This is Evangeline! Sorry, I'm a little busy right now, but leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can!
[Evangeline has confidence in her own work, but she knows how Rider worries, so it's important to have safety measures just in case.
She turns around.]
I'm turned the other way, you can put them on now.

[Rider always worries-
Once she'd gotten the confirmation, there was a light click as she undid the clasp at the back of her blindfold, sliding it off into her hands. A familiar flare of cursed energy as her eyes snapped open- and with a little bit of fumbling, she quickly put the glasses on.
Blink... blink.]
...
I think...alright. It should be safe, now.
[Even if part of her wished she had a mirror. She'd rather risk petrifying herself than hurting Evangeline- but there was no time to fret about that now. Besides, it certainly felt as if they were suppressing the power of her eyes properly.]

[Evangeline turns around, and looks Rider in the eyes.
Nothing happens. After a moment just to make sure, Evangeline beams.]
It works! And you have beautiful eyes, I have to say.
[Her own eyes sparkle with delight.]

[A small nod of agreement- hey, were those two smaller blue dolls always in the camera shot, or did they just appear there now? Might've been a trick of the picture- But yes! Her friends were very cute! And she's glad they could come with her.]
It'd be a lot scarier if none of them came with me.
Yeah, they are kind. Everyone on the phone's been nice so far too. I don't know how long they'll keep being kind or if they might change or anything like that.
[A tighter squeeze on her doll.]

[A tighter squeeze on her doll.]
I've been here for almost a year now, and they haven't stopped being kind. But I know it takes a while to relax.
[She can't say she's relaxed completely, even after all this time.]
[She can't say she's relaxed completely, even after all this time.]
I know people can change quickly, even if they're your friends.
But I've not met many people before and I've not been here as long as you have. Relaxing is hard. And I want to see and do loads and loads of different things now I'm here. And meet lots of people, and make lots of friends- It's okay if they don't know anything.
[If they never found out she wasn't real, then she had nothing to worry about, right? Even talking like this made her a little antsy, if the way she was rambling on was anything to go by.
...Sure was be strange how those little dolls looked like they were staring at Evangeline through the screen.]

[The dolls are probably alive or eldritch or both, it's fine.]
...But if they never know, you're always going to worried about them finding out and rejecting you, right? You'll never get a chance to find out if they would love you for you are, that way.

[It takes nearly all of Rider's willpower to not immediately avert her gaze- but no. Breathe. Focus.
And she met Evangeline's eyes for the first time.
Rider's own eyes widened a little. They were subtly inhuman, yes, but the glasses were doing their job.]
...!
Yes- it works. I-...I can finally look at you.
[Oh, then in comes the compliment- and that's enough to make her blush through the quiet excitement.]

Well? How do I look?
Well? How do I look?
[Still gentle.] Are you sure? I have a lot of friends who I know aren't human, and I like them plenty.
[As Evangeline knows, monsters aren't generally Armin's "thing" (in so many words), but he knows she worked hard on her calendar, and he appreciates the thanks.]
Hi, Evangeline.
I got your calendar today. I can tell you've put a lot of work into it. Thank you.
Hi, Evangeline.

Thank you so much for your help! It only turned out as well as it did because of your photography.
I'm truly flattered. All my thanks to you for allowing me that practice. :)
It did turn out nicely. I have to say, this entire calendar experience has been extremely rewarding.

Did you help out with any other calendars, or just mine?
[...she kind of wants to ask about the husbands one-]
[...she kind of wants to ask about the husbands one-]
[He did not go for the husbands calendar, but he did take more pictures of peanut butter than he'd ever expected.]
I helped out with a few, yes.
You also gave me the idea to take photos of those from my world, which we've been planning to do. I'm pretty excited about it. Nervous too. Haha.

Oh, that's good! I'm a little jealous honestly.
Well... there's nobody else from my world here.
[...Technically there is One Sin And Hundreds Of Good Deeds but that's an Abnormality, not a person. Anything she was able to regain with a Wishing Star doesn't count for this.]

[Right. Way to go, Armin. Here he'd had his mind on photos still.]
Of course. That must be very difficult. I know I'm very lucky to have the people that I do.
I'm sorry, Evangeline.

I'm sorry, Evangeline.
It's okay. I mean, it's not something under anybody's control, so it's not like I hold it against anyone from your world.
Of course not. But it's alright to feel disappointed by it. If you'd like to talk about it, I'll listen.
You're sweet, thank you. I don't know what I'd have to say about it, but I might take you up on it sometime.
How have you been? How was your holiday?
How have you been? How was your holiday?
[Ha. How has he been? He'll focus on the holiday question instead.]
Captain Levi's birthday was on the 25th, as well as Christmas, which I wasn't familiar with.
We had a nice time.
And you?

Well, you know, there was the memory thing, but that turned out alright for me all things considered.
[She will not mention that she finally got to bang a Titan in her idealized future dreamworld, but she is counting that as a major plus.]
And for the holidays I got a bunch of very sweet and thoughtful gifts. So that was nice.
