( it has been a few days, and neuvillette is still getting used to the use of instantaneous communication — one of the marvels of this place. there is no need for one to wait for correspondences, and he finds himself fascinated by the remarkable way one can simply turn on a device and hear wriothesley's voice. or see another. or receive telegrams immediately. )
Ah, Wriothesley. Hello.
( simply remarkable. he lifts the device from his ear briefly, inspecting it before putting it back to his ear again. his tone is warm, but he shifts when he picks up on that subtle thread of exasperation in his tone, tilting his head. )
You have. ( wriothesley can never catch him at a bad time: if he has, neuvillette will simply make space. ) Is something the matter?
YES ABSOLUTELY
