MY FRIEND. ARE YOU ALRIGHT?
They perceived the fact that something clean and fresh had entered their cubbyhole. Something on old, old parchment. Something in that swoopy handwriting like no other they’d seen, something Mr. P had been teaching them to read since they were old enough to focus on it.
They paused their music, paused their game (and right before they were about to challenge Sabrina again?), and brought the clean, clean parchment, a thing that had been created before their manifestation, toward them via amorphous sludge picking it up in a sort of hand. They read the message.
They knew that, somehow, Mr. Az could hear them when they spoke to his parchment. They’d never asked why - they figured it had something to do with the nature of him as a being, or perhaps he was just cool like that.
I’mmm hrgh fi- ne. Nothing to wor- worryyy pop pop pop about.
They folded the parchment up, slipped it inside one of their various pockets, with all the rest of the letters they’d ever been sent, turned their music back on, and returned to their game. Time to take down Sabrina - for the hundredth time.
