[Anthony's defaulting to his typical least-preferred method of communication for two reasons - text isn't quote-unquote enough for his peace of mind about now, and video is for another package of sub-reasons not ideal - at least to start with.

He doesn't have much of a voice for speaking on the phone. Still, the particular brand of apprehension he's got in it presently pulls it through to register relatively well - and he's loosely rehearsed this in his brain enough times for his tone to be evenly-cadenced and -pitched on the whole, if just a little hoarser than his usual natural, and restrained. All the same best to clear his mind on this, better sooner than later than never.]

Hello. -- This is Anthony. ...Janvier.

I -- spoke - about this before, but I -- ...thought I should - be clearer. About it. Now... -- I -- am - a zombie. So please -- ... [Trip here - second-guesses phrasing.] -- don't be alarmed - when I use the network. -- Anyone. -- It's... - unpleasant-looking -- I know. However -- I promise that it's safe.

-- I can, er -- [Also second-guesses and wrings and waffles over making this offer, but again, if wanted it'd be better sooner than later!] -- also show anyone, who'd like me to... if it may help.

... -- And if you're - one of the new ones - in this, er... - Transforming - hasn't been common... among pulses - or Echoes... -- It happens, but - it's -- normally in ways that aren't -- extreme -- like - hair and eyes changing color -- [Bumbles quickly and back to a higher pitch through this next as he has no idea if he's being presumptuous in saying it but it must be worth something - at least he'll not name names!] -- ...others are becoming "monster"-like but they're -- all - ..."safe", also.

Thank you. Uhm. -- And please excuse me.

[For any and every way in which that might have been a poor move - and alas what's done is done - he'll see if it'll have appeared to have at least been benign.]

[ oh, anthony. ): now that you aren't around the library she misses your apprehensive but studious nature.

which makes her wonder how long she'll be able to go about things... maybe she's luckier than she thought? ]

Let me know if you would like anything from the library. I can easily sign things out under your account and drop them off.

...ah, it's Miss Bainbridge. [ even while she sits there wondering who's who she forgets that people can't tell who she is either if she doesn't say or they don't know her writing. ]

[He does dare to take guesses as to just who this might be on processing the offer written in.

The continuation confirms - and he is practically thrilled with relief as he is grateful to have that offer.]

Hello, ma'am.

Although I have to decline if it isn't convenient, I am grateful that you would think of doing so... [Anyone going out of their way to get books from Point A to Point B as the possible excessive inconvenience, that is - even he isn't going to doubt that the process of signing out would be simple and non-controversial enough.] Thank you, Ms. Bainbridge!

Granted I have your permission to access your file, it's no trouble at all. [ a small pause here because how the heck do you refer to zombification ]

Until you have some means of moving about, I should hope some books will alleviate any boredom. I'm afraid it's about all I can offer, though.

Of course, Ms. Bainbridge. [As consent to have his file accessed, that is - he still isn't convinced it'd be no inconvenience - coming by John's or even Alex's as a proxy would be an amount of going out of the way - and on that note in connection to the last...]

I appreciate the offer very much. However, you do not have to do anything for me! I have been well-taken care of ever since this began. [Very intimidatingly so - he's been thankful among other things intensely.]

[ admittedly, it's a little bit guilt that has her offering, but it is concern, and it is a willingness to deflect from her own problems, so it's no trouble at all in her head. ]

I would feel better if you would let me do this, Anthony.

And please. Feel free to call me Reilanin. We are all approaching common ground rather quickly.
