[ Anathema had stared at her communicator for far too long, waiting a while before accepting that a text response isn't coming, or if it is, it's delayed. She worries, for a moment, that she might have pressed too far, made too light of it.
When the phonecall comes, it's not really a surprise, and it's also a relief. She answers quickly. Listens solemnly, even past the hiss of the wind (she's pretty sure Sal's flying again). Feels a smile curl at the corner of her mouth. ]
Yeah. Preparation is half the battle. We were big on knowledge in my family, my life. So— I appreciate it, Salazanca.
I keep finding myself wanting to be ready for whatever the next thing this place will throw at us, but there's really no being ready for it, I think. So in the meantime: you're a good person to have in my corner, and I'm glad that you are.
