Lang Zi Says...: cruelqueen: Lang Zi Says…: cruelqueen: Lang Zi Says…: [Incoming Call]...
He wants to inquire further - there was clearly more to how she felt than what she’d just admitted - but Lang wasn’t about to make her poor her heart and soul out over the phone, especially over such a delicate topic. Perhaps upon his return to America, he would ask her further…but for now, a nice conversation to take her mind off of things and give her something else to think about would do the trick.
I’ve been well. We’ve not got far to go now until the last operation is taking place, and we should have our perp by the end of the month. It’s great to finally catch the guy behind everything, you know? This has been a long time coming. But I won’t bore you with specifics.
Besides - if I told you, I’d have to kill you.
-Angel hadn't really wanted to discuss the whole emotional ordeal any further, so she was relieved when he didn't press her. She supposed he was a natural at reading the mood--which worked in these sorts of circumstances. Angel chuckled lightly at his small pun, adding a small--non offensive--"Nice~" to the end. She was tempted to ask about his particular job in Zheng Fa but she figured it'd be best not to pry. Besides--it particularly wasn't her business to begin with. She knew that. Sitting up on the bed, she brushed hair over her shoulder before speaking.-
Well I'm happy to hear you're well. You should be sure to take care of yourself over there. When you come back I'll make you a steak lunch for taking your break to talk with me, okay?
-Her tone suggested she was smiling, as she was. It was easy to talk to Lang--he was just an easy going man. She supposed she liked that type.-
He was glad to hear some happiness in her voice. Whether it was because he'd caused it, or simply that she was no longer sad, he wasn't sure, but he was glad all the same.
That sounds great. You know how partial I am to your cooking, Angel. Though I don't suppose you've been doing a lot of it recently.
He leaned back and frowned, a thought occurring to him. Being in hospital, she won't have been able to sell any lunches. Was she holding up alright in terms of money? He didn't want to straight up ask - that would be rude - but he didn't want to leave her in the lurch if there was a chance he could help her.
Is that...a problem? Because if so, then...I suppose, if you needed any help...with...it...
Suddenly he wasn't quite sure how to properly form sentences. He knew Angel was a strong, independent woman, and he hoped he hadn't insulted her by offering a hand in this situation.
