[ A pause. Alayne clears her throat and then attempts to sound brighter than she did a moment go. ]

Now would suit me just fine, marshal. [ A beat. ] Will Ranger Hansen come as well?

[ She winces a little once the words have left her mouth. ]

Could give him a ring. Last I heard he was workin' on the new place.

[ he pauses, because as much as they've been lingering around one another since the Ishimura, he's not sure how his kid would handle the third party. ]

He doesn't like much takin' time off.

( v i : d 5 : voice )

[wont]

[ She tries not to sound disappointed at that, but then realizes she doesn't know why she'd be disappointed in the first place. ]

Perhaps next time, then. I know Lady is quite fond of him. [ A beat, then she remembers to add primly: ] For some unknown reason.

She will happy to see you, though. [ I'll be glad to see you as well. ]

He's not as bad as he barks.

[ which isn't to say that his son isn't a force to be reckoned with, but a loud dog most often is looking for attention when it didn't get enough. ]

I'll be there inna minute.

( v i : d 5 : voice )

[wont]

[ Murmured half to herself: ] Those with the worst bark rarely are.

[ Then she thinks to add: ] I've moved. Did your son tell you?

( v i : d 5 : voice )

[heracleidae]

—No, he didn't.

[ not a surprise, though. they don't talk much, even now. ]

( v i : d 5 : voice )

[wont]

—oh. [ A surprise for Alayne, apparently. ] I live now with Engineer Clarke in one of the classrooms.

[ It then takes a moment but she then sends a ping to his device which shows her precisely where she now lives. As it turns out it's not far from both the PPDC classroom and that of the UNSC. ]

( v i : d 5 : voice )

[heracleidae]

You won't be far from us, then.

( v i : d 5 : voice )

[wont]

He had said that you had moved as well&dmdash; [ Alayne makes a small noise. ] —but then proved stubborn in saying where.

—you'll tell me, won't you?

( v i : d 5 : voice )

[heracleidae]

[ you can almost hear the eye roll ]

Yeah. Here.

[ he'll send her a similar ping with their location ]

Far from done, though.

( v i : d 5 : voice )

[wont]

Then you must tell me when things have finished. [ A pause. ] And I shall visit you both.

( v i : d 5 : voice )

[heracleidae]

You bet.

I'm swingin' by now. No dawdlin'.

( v i : d 5 : voice )

[wont]

[ Muttered a little under her breath, though there is still a sweet note to her voice. ]

A young lady does not dawdle.
