[Ellie clicks on the console. While those who don't know her might think she looks like a normal 14 year old, those that do know her can tell she's trying to distract herself.

She rubs her nose as she ponders how to start this, before thinking that maybe she should even just cut the feed off. But, hell, she made it this far.

Her arm is bandaged up in a rough sling-- something she did herself.]

Sooo... I guess we can talk about what the fuck just happened, or we can talk about something better. Like, okay, I've had some of the kedan read to me?

Guys, guys. Their stories are fucking hilarious. I'm not even sure how someone gets engaged 12 times on accident, but there's a story for that.

And there's a story about the guy who had a huge case of mistaken identity, and owed a stupid amount of debt because someone pretended to be him when gambling.

... And a huge amount of these end up being romance stories.

Don't even fucking ask me.

[she shrugs and offers a little grin]

I asked if there was any stuff about someone pissing off a monster, or going to outer space, but nope. Nothing. Nada.

How fucking weird is that?

Yeah, gotta make use of the time I get in the library. It's a pain in the ass, since I have to kill lizards and name 'em for it, but it's time all the same.

[she pauses, and then glances down at her arm and then looks up, a bit more animated]

Oh, this? This is from fighting a god damn mile long dragon.

See if you can borrow an art book for me?

[She's teasing. And then she visibly winces.] Holy Shit, Ellie. You were there? Do you need anything?

[Now she feels like an asshole for staying on the turtle and getting drunk.]

Yeah, right. Evandau was stingy as fuck with our original agreement, I feel like that'd just get me kicked out period.

[she slows down though, and shakes her head]

Nah, Tess was with me. She helped me out. I'll figure out what to do until this heals, though.

Well, that sucks. [Libraries are one of Julie's favorite places. She knows a zombie with a pretty epic book collection, even if he can't read.]

You take care of that arm, Ellie. You know where to find me if you need anything. Even help with hunting.

The hunting is the part I'm worried about.

I got some extra cash from... a friend, but I don't know how long that's really gonna last.

We'll figure it out. I'll help however you need me to. Sound good?

Yeah, that sounds good to me.

[that gets a small smile out of her]

And food. Clearly, we have to go get tons of take-out to stuff your fridge with.

[she grins a bit wider—food was a great distractor]

You know I would never turn down free food. Hell, maybe not even not free food, depending on what it is.

Just name a time and a place and I'll be there, kiddo.

Hmm. Tomorrow, at the noodle shop?

[Grinning. Julie's starting to feel a bit better, now that Ellie's own demeanor seems to have shifted some.]

Sounds like a plan. Also, remind me tomorrow to hunt down some canvas? I want to try to make targets for archery.

We can take care of that all at once, yeah. I'll remind you, don't worry.
