"Helloooo! You've reached Jaune Arc! If I'm not answering, it means I'm probably off somewhere fighting monsters or... doing something really awesome like saving a cat, or the president's son! You know how it is, a leader's schedule can be really hectic nowadays, ha ha! Just kidding, I'm probably in school, but I'd totally do those things if I ha-- [BEEP]"

W-What... that's definitely not good!

What do you wanna do, Shiho? I'm with you, no matter what.

[ Kaoru clearly doesn't want to be found, and it doesn't sound like finding her would change much, other than putting themselves at risk. Still, Jaune will help Shiho if that's what she wants to do. ]

[She wants to go to Kaoru, to demand not to be left behind. Because while she believes in her best friend's strength, she wants so badly to be able to do something for her.

But she also knows that Kaoru had enough to deal with, without having to worry that one of her best friends would be too close and too weak to get away if need be. Besides, she knew Jaune would help her and she couldn't put him in danger too.]

...Talk to me for a bit? At least until you fall asleep. It's just... [Lonely. Frustrating.]

...Just for a bit.

Sure thing... I'll stay on the phone until one of us passes out, deal? [ Preferably her... she could use a little rest. ]

As for Kaoru... we can plan her a homecoming party for when she gets back.

[good_ideas]

.....okay. If I can borrow someone's kitchen, we'll bake her a cake too, or something.

[She really does feel a bit better. A little less lonely, even if the thought of Kaoru out there somewhere by herself still makes her want to bury her face in the pillow and cry.]

Thanks, Jaune. You're- [Shiho yawns despite her best efforts.]

-the best.

Heheh... I'm sorry, what was that? Think you could say that again? After I press the record button this time.

Voice;

[good_ideas]

[Anyone else and she'd have tsun-ed her way out of this, but this is Jaune and being mean to him is just too difficult.]

You're the best.

And you don't need to record it. I...We keep telling you that, don't we?

Voice;

[beaconed]

Heh, I'm just playing around. [ He would have been amused if she tsun-ed as well, he's pretty clear on where they stand. Still, hopefully Shiho can hear his smile over the phone. ]

I'll come over tomorrow and we can go through some recipes. Believe it or not, I know my way around a kitchen! The only catch is you gotta get some sleep, okay?

Voice;

[good_ideas]

Then you should have just said. I was almost worried, you know. [But only kind of worried!!]

Are you trying to bargain with me, or something? [It's working though.]

Fine. I'll see you tomorrow, but you better get to sleep soon, too. And if we burn anything, we can just make Wallace hide it or something.
