I--

[Abigail has to steel herself. Because she needs to say it. Needs to own it. She's already made her mind up. Now, she has to stick to it.

Which means she has to tell people.]

I am.

As long as we're scattered, we can't do anything. We'll be picked off with no one to say a word.

So... we have to unite.

[And she couldn't ask someone else to lead what is her idea.]

And-- [She tries to laugh.] Yeah. I know I sound mental.

[emotioneater]

When I thought you'd do something t'help them out, I didn't think you meant anything quite this big. 'N you're right. You do sound mental.

[Still, she has courage and he can respect that.]

I can't speak for the rest of my nest, but I'll throw my full support behind you when the time comes. For whatever that's worth to you.

[acrookedchild]

[Nests. Packs. Covens.

No one had ever taught her to expect to see this many similarities with the other groups. To feel such kinship with them all. But it's there none the less.]

Thank you. That--

That really means a lot to me.

I'm... not planning anything dramatic for awhile. So, hopefully you won't need to for a long time.

[emotioneater]

It's no trouble. I wouldn't be much of a person if I didn't stick by people when they needed me.

[His rash words will probably come back to bite him in the ass eventually. He means them all the same.]

Let me know if anything comes up, girlie. I'm always happy to help out a friend.

[acrookedchild]

Thanks. Even just-- Just for talking to me. It really helps.

[She can, at least, breathe a little more easily now. Try to tell herself this isn't completely insane.]

[emotioneater]

Think nothing of it. I'm just good at listening 'n talking, I suppose.

[He'd learned how to perfect the art of it over several lifetimes.]

[acrookedchild]

I appreciate it. Really.

[But it's late. At least for her. So, she smiles a little as she says:]

I'll let you go.

Thanks again.

Don't be a stranger, okay?

[emotioneater]

Of course not. My life would settle down too much if I kept to myself. G'night, Abigail.

[He hung up, strangely feeling better about Abigail's position then he had in any of their previous conversations.
