[If he could see her face right now. It's easy for her to think the people around her are dope, but for someone to say it back to her? Wow. She's thrilled.]
When we put the pretty feathers in your hair, you'll be doper.
[Oh my god. It's a good thing these aren't visual feeds, because she can't see him planting his face firmly in one hand - though she might hear it, based on the way his voice has grown slightly muffled.]
Maybe I should bring Kidwun and Kittu along. They'd probably have a lotta fun with that kinda thing, yeah?
[That's safer, isn't it? She likes both kids, and they like her right back. And the elves - all three kids seem to have been pretty drawn to them from the start.]
[An afternoon with a bunch of kind-hearted people, shoved into one area, learning how to hustle, make eggs and have vocab lessons? Sounds like the makings for a good time. She can drag Seto too-it'll be incredible. She's so excited?? Her voice is all kinds of high pitched and happy.]
Yes! They'll smile for a long time doing these fun things. And you'll smile too. Everyone will be very happy.
[I MEAN, WHY NOT, RIGHT? They've survived the horrors of Ai'tuoh, and they've got a spot of downtime before the next island surfaces. Why shouldn't they enjoy themselves while they can?]
[When's best?? For her?? Is this some kind of riddle??
Her whole life is pointless free time occasionally peppered with moments of being useful. When isn't a good time. She doesn't even know how to answer that.]
That's...pretty much every day, kiddo. Gonna have to be more specific than that.
[Every day that isn't the last week of January of this year, but let's not mention that because Tim could happily go without mentioning the fact that the sun went out for AN ENTIRE WEEK one time.]
[He won't organize this until he knows all other parties are actually interested in it being organized. Until then, Ren can...get her good eggs. Whatever that entails.]
[He'll come to regret those words. Wait until it's midnight and the little rock starts talking to him. Horrible. A metric ton of future phone calls are already aimed in his direction. What a tragedia.]
Okay. If I don't hear your voice, I'll call out to your heart. You might hear that kind of thing too.
[Once he might've scoffed at that - at the mere notion that someone could communicate via his heart. But once your soul is laid bare to someone else, and you hear everything they are, that'll generate a shift in your perspective, like it or not.]
[Of course he'd get it. Living the life they had, he'd understand what it means to communicate by your heart and feelings. While she's aware the odds of it working are small, it could. If he doesn't pick up one day, that's a viable backup plan.]
[There she is. Ya gurl. Who seems to have had a brief moment of panic because she didn't think the rock would talk to other people again, so she wants to make sure. Egg cooking and hustling are on the line here.]
[A soft little huff of sound, barely present, barely audible, but it's nonetheless present, and it might be the first time in...god knows how long, really.]
[While she thought she heard a noise before he started talking, the confirmation he's able to hear her voice is enough to distract her from it. This is the best treasure in the whole world and she's going to give this rock its own pocket, padded with flowers.]
Okay, I won't get scared again. This time I'll say 'Bye Tim' and let the treasure sleep.

The elves teach you that one too, kiddo?

[None of these things she can do well, but you know.]
You can come by and play with us. They'll show you too.

[HER MOSTLY.]
no subject
All right. Let's make it a date, right here. We'll all get together and have a little party. How's that sound?
no subject
I'll tell Taako and Lup we're going to have a 'party'. They'll be happy too.
[She'll guard the cumin and cayenne with her life until that day comes. Spicy eggs are for everyone now.]

It's all the best.
[EVERY AND ALL TIMES ARE GOOD FOR HER TIM.]
no subject
I mean, like...in terms of timing. Probably best if we don't just go barging in there, yeah?
no subject
Soon? Very soon?
[A pause.]
On the day the sun is bright?
no subject
[Every day that isn't the last week of January of this year, but let's not mention that because Tim could happily go without mentioning the fact that the sun went out for AN ENTIRE WEEK one time.]
no subject
We have to find good eggs for you first. I'll talk to you on this treasure after we do that.
no subject
[He won't organize this until he knows all other parties are actually interested in it being organized. Until then, Ren can...get her good eggs. Whatever that entails.]
You...get your good eggs, then.
no subject
[Hopefully within the week. Preferably in the next couple days. Or tonight. Right now. Maybe 20 seconds in the past she's ready to go go go.
And she knows she's going to call him soon to talk about the party, but-]
Can I listen to your pretty voice on this treasure again soon? Is it okay to talk to you on this thing?
no subject
[He keeps it on his person to answer whenever he can, usually, but it bodes mentioning:]
I usually keep it on me. If you don't hear from me, I'll...try to get back to you as soon as I can anyway, okay?
no subject
Okay. If I don't hear your voice, I'll call out to your heart. You might hear that kind of thing too.

...maybe, yeah.

Okay. Bye Tim.
[The little rock goes silent.]
no subject
30 seconds??
Maybe a whole blessed minute of peace and serenity before-]

Can you still hear my voice? Does it still work?
no subject
[A soft little huff of sound, barely present, barely audible, but it's nonetheless present, and it might be the first time in...god knows how long, really.]
[He laughs, even if it's only for a moment.]
Yeah. Yeah, I hear you, kid. Don't worry.
no subject
Okay, I won't get scared again. This time I'll say 'Bye Tim' and let the treasure sleep.
no subject
All right. That's...okay, Ren. You get some sleep too, okay?
no subject
I will. I'll go back to the tent right now.
Bye, Tim.
