[ Voice ] [ Attempted lock from Mytho ]

[wings_of_hope]

[ There's a moment of silence before there's a meek clearing of a throat. And then another pause before the girl's voice comes through the device-- ]

I just... I just wondered... Who else here has had other people come from home and--

[ She hesistates for a moment, but then continues. ]

A-And they're from a different time and things happened and now you don't know what to think or feel about a lot of--

[ Ahiru cuts off yet again, a longer pause hanging in the air before sighs and speaks very quickly, almost tripping over her words as they come out in a sheepish mess. ]

I'msorryIshouldn'thavesaidanything.

[ The feed quickly statics out. ]

[ ooc: Distressed ducky is distressed, but ashamed of her own feelings on the matter. ]

What are you dwelling on?

[ That she might as well not even go home if her role in the story is done. That Mytho is happy now and she should feel happy but she doesn't. That Mytho knows she's a duck. And she is just a duck, but at least she's a girl here and can help somehow. That she should be happy for Rue, but it hurts-- ]

Just silly stuff.

[ She really needs to change the subject again. Fakir isn't giving this up.

Fake-cheer go...! ]

By the way, can you teach me how to use the oven? I'd like to try baking again!

[ It would be another good distraction, if nothing else. ]

No. Why are you avoiding my questions?

[ ...Well, that didn't work. ]

I-I'm not, I just...

[ She pauses. ]

It doesn't matter.

[ Fakir has enough to worry about, anyway. She'll get over this. She just needs to give herself some time. ]

Don't give me that.

[wings_of_hope]

Sorry--I just remembered something I have to do. I'll see you later, okay?

[ A walk sounds really good to her right now, anyway. It feel stuffier in here than it should and some fresh air would probably help. ]
