Ā Ā Ā Texting was still something foreign to him. Had he things his way, his preference would have been over phone calls or letters, but he supposes learning and changing with the tide of technology could be far worse.
Ā Ā Ā In the midst of his book, he feels the device vibrate, muffling a generic jingle heād yet to change. The screen lighting up in his face at this hour causes him to squint before readjusting to the shift in light compared to his small flame and reading the messageās sender.
Ā Ā Ā There were words heād wanted to say, but drowned out despite his heartās constant protest. Letting things roll over as they were seemed far better than speaking it outāfar safer and simplerĀ to him at the very least. However, was it fair to the frenchman? Not in the slightest. He owed him an explanation, and yet, no motivation to get it out had happened since then.
Ā Ā Ā Instead, he indulged in selfishness. Again with their hidden New Years encounter. It was hard to say whatās going on. Hard to say whereĀ their friendship really stood. A sigh, and he sets his book against his lap, taking the time to type his normal brief and to the point response back.
[ text ]: If I may ask, Polnareff, about what exactly? Is it something we can discuss over this new form of messaging, or something better suited for meeting in person.
The vibration and muffled sound of an eagle had him scrambling to check his phone and his messages, eyes scanning it with baited breath. It was expected that Avdol would ask how they should discuss whatever they needed to discuss, but rather than be combative and defensive, the Frenchman would respond in a calm and cool manner.
He had. to be calm and cool, or else he'd drive his friend away without knowing where they stood. Pol couldn't just be overexpressive in the cold this time.
[text]: I would... rather not say over messages. It's better suited for a talk in person. š
[text]: Are you able to come meet me in Sector 002, by chance? Sinon, that's okay! I just...
[text]: There is a lot of things I would like to speak with you about while I'm sober and coherent.
