When we were children we'd say

[Ryland Ren]

Hey, Alva.

I'm going to be there soon.
But I had a question for you.

Blue  Alva Ren

[Alva Ren]

I have one for you too...
But you first!

[Ryland Ren]

Oh. Me?

Ah... What does he want to say though?

Yoojin... Remember how she was gone for treatment?

[Alva Ren]

Oh! God, yeah, she's been gone for like 90 years! Last I heard she was doing a bunch of surgery.

[Ryland Ren]

She was! She was. But she's back now.

[Alva Ren]

Really?! She's back? Did you see her? What does she look like now?

[Ryland Ren]

She is! And I haven't seen her yet.

Actually, I was wondering... would you be okay if I invited her to come with me to see you?

[Alva Ren]

Oooh

What? Of course it's okay! Why wouldn't it be?
I miss her, I want to see her!

You don't have to ask permission from me, silly.

[Ryland Ren]

Okay. I was just worried about... I don't know... I didn't want to overwhelm you.

[Alva Ren]

Oh. You were worried about

No I'm okay now. I had a bunch of beer so I'm kinda mellow right now.
Plus somebody helped talk me down. But thanks. :) You're so thoughtful.

I could use the distraction right now, to be honest. You guys should sleep over! Just like before!

[Ryland Ren]

Okay! We'll bring over all kinds of snacks and we'll make a night of it.

See you soon, Alva. <3

[Alva Ren]

See you soon!

Guess I'll ask him about the date when he gets here.

[Ryland Ren]

...so, who're you talking to?

[Alva Ren]

What? You! Just now!

[Ryland Ren]

But you said somebody talked you down.
If it wasn't me or Yoojin, who was it?
