voicemail.

[coastal]

[Following the "record your voicemail at the beep" message--]

What? Who gave you the right to order me around? -- W-Wait, was that the beep?

I wasn't prepared--!! [a whispered hiss:] How do you get this thing to stop-?!

[Beep!

You know the drill! IC Inbox for voice/video/action threads for whatever occasion.]

TURNING RED, TURNING SO RED.]

Your... counsel is appreciated.

[Embarrassing............ but then Lili's waving a hand - ]

N-Now come, you should get something as well!

[mombastic]

One of those scarves, you think? I was debating maybe something darker, like magenta...

action;

[coastal]

Magenta would look good on you - perhaps a print? You wear such solid colors...

[Be a little flashy, Mom.]

action;

[mombastic]

Doctors aren't allowed to look terribly exciting. But I suppose I could try a print or two.

[ When she's off-duty! ]

action;

[coastal]

[Are you ever off-duty, Otome.

Still though, Lili's content with that as she goes to poke through the scarves and - immediately goes for the "or two".

Holding up this and this!]

Ooh, what of these?

action;

[mombastic]

[ No, she's really not. ]

Oh...! The designs are lovely, aren't they? [ Look at that purple one, whoa-- ]

action;

[coastal]

Yes, I thought so too.

[Lili has an eye for this sort of thing....]

Does this one suit your tastes?

[Lifting up the purple one!]

action;

[mombastic]

I don't really have much in this color... but it might be fun to find something it would go with.

[ It's really pretty, after all. ]

action;

[coastal]

Complementing can be just as effective as matching.

[A nod! And without even looking at the price tag, a chipper:]

Let's buy it.

action;

[mombastic]

... Well. I guess that's something for both of us.

[ Scarves shouldn't be too expensive... ]

action;

[coastal]

Well it should be even. I'm taking up your time, after all.

[Still though, she's not going to hesitate to wander over to the cashier now!]

action;

[mombastic]

Please don't say it like this is something I'd find inconvenient. [ a tone of mild reproach. ] I happen to like spending time with you.

[EVEN WITH THE SCOLDING

HER EYES LIGHT UP]

Really?

[it's a little pathetic]

action;

[mombastic]

Really! I wouldn't lie about it.

Re: action;

[coastal]

O-Of course not, that's not what I meant to imply--

[FUSSING?? aaaa don't be mad, mom]

It's just.... surprising.

[who would have fun with someone as grumpy and difficult as her?]

action;

[mombastic]

If it is, we've really got to work on getting you out more...

[ Not a bad idea. ]

action;

[coastal]

I.... I get out plenty now!

[Now.

If anything... the idea of being dragged around more makes her a little exhausted.]

action;

[mombastic]

Not so much before, then?

action;

[coastal]

[ . . . well.]

I didn't care to have friends or anything like that. It just... wasn't a priority!

action;

[mombastic]

I see... but now you're making friends all over the place, aren't you?

action;

[coastal]

[WTF STOP BEING EMBARRASSING]

W-What?! No, not that either!

action;

[mombastic]

No? That's surprising.

[ Truly. ]

action;

[coastal]

What...? How?

[She knows she's a difficult person, Otome?!]

action;

[mombastic]

You're a very sweet girl, once you let others know you a little better.

action;

[coastal]

[asd;lfkj

That manages to get her face to light up in embarrassment, her hands actually coming up to cover it.]

That's... No, that's not true at all!
