[She chooses not to be presumptuous. Perhaps uncharacteristic of her. She has learned by now that pushing Somnus does not result in anything good. If he says no, he means no firmly. It's not a flexibility type of situation with him. And honestly, she really is very content knowing that he's simply still alive.
The irony in that does not escape her somewhat bitter amusement.]
I actually just wanted to check in on you. As I do like to do with people I know from time to time.
I ask for all kinds of stuff. I just don't normally include the 'looking for a distraction' part as a reason.
[He's very blunt. Straight forward. It's something she both does and doesn't like about him. But she supposes that's why she's the softer one between the two of them, so he doesn't have to be.]
I just need to be able to breathe some air that isn't at my house or at the flower shop. With someone who probably isn't going to pry into me, assuming anything gets said at all.
[ Going to her carries a risk he's not willing to take unless absolutely necessary. He needs to know from what peril she suffers. Unfortunately, this means prying. Is it the flu? A fae-curse? He knows not, but he's stayed on the line this long. ]

'I could really use a distraction.'

This is the first you have asked for anything. What wounds you?

Never mind, Somnus. I'm content with knowing that you're still here. I'm going to go, but thank you for at least answering your phone.

Okay, now it's off. ]
