Is this how it works? Ha! Got it!

Hey, this is the equivalent of getting in touch with the mighty Kumou Tenka - yours truly - if I'm otherwise busy. Tell me what you need and I'll get back to you as soon as possible! Talk to you soon.

[Sousei didn't really argue him being the one to run out into the snow while Tenka held down the fort. After all, there were people Sousei wanted to check on, and so, properly bundled up, he went out and--]

this is stupid.

[ah. That would be about two hours after he headed out, the first time he almost got clipped by a drive-by santa claus.

we're off to a good start.]

[deontology]

i'm not picking up

10 minutes later;

[deontology]

tea

[look, there were santas, sano screaming names into the wind, blah blah blah--]

also does harada have a young woman?

20 minutes later;

[deontology]

tenka?

[why aren't you answering............................this is getting weird. Just imagine Sousei standing in the snow, shaking his phone. why are you not.

functioning.

why.]

[deontology]

[...whatever.

Then he has elves to fight off, and people in malls to save, and things are ultimately a disaster of epic proportions, and by the time he remembers his phone, Tenka still hasn't responded, so he's pretty sure something's wrong, but he doesn't get the technology well enough to be sure.

He runs a hand through his hair.

Hm.]

these are utterly useless for communication when we need them to function

[not that he NEEDED IT TO FUNCTION not that he needed help or

..... he regrets that message the moment it sends. even though he doesn't think Tenka's getting them??? Either way.

So much regret.

And then he begins his long trek through the snow home.

Gross.]

[sunshrouded]

[Tenka's not getting them. Whether it's because things are on the fritz thanks to the power outage or what have you -- he's actually getting to chill at home with cookies and tea and the swords. Admittedly, every jingle of bells and boisterous laugh manages to get him to stiffen up, immediately on the defensive.

And then suddenly he gets

all of the texts at once

ah? so he sends back his own responses.....]

do u miss me that much already

[sunshrouded]

oh and are you ok

[why is that always his second thought]

[sunshrouded]

and we have enough tea, asshole

5 minutes later

[sunshrouded]

[and because he forgot--]

also how do you have a young woman

do you have kiiko

that makes no sense

sousei cmon

[deontology]

shut u

[he's mad, okay. He's still irritated by his confrontation with Sano, knuckles a little bruised, and he's been fighting elves and saving people in that gap of time it took for their devices to connect.

So yeah.

He's irritable.

And that's all Tenka gets as a response before Sousei's back to fighting more elves.]

[sunshrouded]

so who put you in a bad mood

[sunshrouded]

also answer the first question before i kick your ass

[sunshrouded]

wait no not the first question the second question

[sunshrouded]

you OBVIOUSLY miss me

[deontology]

[It takes awhile longer before Tenka gets another response, though if that's their connection or the elves or both it's hard to say.

... ... ... he squints at it.]

what was the second question

five minutes later

[deontology]

[eventually he manages to get his inbox to load enough that he can read back.

Oh.]

i'm fine

[sunshrouded]

your memory sucks really badly huh

[sunshrouded]

i think that's a sign of old age coming for you, sousei-kun

[sunshrouded]

don't worry i'll make sure you're comfortable

[sunshrouded]

[deontology]
