"You've reached Nina."

video | voice | text → action

[ She has been so pleased lately. It's fine. (It's mutual.) ]

🌻🌹🌹🍒

🐺🐌

[ And indeed, Trass is waiting for her outside the cafeteria. ]

[ ...heh. ]

🌘🌈

[ And then, yes.

But, hello Trassel. ]

🐺🌄

[ She scratches around his ears while he looks at her balefully. Matthias is not letting him hunt! Again! ]

How long should I keep him with me?

[ Promises, promises. Now they can be made. He smiles, at the rainbow. Yes. ]

🌘💐

[ And, ]

Nina,

He may stay with you. He is not happy about the creatures, and does not see why we should not eat them.

Matthias

[ She spends a moment allowing her insides to hum with his promise in return. Yes. ]

Surely he could eat one of them. 😏

Are there many more today?

[ He types, "Nina," and then backspaces. Types again, and frowns at it. It's a compromise between him and the machines, he writes properly and it looks better, but for Nina, it's now insufficient. ]

[ She did complain about ceremony. But Matthias can no sooner change who he is than a stone can change. So she will just have to DEAL. ]

Dearest Nina,

That is what I thought you would say. He has ambushed you successfully. Be a little more careful today.

Yours,
Matthias

[ Dearest.

Well.

That's new.

Dearest.

She'd just been on the verge of telling him that he didn't need to be so formal in these notes to her. That's not... going to happen now.

Dearest Nina. ]
