[call to Daniel]

[She would've just texted, but she wants to make sure he got her message and had time to react to it. She starts speaking immediately as the phone is picked up.]

Hello, Daniel? It's Lucy.

I, uh -

[He considers, gnawing on his lip, then nods before remembering that motion doesn't really translate over the phone.]

Uh, yeah, yeah I do. I've got a place for next month, and I know someone who'll help me out until then. But, um, thanks.

[essentiallyharmless]

[She nods to herself, relieved. Inconvenient but not a crisis, then. She won't ask who.]

That's good. Let me know if you run into any trouble, alright?

[peacefulexplorer]

Thank you. I, I will.

[A short pause, then his tone softens.]

And thank you, for everything you've done.

[essentiallyharmless]

[Her smile is evident in her voice as she answers.]

My pleasure, honey.

[peacefulexplorer]

[He grins back, though it soon fades when he starts scanning the apartment for any necessities he may have missed in his anticipatory packing.]

All right, well. Take care.

[After a brief hesitation, he hangs up.]
