[Vanessa's half turned away from the console when she turns the video on. Multitasking is a lifesaver, honestly. Her fingers are moving over the keyboard sitting next to her, playing a soft melody that's almost like a lullaby. She is a good egg mommy, okay. Turtle-baby needs pretty music.] I don't how it's possible that our items end up in this universe, but I have to say, this is way cheaper than saving my pennies for a piano or something. I can write all the music I want, but it's not the same as listening to it.

[Her fingers keep moving even as she glances up at the screen with a small grin.] Which means that I put the extra bit of juulan I had set aside to a good cause. For those of you who were interested - and anyone new! - I put down a payment for a building in Water to use for the outreach program. We can meet there. [Because the kedan in Water are still hero worshipping her, and she got a place really cheap. It's not the best, but hey. She can't argue with cheap.]

If you don't know what I'm talking about, a couple of months ago, we stumbled on this totally gross drug called Dust. And we want to help the people who are addicted, if you think that might be something you're interested in. You know, helping people, saving Asti, stopping Mally. Heroic things. [She goes quiet for a second, biting her lip.] We can meet and talk about where to start soon.

[She shakes her head.] Been there, done that, and I've kind of learned my lesson about doing whatever to feel better in an impossible situation. [Like getting cockblocked by a demon who's into romance.]

What about you? You taking any risks that normally seem dumb?

[He's not sure that's entirely what he meant, but he accepts her reply all the same. When she turns it around on him, his muscles naturally tense and he scowls a little at her. Costigan takes a long sip of his coffee just to make a point, then actually smiles as he responds, in on some private joke.]

Sure, yeah. All the time.

[Vanessa raises her eyebrows at him.] Well, if you're aware of it, I guess that's a start. [Doing dumb things is bad.]

[He shrugs, maintaining his smile sincerely.] Occupational hazard. But mostly, I'm old enough that I usually know what dumb ideas are worth the risk.

I think that can come at any age. It just depends on what kind of risk you're taking. [She gives a small smile in return.] Or it's just easier to tell ourselves that some risks are worth taking.

Maybe. Guess we'll find out.
