[Fingers fumble across the buttons, and the camera comes on instead of the intended audio. There's just the corner of a pillow and a chin, a few beraggled strands of silver hair, but the image is very dim.

The boy in bed sighs, sounds run down, the usual confidence replaced with a tired mumbling tone, the shuffle of blankets, having just woken up

[Ah. Her voice. Now he can just reach for the communicator and flop back under the covers to curl with the device cradled comfortably close, shutting his eyes.]

The downstairs rooms are fine, Yorda. It's mostly just the top floor, and the attic.

[She peers at the comm with her unblinking gray eyes, curious as to why it's video.]

Nil se. But if we are not having room in one, we can use two.

...

Greenhouse did not break much.

[She sounds really, really happy.] Ed-bug build it very strong.

Good...good, I'm glad the hear it.

[He breathes a low sigh of relief, clearing his throat shortly afterward]

How did Hadaro's family hold out? Do you think they went deep underground? I saw a bunch of them, last time I went down in the subway station, but that was weeks ago.

You-- stay there for a little while, would you? Let the rest of us handle it if something's gotta get done!

[embracethewaves]

[...] Gotta be honest. I don't think any of us are up for defense lessons right now. Better call them off, huh?

[not_riku_thx]

[scowl, I look just fine, whoareyoumymother?]

Nawh, just- Just give me....like ten, fifteen more minutes, Umi...I'll be downstairs.

Dig the doorsled out for me if it's buried itself next to the steps again, will you?

...Yeah. Who's gonna be throwing punches when it's this lousy out anyway? If Iroh were still here we'd have heat...

[wirewings]

You're unwell?

[not_riku_thx]

Hnh? Nhh-no, I'm fine, I just....got up.

[wirewings]

You coughed.

[And a pause to think more.]

And you sound tired.

[not_riku_thx]

Everyone around here's a little tired and sick from everything.

[not_riku_thx]

Who is?

...How's Olette settling in, anyway?

[not_riku_thx]

That's good. Let me know if you need help, or...she needs to double bunk with Namine or Umi or anything.

[cozmic_travel]

Well, seeing as none of my colleagues have volunteered, perhaps I can take a gander?

[not_riku_thx]

Oh...um...s-sure, should I go down to the hopsital, or just...send a video?

We had to cut two off, 'cause of frostbite. I've been keeping it clean.

[cozmic_travel]

It's best you do not move. I can send one of my assistants on a house call.

[not_riku_thx]

I've been moving around fine...lost it....almost two weeks ago now.
