Seasons: IC Contact/Continuations

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!

Nuh-uh… you were other people, so I didn’t want to bother you… so I missed having you around.

Okay... But the demon thing was way easier! Training with you is harder than that! Although I guess part of that is I was with someone really strong, but still.

[Squishes her a little. She can't think of a way to say 'it's hard balancing your time with a lot of different friends' without it sounding like she's bragging, so...]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to neglect you.

That's probably a way bigger part than anything else.

I know you didn’t mean it… you love everyone…

[She’s a little drunk now.]

I like most people, sure.

[Gently taking her wine cup out of her hand.]

Ohhh! I can’t have any more? I’m not that bad off, am I?

[You’re leaning against Evangeline now, giving her those kind of eyes. Yes.]

I still wanna get better if I'm really bad at it.

You don't have to dive right into the deep end of the pool when you're still learning to swim.

For your first time drinking, this is enough. Next time I'll let you have a little more.

Okaaaaaay…

[And she’ll turn around to lean against Evangeline.]

Yeah... I don't wanna make you upset, either. And that really scared me, too. Sorry for saying stuff that worried you.

It's easier said than done, I know. But I'm glad you're having a good time. You deserve that.

Thank you. What about you? Are you enjoying yourself?

Most days. [A...surprisingly honest answer.]

I'm grateful to be here.

Most days is still pretty good. I don't think there's anybody who's happy all the time.

[Not even Rinku, although she'd probably come closest of anyone Evangeline knows.]
