any difference.]

[semper_cogitans]

[It doesn't, because Robert doesn't even register the tone. He's beyond registering much of anything at the moment.]

... I-Ingrid...? ... Wh-Why...?

[The first thought is that something happened to her, and it makes him sick all over again. He shudders against the back of the couch.]
