I had an uncle. He was a twin, too.

[ She giggles, again, because apparently that’s hilarious. ]

I’m doing great! Super good. My room is amazing, and my roommates brought all this wine, and a pipe, and it’s all so nice, especially the wine.

—And the roommates! They’re nice too! Nicer than the wine. Really.

...Twins are very prevalent in your family, I see.

[Slightly dry, but more warm than anything. Which is followed with low laugh.]

Beleth, just how much wine have you had?

I guess...? It was on my father's side, and he's from a different clan, so I don't know what his family tree was like. Maybe I could ask at the next arlathvhen...But I haven't talked to any of them before--

[ Pause. ]

--Wine? Just a few glasses. I'm fine, I'm barely buzzed. [ She says, lying. ]

[James's smile can be heard through the crystal.]

I think it's been a few more than that ... regardless. Did you call me to talk about my middle name? Or, are you just calling to tell me how much you like Nevarra?

[ She has to think on this. Why did she call him? It had seemed like a good idea at the time. ]

I just wanted to see how you were doing. That you hadn't died and been stuck in the Necropolis yet, you know? That'd be gross.

[You can't see it, but you can hear the warm smile responding to that.]

So you were worried about me, a little? No worries, Beleth, I will not be going into that death trap of ... literal death.

[A slightly longer pause.]

When you are free ... I would like to buy you another drink.

[Very Very Cautiously offered?]
