⇌ Hey, this is Annie; leave a message! ⇌

▻ text | voice | video | action ◅

And leave you alone with him? Not a chance.

Then I'll stay out with you if you absolutely mustn't have me around. He prefers the solitude anyway.

I don't want him knowing where we live. And all right, yeah, so anyone can find out, it's not difficult. But then I don't want to invite him in and hand over the keys and leave him to it.

Why do you have to have help with cleaning anyways? Everything is fine.

No, everything is not fine, actually.

Do you know what I can't do anymore? Spend sit hours straight cleaning the place at any time of day or night. I actually have to take rests and eat and other living things. I'm not dead anymore you know, I don't have that endless staMina anymore.

So yes I would actually lIke a bit of Hal's help thus time. You might just have to get over it.

[He reads all of that, and feels a little bit like shit. Because this is Annie, because denying her help that she needs is unfair, because she shouldn't have to tidy up at all--because he owes her so much, for so many reasons.

But he still can't see just-- inviting Hal Yorke over.]

I'll do it.

[ Good. Feel like shit, Mitchell. You didn't stop to think what sort of life she'd be, literally, living this time around. Human have a lot of needs, and although she would love to go and have the stamina she'd had before, it just wasn't possible.

Not that she's knocking life again, it's just. Weird. On many accounts. ]

Will you actually? And not sit and whinge about it?

[I don't whinge he starts, and then deletes it. Better just give this one to her. What does it matter, really, right? And he could help out a bit, that would be-- manageable. Especially if it's a help to Annie.

(But, really: he doesn't whinge.)]

Yeah of course. Any of it. Make me a whole list, I'll work on it. Come on Annie, you know I'd do anything for you

[Because he really hasn't done much thinking about Annie as particularly not a ghost, because the alternative is acknowledging the very real life that she's got. It's not that he isn't happy for her. All that stuff she gets to do now? He's totally happy to see her happy. It's just that humanity comes with a lot of other... stuff. Like getting tired and, more worryingly, blood.

(But, really: he would never hurt Annie, not ever. And that's not debatable in the least bit.)]
