Oi, this is Yuma! Er, this is not Yuma! I mean, this is a recital 'cos I'm not Yuma-- I mean--

Just leave a message, alright?!

Well, there was once, but it was really more repeating a simple "glub" in agreement with her.

But this is all entirely beside the point!

[soulbondee]

Uh-huh...

[Tweema is back to chirruping into the speaker in his stead.]

[glowsferatu]

[ the sound is both attracting and upsetting the cats. she is pretty much surrounded. ]

Well, do you intend to ask her?

[soulbondee]

I guess...

[glowsferatu]

Your enthused reaction is highly encouraging.

[soulbondee]

What?

[glowsferatu]

You're conveying the distinct impression that you'd rather not be her date. So, I return to my earlier inquiry: have I misread this situation? Would you prefer not to be her date? Perhaps have someone else assume that role in your stead?

[soulbondee]

D--Don't get the wrong idea! Feferi's great, but I don't know the first thing about dances.

[glowsferatu]

If it's any consolation, the one held on the previous year was my first exposure to this particular human ritual. It isn't too difficult to acclimate oneself to.

[soulbondee]

Uh-huh...

[glowsferatu]

I would recommend practicing care in a slower dance, of course. I hear that the risk of stepping on your partner's lower digits can be considerable.

[soulbondee]

Right...

[Kanaya
do you really trust that he has any idea what you're talking about]

[glowsferatu]

[ how she ever got the impression that anyone does is a mystery ]

Will you require proper attire for the occasion? [ why is she even asking? she'll need to make sure they match anyway! ] Nevermind, I'll prepare the proper garments, but I will require the necessary measurements.

[soulbondee]

Measurements?

[glowsferatu]

For the fit, of course. I can only make the slightest guesses at a glance, and that opens the possibility to far too many inaccuracies.

[soulbondee]

I don't think we have any rulers...

[glowsferatu]

How effective could I be in my profession if I didn't possess my own set of measuring tape?

[soulbondee]

Uh... [is he actually supposed to answer that]

[glowsferatu]

So, when would be the most convenient timeslot for us to accomplish this?

[soulbondee]

I dunno. I-- Tora, those aren't food!

[glowsferatu]

Uh...

[soulbondee]

[there's about ten seconds of delay -- foreground noise is the bird fiddling with the phone and cooing at it, and in the background is Yuma... arguing with the cat... a cat that meows in "tora"s...
some loud thumping
then:] Yo.

[glowsferatu]

Has your momentary crisis been averted?

[soulbondee]

Yeah, yeah, she was just hungry.

[glowsferatu]

Very well. Shall we schedule this matter, then?
