16th Howl [Audio, Midday Monday the 24th]

[professorwolf]

[Lyall sounds exhausted and a little pained when he comes onto the network, this afternoon.]

Well. Whoever guessed "werewolf" got it right.

Does anyone know anything about installing sturdier windows? I believe I may have broken one last night, and I'd prefer not to do that again in the future. Or indoor solid oak doors perhaps?

[And by "believe he may", he means "most defintiely did even though I don't remember it clearly". Not enough to get out, thank heavens, but even then he's not entirely sure he could have gotten very far. He doesn't remember much, just that he spent the whole time angry and in pain.

The latter part is still hanging around, obviously.]

[Lyall shakes his head, invisibly, on the other end. And winces. Ugh, stop moving, idiot....]

It still sounds harrowing. Are you getting out at all? With a hoodie or something?

[Staying indoors all the time also sounds kind of depressing.]

[Audio]

[scramasax]

A little... Yes, sir. -- In the evening... ...It's - been fine. [Trying not to sound a bit cowed.]

[professorwolf]

[He just wants to make sure his student is looked after properly, that's all! He trusts Aaron, sure, but Aaron isn't a teacher and doesn't know what kids need, right? Right.]

Good. Good, I'm glad. You shouldn't be shut up all the time, it's not good for you.

[Audio]

[scramasax]

-- I know, sir. Thank you... I'm - glad that you're glad.

[There - open-ended again! Hasty yet emphatic:]

...But what about you; you -- don't need anything - do you?

[Audio]

[professorwolf]

Prescription strength painkiller?

[He chuckles weakly at that.]

Hajime's bringing me by something to eat, and besides that, I can't think of anything. I just need to rest up, and I'll be all right.

[Audio]

[scramasax]

All right, sir... [Again a bit resigned - but he is trying to be reassuring. It's appreciable - a good sign, even, probably. Hopefully.] And -- thank you again... -- for worrying about me.

[Although he's been worried about, his matters haven't changed, this call was for Mr. Lyall, and he half-wishes he wasn't thankful for the worry, that it'd stop - all the same it doesn't and there's nothing to do but be constantly grateful for constant concern.]
