[goooood morning, Somarium! it sure has been a long time since this face was on the network last, huh? Maka's sitting on her bed this fine morning, although she's already dressed and prepped up for the day; if you're perceptive enough, though, you might notice there's still some traces of sleepy on her face.]... So, I guess I was out for a while

[Just when Crona actually thought that his friends weren't here... But Crona picks it up as soon as he hears the voice.]

...Maka?

[unsure.]

[resonancy]

--!! Crona!

[Maka looks like she's suddenly sitting up from leaning back into her pillows, and possibly gripping the device in her hands a little tighter. she hasn't forgotten what happened before she was out cold, when she saw Crona last; but this time...

... Crona looked fine?]

Are-- ... Are you okay?

[howdoipeople]

[People kept asking him that. Did something look wrong? And he actually thought he was doing better...]

I'm fine...

But... what about you?

[You're the one who was just waking up now...]

[resonancy]

[she vehemently shakes her head]

Don't worry about me, alright? I'm more concerned for you!

[howdoipeople]

But why...?

[Crona doesn't understand.]

[resonancy]

Because--

[arghhh, you dummy, she wants to say, don't say dumb things like that]

Because I am. Are you sure you're really okay?

[howdoipeople]

I-I think so...

[Crona doesn't know how to deal with such intense questioning... now he'd doubting himself...]

[resonancy]

[there's a beat]

Okay.

[and then she relaxes a little. but only a little, because while this had been the Crona she was most familiar with back home, it didn't change what had happened in the middle of Somni all that time ago. but maybe something happened between then and now, and Maka doesn't want to pressure Crona into anything when she knows they're a fairly hesitant person...

perhaps she'll just ask Kid when she sees him next.]

If you are, then... okay. I'm sorry I've been gone.

[howdoipeople]

I-It's okay. Really.

I didn't even know you were here...

[resonancy]

...

[huh???]

You didn't?

[howdoipeople]

Great. Weren't you listening?

[Crona had really hoped Ragnarok would have remained quiet a little longer...]

Ragnarok... [It sounds like Crona tried to sound repremanding... and only kinda sorta got it right.]

It's not my fault she's a moron and has no idea what's going on!

[Sorry Maka... it's time for another of their abusive quarrals...]

Oww stoppit-- How was she supposed to know... we just got here?!

[resonancy]

............

[that may or may not be the corners of her lips twitching in annoyance, Ragnarok.]

[howdoipeople]

[Ragnarok notices. That may or may not be the reason that he lets Crona speak.]

I just got here a few days ago...

[resonancy]

[yeah you better can your trap you stupid inky blob. whatevs, Maka lets out a small huff before letting her expression fall back into something more serious again.]

A few days ago...

[she echoes, quizzically. ... did Crona leave and come back, then? it wouldn't be unheard of; Maka's more than familiar with Somarium's workings. but then, Crona before...

she feels something inside her twist a little, but doesn't show any signs of it.]

... I see. Then-- Ahah, nevermind that for now! I guess I'm just confusing you, huh? A few days, you said? Then I'm only a little belated.

[howdoipeople]

[Tch yeah fine he didn't want to really deal with you anyway. Crona on the other hand, certainly still looks concerned about it. But like most things, it's hard to say.

So Crona doesn't.]

If you're sure...

[Now that Maka's smiling, it's a little better.]

It hasn't even been a whole week yet...

[Although it hadn't been the easiest time, it had been... new and interesting.]

[resonancy]

Sorry for not being around, but I'll be here to help you from now on! Are you settling in all right, at least?
