[The phone call actually wakes him up. He's been dealing with keeping a newborn vampire contained for the past few nights and it is an exhausting task. Besides which, it's also wrecked havoc on his sleeping schedule. Abby is greeted with a fuzzy-sounding:]

Hello?

[acrookedchild]

Hey, Cooper.

[She's got a bit of energy to her voice, but actually having him pick up the phone means it wavers just a little.]

Am I bothering you?

[emotioneater]

No, no. I'm--

[He lets out a huge yawn and rubs at his eyes.]

--I'm up and about. What's going on, girlie?

[acrookedchild]

I--

I'm having a party. July first. At night. I wanted to invite you personally.

It's-- [A deep breath in and a small sigh.] I'll be announcing a coven for Circle Midnight.

[emotioneater]

[That makes him sit up a little bit straighter. Looks like there's important stuff going on.]

I'll be there, don't you worry none. Can't very well say how the rest of Islington will react, though.

[acrookedchild]

I've sent a formal invitation to the nest.

[It was only right, not to go through just one member. But to send it officially elsewhere, too.]

But I wanted to contact you myself.

[emotioneater]

Aw, makes me feel all wanted and such.

[Beneath his light tone is a genuine note of approval and happiness.]

[acrookedchild]

I'm not making the 'coven' part known on the invitation, but I figured I'd give you the heads up.

[Because he already knew she was going to do it, and, well. Having him there and aware of the situation made her feel a little safer.]

[emotioneater]

Save a bottle of champagne for me. We'll use it to toast your inevitable success.

[It was better than considering the alternative, which was a scary thought indeed.]

[acrookedchild]

I'll be sure to.

[She can't help but laugh a little.]

Later, I'll have to introduce you to my new sisters. We're... keeping their names quiet. I don't want them to be dragged into this.

Not yet. Not until we're sure it's safe.

[emotioneater]

Safe is a relative term in this situation.

[A coven of dark witches is in no way going to be safe as long as Circle Daybreak is in power.]

But I look forward t'meeting them. Hope they're all as pretty as you.

[He wonders if that's caused her to blush.]

[acrookedchild]

[It's very effective in making her blush, and she giggles a little into the phone while trying to hide it.]

I look forward to introducing you.

[emotioneater]

I'll see you then. Better let you go now. You've probaby got six different things you're going t'need to do to prepare for this shindig.
