You've reached Athena Cykes.

I'm currently unavailable, but leave a message and I'll get back to you pronto.

Danke!

Well... something else happened at that time.

Are you going to tell me what happened?

Well...

Um, I got hit by a truck.

[ somehow, this is a lot easier than telling someone from her world. ]

[ He looks visibly disturbed, but she can't see it through the phone. He knew about the Simon part, but he'd seen Nanoha get hit by a vehicle and it wasn't pretty.

But Nanoha's got a lot of powers, and Athena has a power as well but she's still human, and, well-- ]

...I see.

[ athena plops down on her bed, and the sound of her hitting her pillows is probably audible. ]

... Yeah. That's- That's what happened.

[ He can hear it, and he can hear the tone in her voice. He doesn't blame her for it--it's a pretty horrific thing to happen. ]

You weren't the only one. I...saw it happen to someone else.

[ she isn't down about what had happened anymore, but she's still disturbed by it. death is one thing she fears, and it happened to her. but it's also helping her get rid of that fear. she just wishes she didn't die out of sheer stupidity, but for a better reason, instead. ]

Are you serious? [ a grumble. ] I wonder how many people were attacked by those ghosts... they were absolutely terrible. I'm glad they're gone.

Yeah. She made it out alive--thing is, she's not exactly "human."

[ Nanoha is a human in her own right, but a human with superpowers and that's probably why she'd survived. It still wasn't a pretty sight to see. ]

If it wasn't her, it would've been me. I was right behind her.

Even Ms Nanoha?

[ she covers her mouth with her palm in shock... but there's relief in her tone. she's glad that nanoha didn't die. ]

I'm sorry.

It wasn't her fault, nor was it yours.

I still feel bad, anyway...

I don't know how anyone could have stopped it, so don't waste your time feeling bad about it.

[ How to be Tactful 101 ]

I guess not... [ but still. ] Anyway, I'll talk to you later, Hak.

[ a pause. ]

Thanks for checking up on me.

What, did you think that I would just forget about you dying?

[ He says it jokingly, but the message is there all the same. ]

Anyway, have a safe talk with Mosley. Don't do anything dumb. We've done enough of that.
