"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]"

[ oh shit.......... what's the right answer here?????

????

help. ]

I... don't know.

[ THAT IS NOT AN ANSWER ]

...Don't.

[Man, now she just sounds slightly exasperated and more than a little annoyed. She should have known calling him would result in something like this.]

Anyway, you said "too"... So you are feeling it, as well? Do you recall anything weird happening before you realized the chill?

[ Her annoyance just flies over his head as they move on, though the nickname was more of a tryhard persona thing than something regular anyway. No, in reality, he's more concerned about her symptoms right now. ]

How weird are we talking about here? I haven't had a normal time since day one! This city's crazy...! Are you okay, though? You mentioned something about sight, too.

[...Well, at least she agrees with him on one point.]

Anything stranger than usual. A glitch, or something in ViViD, perhaps...

I'm fine. It's just a little chill. [No it's not--! But she seems more frustrated about the next bit.] But the young master's eyesight has been affected. I... do not think I am comforted to know that these symptoms are not confined to us.

I see...

....

........

I'm sorry, did you... did you just say "young master"?

That's right.

[Has she mentioned those words around him before? She feels like she has, but it's so natural for her to say that she doesn't really think about it.]

Young master Fuyuhiko. Have you met him, yet?

.... That angry neighbour of yours?!

Wait, what?? Did I miss something here?

[ He missed a lot of things, yes. ]

[Ah yes.]

That would likely be him, yes.

[The smallest, angriest neighbor. She sees they've met.]

As he is the heir to the Kuzuryuu Family, those of us within the syndicate refer to him as young master.

[Without a doubt, she's lumping herself in with whatever this "Kuzuryuu Family" is. And syndicate, wow, what a shady word.]

He said he's known you for a long time, but I never thought it was like a master-servant relationship... [ He trails off in thought for a second, until something else clicks. ]

...it's him, isn't it? The one you really like?

I... wouldn't call it that...

[Oh no, now she sounds uncomfortable at the sound of "master-servant"-- at least, for a second. Then she's into full-on protest.]

T-that's--!! Where would you get that idea!?

[Who does she really like!? There's no one! Like that! At all!!]

Edited 2015-07-31 04:18 (UTC)

You said you had feelings for somebody! That was the truth, wasn't it? I mean, okay, he's a bit grumpy and hard to keep up with... but I get it! Well, no... but I get that you get him probably!

[ It's not like Jaune has never liked someone who's difficult and perpetually pissed off, present company excluded. ]

Am I wrong...?

It is the truth, but...!

[Hhhh--! Don't make her admit it aloud! Admitting to Hinata that her "childhood friend she'd like to ask out on a date" is actually Kuzuryuu was hard enough, and Hinata's gotten all six hope shards!]

Nngh...

[Just lets out a weird noise without answering further (which really is an answer in and of itself...)]

[ Oh Peko you precious murderer, even if Jaune can't date her it doesn't mean he can't find it cute. He's really going to have to help her someday, when they're not dying from this weird CERES disease, because nobody knows the pain of one-sided courtship better than him. In the meantime... ]

Okay.

[ He'll spare her the discomfort for now, given their circumstances. She did consider him valuable enough for a phone call, so he won't waste her time. ]

What do you need me to do, Peko? We'll figure this weird coldness thing out before it gets worse.

[Bless him. This is so much better of a conversation topic.]

Keep me appraised of your status, and do your best to keep warm.

[At least she does care about him a little, in her own Peko fashion.]

...And be careful. Though you cannot feel temperature, your skin can still be burned.

Got it! I'll text you every two hours!

[ that's probably not what she meant... as for her warning ] --wait, did you... You didn't burn yourself, did you?

That's fine.

[It'd do well enough for her purposes, anyway. Calls every two hours would be intrusive, but texts are fine.]

It was only a small burn. The young master has bandaged it for me.

You're kinda prone to getting hurt a lot, aren't you? [ And that's sad, coming from Jaune Arc. ]

Hey, Peko...

I do not normally get injured like this.

[Weird things need to stop injuring her-!]

But what is it?

Thanks... y'know, for checking in on me and stuff. I-I know you probably called a million other people about it, but... it still means a lot, okay?

[ Nobody else really called him about it, and he expected Peko to have the least amount of reason given the huge misunderstanding between them. ]

Not a million.

[She really doesn't know that many people, Jaune... Peko is not as popular as he seems to think she is.]

But I suppose... you're welcome.

[He had stopped by to see her when she was injured in the hospital, and even if he'd had the completely wrong idea, it was still a thoughtful gesture.]

Edited 2015-08-04 03:15 (UTC)

Stay warm, Peko!

A-And if you ever need to cuddl--bye Peko-- [ He hangs up before he can finish his sencentce. That was close..!!! But how else can he help Peko? This is gonna take gone some time... ]
