voicemail; backdated all the way to the day just after reckoning

[topslug]

[ somehow, in all the excitement, she'd forgotten to do what was most important: namely, to thank him. ]

Mister Gilbert?

I'm sorry for not doing it sooner, but I wanted to thank you for coming the other day. [ She pauses. ] You went quite a bit out of your way, so I wanted to show you my appreciation. I can't offer much, but I can offer a meal, at least. Let me know when your schedule is available.

[invoking]

[ Oh, this is certainly a surprise. After he settles back into the house, he picks up the phone and calls Yako back. ]

call

[topslug]

[ She picks up on the third ring, after checking who it is. ]

Mister Gilbert? Did you get my message?

call

[invoking]

Hello, Miss Yako. [ He says first, not wanting to be rude. ] I did. How are you feeling?

call

[topslug]

[ The concern is just like him, so she has to smile. ]

I'm doing much better now. Thank you. [ Not a lot of things good food and good rest won't cure... ] What about you?

call

[invoking]

I'm alright.

Ah... Miss Yako, you don't need to do anything in return.

call

[topslug]

Mister Gilbert, if I came for you when you were in a besieged building and helped you get home, would you really be all right with leaving it at just a "thank you"?

perma...call 1/2

[invoking]

[invoking]

Ah, I suppose not...

[topslug]

There, you see?

So I'd like to be able to do you a favor in return, if only a small one.

[invoking]

Well... alright. But don't overdo it.

[topslug]

I won't. [ Her smile is audible. ] That's why I'm asking you what you'd like.

[invoking]

What I'd like? [ He's confused!! ] Ah...

[topslug]

I mean, what would be the best way for me to repay the favor? I'm not sure what would be best, so I was just thinking about GETTIN you dinner or something.

[invoking]

[ He actually doesn't want anything, but it seems Yako won't stop until he says something. ]

Dinner would be fine, then.

FUQ U RANDOM CAPS

[topslug]

You can go ahead and pick a restaurant and a day, then. Unless you'd rather have me cook for you, I mean.

don't yell at gil yako :[

[invoking]

You don't need to waste your money. [ ... ] What I mean is I'd be glad to try your cooking instead.

she only yells when she's fulfilling her role as a shonen manga protagonist...

[topslug]

Then, what's your favorite thing to eat?

[invoking]

[ He doesn't have a particular favourite food. ]

I'm fine with anything you decide to cook.

[topslug]

[ She makes a soft hum under her breath, more thoughtful than dissatisfied. ]

All right. You don't mind me using your kitchen, do you?

[invoking]

You'd like to come over for it?

[topslug]

Unless you'd prefer to come to the MAC.

1/2

[invoking]

[ No. ]

[invoking]

[ Not if those chickens are still around. ]

My place it is, then. When would you like to come over?

[topslug]

[ Well, her hand's probably going to be in no condition to cook anything until she's gotten a little more used to it, but sooner is probably better, isn't it? ]

I could drop by on Sunday, the second. Unless you have other plans?

Or... [ She trails off, then laughs. ] We could wait for my wrist to get better.
