[Kurt's soft, high-pitched voice pipes up, breathy and energetic as usual, and he sounds like he always does. The only difference between this post and his usual ones, really, is the fact that it's not a video-- But that could be for all sorts of reasons, right? Right.]

It was quite startling, to have to fix our Darkness-proofing this morning! It's lucky I wake up so early, really, or I might have missed it. [A small laugh.] I wouldn't eat any of those Skittles, though, as tempting as they may be.

[Avoiding the issue, avoiding the issue...] Anyway, I-- I apologize for not answering calls over the weekend. I've been very busy. It's never my intention to worry anyone, so I apologize.

Especially you, Ms. Vesper-- I'm terribly sorry. Can I take a rain check on that coffee?

No. No, not at all, you--

You made me feel safe. As safe as I could feel, anyway.

[It's different than talking to the others. Mercy was there too, after all. He doesn't feel the same need to smile it all away, not with her.]

[Another thing that she's never heard before. He's just tilting her world view all over the place.]

Anytime...

[Awkward pause.]

Anytime you need the coyote, just call. It doesn't hurt me to shift. And it doesn't bother me at all.

[showbizpanache]

I'll be fine, Mercy. You need to look out for yourself.

[Pause.]

Did--did any of them hurt you? The hunters? After we got separated--

[A soft sigh.]

I'm used to a pack, Kurt. I'll be fine.

[She is quiet for a moment.]

It's not too bad. I got seen to.

[showbizpanache]

Regardless, I want to put in some more hours at the garage. Is that okay?

I'd like to keep busy. [And keep an eye on her, too, whether she likes it or not.]

[vw_coyote]

I don't mind, Kurt.

[She knows, but pretends not to.]

You have my address if you need it?

[showbizpanache]

Yes. But I'll be fine, Mercy. Really.
