[She's not just going to text. She's not. She can't. Not after last night. Not after...all of that. Rei straight up calls him, no preamble, as soon as she manages to find her head and get it clear.
Ring, ring, ring. And as soon as he answers he'll hear her voice, or...if it goes to voicemail she's leaving a voicemail.]
Yosuke, please please please tell me you're alright.
[The ringing of his cellphone wakes him, groggily reaching over to grab it and look at who was calling him. It's Rei, so he answers and barely gets a hello out before she starts talking.]
I am now...at least I think so. [He's still not sure.] Nothing weird happened to you, did it?
[Rei's voice cracks, relief spilling out of her. He's okay, he's...okay...]
Yosuke, god. I'm fine, I'm completely fine. But I was so worried. Oh my god. [Her words creak, emotion leaking out, but thankfully she holds back tears.]
[He can't bring himself to say it. He didn't know what was going on, other than he was drifting farther and farther away until he lost consciousness.]
I don't get it either. Lesedi saved us, somehow... [He doesn't sound like he's completely together, like he's still weak and trying to put the pieces together.]
[Rei's voice hitches, emotions overwrought. This is upsetting and troubling and it's ten thousand kinds of messed up. When she does finish her sentence, it's almost a whisper, like she's afraid of someone hearing...]
If I hadn't seen it with my own two eyes, I wouldn't believe it.
[A wizard, though he finds it cheesy, really isn't so far off from what he was thinking.]
You only see that kind of freaky shit in the movies...why's it happening in real life? I don't even want to go near her, I'm afraid she'll make me another scratch in the wall or something.
[She lets herself relax a little, sinking into a chair on the patio.]
I...definitely want to avoid Blanche too. I mean...his reaction was less violent? But colder somehow. I know he wouldn't hesitate, if he thought I was...going to do something.
It shouldn't, sweetie, but it is. I'm scared too, but they don't want to hurt us or they would've. They want us to play music, and I don't know about you but I enjoy that.
[There's a distinct pause. She has more she wants to say...but she figures the phones are monitored, so...she plays the good girl. She doesn't want to draw attention to herself or to him. That's not smart.]
We'll figure things out. Don't worry. Just have a little faith, okay? I know that's probably asking a lot right now given what happened but everything will work out. I have a good feeling about that.
[She might put a slight emphasis on the last statement, too. She'd had a feeling last night, and he'd trusted her.]
...Thanks, Rei. I'll do my best not to disappoint.
[He's still a little skeptical however, given the events from the night before. He's not sure why everything has suddenly turned to shit, but that's what it was and he wonders if it's only a matter of time before he has a hand through his chest.]
Though, I don't know how much faith I can have right about now, but when you put it like that...
[He sighs. It was cute. She was cute. It helps restore some kind of steadiness in him, but there's too much to think about to just blindly believe.]
[There's an audible noise of delight, not quite a giggle, not quite a laugh from her.]
I'm sure you'll do fine. And I know you and I? We'll be alright.
[And then she takes a breath, long, slow...because there's something else on her mind. A seed planted last night, nurtured by the various older women in her life...and...yeah. She's got some thoughts in her head. Not related to the horrors, just something to keep her mind off it.
They've already faced seemingly mortal danger, so it's less hard and embarrassing to ask.]

Do you...have plans for Christmas Eve, Yosuke?
no subject
[He'd welcome that. It would be nice, to be able to not have to worry about all this for a night and relax. He hopes he can relax.]
no subject
[There's a low laugh, almost a purr. She has some definite ideas.]
An evening with just the two of us sounds like exactly what we need to keep our minds off the trouble.
no subject
[Exciting is great and all, but watching someone get murdered and almost dying is not.]
no subject
[Can he hear the smirk in her words?]
Just be ready. I'll make reservations and pick you up this time.
no subject
Oho, a surprise? I can't wait! Hey, but if you're making reservations to a restaurant...nothing with fish, please?
