The call only rang twice before it was answered with a bright “Hey, good morning Declan!” from Aoba, set to a backdrop of the sounds of the city.
Aoba waited for Declan to speak after that, then answered with a smile to the screen floating above his Coil. “I’m okay! Did you find my note? I went and saw Tess like I said…and you were right, too. She can really be stubborn when she wants something, huh? Well she didn’t take Ren but she did take the clothes I wanted to get rid of, and I talked to her about that courier offer, too. That was about an hour ago, Ren and I have just been exploring some since then.”
He paused briefly, then added more sheepishly, “We’re on our way back now. I woke up with a small headache and it’s not getting any better. Don’t worry about me, though. If you need to work, go on and go. I’ll just lie down with my headphones like I usually do.”
Except for the part where he was out of medication, and he wasn’t about to bother asking Declan what people in the future took for headaches. His had never responded to any medication but the special formula Granny had developed for him, after all.
