[ Allison sounds kind of pensive, and she's actually hesitated asking this question directly on the network in the first place, but at the same time, she wants an answer and isn't sure anyone from home can give it to her. If she's going to worry them anyway, she might as well get one, right? ]

So, how does time work here? Back home, it was November, and I've been here at least three jumps... so I guess it would be.. [ She counts silently for a second. ] March? Which means I missed my birthday. Is that how it works?

[ She goes to end the call, but doesn't end it before people can hear her mumble: ]

I never thought I'd get to see it.

Man I can't believe I forgot I'll have to raid the bar.

You're cool with a belated birthday right?

audio.

[overdraws]

Yeah, sure. [ She sounds... well, she actually sounds a little unsure, but. She can't say no to her friends. ] Don't get in trouble, though.

audio.

[de_void]

Nah, it's not my first time, don't worry.

audio.

[overdraws]

I'm almost scared to ask.

audio.

[de_void]

[a slight pause before his next answer.] ... I had a little trouble sleeping when I first showed up here.

[he doesn't have to explain why.]

audio.

[overdraws]

[ He doesn't. Allison softens. ] I'm sorry.

audio.

[de_void]

Hey no, I don't need any apologies from you. Especially since you're the birthday girl. I mean, I don't need apologies from you at all, birthday or no birthday...

[stiles takes a breath.] It's fine. It got better.

Re: audio.

[overdraws]

Good. That it got better. I'm glad.

audio.

[de_void]

[a laugh] Yeah well, I didn't want to give these people the satisfaction.

audio.

[overdraws]

[ Confused: ] Of what?

audio.

[de_void]

Of keeping me down for long. [because first it was the nogitsune stuff. but we was used to that. then it was arima. then getting lost in the hallways.]

audio.

[overdraws]

You're never down for long, Stiles.

[de_void]

It's a tenacity that comes from a lifetime of being at the bottom of the food chain, Allison. [he's giving the comm a thumbs up right now. because he maybe forgot that it's only audio.]

audio.

[overdraws]

If you're giving a thumbs up, I can't see it.

[ She sounds amused, though. ]

audio.

[de_void]

You could hear it though. I am impressed, Ms. Argent.

audio.

[overdraws]

I just know you.

audio.

[de_void]

That can't possibly be a bad thing.

audio.

[overdraws]

I don't know if I'd go that far, but.

audio.

[de_void]

We're one step away from telekinesis Allison and then we can start our own X-men team.

audio.

[overdraws]

That's a good thing, right?

[ she only saw the first movie stiles ]

audio.

[de_void]

As long as we pretend the third movie never happened, yeah.

audio.

[overdraws]

I don't think I saw the third one.

audio.

[de_void]

Then we're golden, Allison.

audio.

[overdraws]

Was it bad?

audio.

[de_void]

It never happened Allison.
