So... it was just an argument? But it sounds like he thinks it was a real fight?

[She's trying her best to piece this together...]

[windbreak]

[He makes a vaguely uncomfortable noise. Not much time to fling insults at each other in between the literal flinging. (And... the other kind of flinging...?)] Well, same difference. But I'm starting to think I should've just called him that day, y'know? Now it's just gonna be awkward for him.

[saving_sound]

And now you can't even get your message through...

[What a sticky situation...]

Do you know where he could be now? Maybe you could explain it to him in person... and he could get his scarf back, too.

[windbreak]

Oh, y-you were listening to that part too... [He laughs a little weakly. Of course she was.] Yeah, that's pretty much all that's left, huh? I'll... sleep on it. [The explanation, not the scarf. The scarf would just be weird.] The number of people this went to instead of him, I think I'm all explained out for one day.

[That, or putting it off for a day longer still sounds easier than figuring out how the hell to broach the subject at all. It's the thought that counts. Or something.]

[saving_sound]

Huh... it went to others, too?

[That's... odd.]

Is there something wrong with the network...?

[windbreak]

It's not like I wanted everyone and their kid sister to know he dropped his scarf... [Huff.] So didn't you hear about the bracelets screwing up before, Hibiki-chan? I hadn't, but one of my other friends mentioned something about that.

[saving_sound]

Eh-- again?

[Oh dear, what could it be this time?]

I haven't been checking... I didn't realize there were any problems!

[windbreak]

Isn't this enough of a problem? [He's starting to whine again...]

[saving_sound]

[Oh. Erm.]

M-maybe... when you talk to him, it'll be better to speak to him in person? That way there's no network problems, and you can make sure he understands that you aren't mad...?

[windbreak]

[He doesn't reply for a second, because through no fault of Hibiki's, he's biting his lip.] I guess I know what you mean.

[Still, as soon as he notices, it's back to at least sounding more like his usual self.] Anyway, you'd best be careful about leaving messages for people too, yeah? [Not that Hibiki has an incriminating bone in her body as far as he knows, but in a way, that's almost worse...] Night.

[saving_sound]

Mm, I'll be careful!

...And, I hope talking with him goes well, too.
