"Chicken?"

"That's me. How are you princess?"

"Don't you 'how are you me'!"

"What should I say?"

"You should explain your weird phone call to me like a normal human being would"

"I guess I'm not normal"

"Chicken!"

"What?!"

"Stop playing around and start talking"

"There's nothing to talk about"

"Oh really?"

"Yes really"

"Okay fine since there is nothing to talk about then I should just hang up"

"You wouldn't"

"Try me"

"..."

"My finger is dangerously close to the end call button..."

"Fine. I'm going through some shit that I can't explain at the moment. Are you happy now?"

"Are you swearing? Aren't you the one who always scolds me for almost swearing?"

"That's not the same thing"

"... you scared me you know?"

"What? I can't hear you princess, speak up"

"I'm saying that you scared me"

"With what?"

"That phone call a few days ago? ... Your voice, you sounded like you were in pain and when you yelled like that... I thought... I thought you got hurt or were going to die or something"

"Believe me I thought the same thing"

"What?"

"Just mumbling to myself baby girl. I'm sorry I worried you princess, it wasn't my intention"

"I know"

"You know... it makes me a bit guilty that I'm kinda happy that you were worried about me"

"Why?"

"...Because it shows you care"

"...I-- I do, you've grown on me"

"I care about you too"

"Really?"

"Yeah, you've grown on me too, like being a major pain in the butt"

"Please. That's your job"

"Being a major pain in the butt?"

"Yeah ... look I'm really glad you're okay"

"Yeah... me too"

"You sound hesitant"

"Ever the knowing Asanda. I don't sound hesitant"

"You do but I'm gonna be the bigger person and let it go to avoid unnecessary arguments"

"Atta girl, you know you wouldn't win an argument with me"

"Whatever you say chicken"

"Mr King its time"

"... I have to go baby girl"

"Um... okay... are you-- are you going to call later on this evening?"

"I can't-- I'll call you, when I have the chance to"

"... And when will that be?"

"I don't know princess... but I promise, as soon as I get a chance I'll call you"

"Okay b--"
