she's well aware of the hour -------------- and the back and forth about it with an AI wasn't the way she wanted to be spending said hour, especially when all she wanted to do was shower and sleep for the next several years at least.

despite the impromptu argument ( and the absolute non - stop pounding in her head ) she'd been let through the gate, and makes her way out of her car and up to the door; immediately opting to lean against the wall. ( the stitch in her side that's lead her here is probably a cracked rib and not a cramp, but she's got enough to worry about at the moment without adding taking a full inventory of all the ways she feels like garbage. )

it takes more effort than she would like to press the button and wait for the familiar buzz ----------- her mind bouncing back and forth between the idea that maybe @t0nystrk's actually asleep at this hour ( not likely, but she can hope ) and attempting to figure out the best way to mask the exhaustion and how uncomfortable she truly is in her voice when he answers.

"hey, it's me." her voice cracks; she's not off to the best start on the whole playing this like she isn't hurt thing. "it's late, i know. sorry." she pauses to lick her lips, another moment taken to try and smooth her words out while she dabs at the wet, heavy feeling directly under her nose. the cut on her cheek pinches something fierce the more she continues to talk ------------- whatever attempts at mitigating the damage her body had taken on its own rendered moot.

"would it be alright if i borrowed a couple bandaids?"

she’s well aware of the fact she’s three days overdue for this phone call, but she hasn’t exactly been in a situation where she could simply ‘check - in’ ----------------- so she isn’t all that surprised when she’s got the sound of @t0nystrk’s phone ringing keeping her company while she takes one final inventory of her to - go bag so she can finally start the long trip back home.

-------------- and when he does eventually pick up, any agreement that she deserved listening to phone ring again and again ( probably just shy of her having to leave a voicemail which he knows she’s never been good at; a tiny sliver of grace she’s getting that she doesn’t deserve ) gets quickly forgotten when she hears him say her name. “ooooh, i know that tone ------ that’s the ‘ i’m gonna get it later ’ tone, isn’t it ------- ” she switches from holding the phone to pinning it to her shoulder with her cheek so she can have both hands free to zip up the remaining open pockets on her bag.

❛ if you called just to get off on my voice, i’m hanging up. ❜

done with the zipper she can concentrate on holding her phone once again, “you know what, i am so regretting saying i thought you sounded incredibly hot on the phone last time,” he’ll have to use his imagination to picture the face she pulls that accompanies the audible groan ---------- the dresser mirror she’s currently standing in front of will, unfortunately, be the only one benefitting from a visual.

“that’s what i get for calling you at 3am when i can’t sleep,” there’s also a part of her that wants to blame it on the jet lag she’d been fighting through, ( and not the part of her that missed him ) but it’s a flimsy excuse at best if left to stand all on its own.

“does that mean i shouldn’t plan on coming by when my plane gets in later?”
