[Alex feels the phone vibrate in her pocket, shifting to fish it out without distrubung the dog resting its head on her lap. Not bothering to check the caller ID, she picks up.]
Hello—-
[She recognizes the voice immediately, but it takes a moment for her to respond. Her eyes widen, suddenly feelig more awake, and her breath catches in her throat.]
C-Cú..? Cú, is it really you..?! Are you—are you back? Are you okay?
[Her other hand comes up to cup the bottom of the phone.]
That's me, the one and only! And in top-condition to add to that. [ He makes his tone light, turning it into a quip ]
What have you been up to? [ He asks in a conversational tone, as if he wasn't just a dead man brought back to life. Totally casual ] I've dropped to your temple to say hello, but haven't found you here.
[ Being awfully casual about even the worst of things is a terrible trait, yet he has it mastered. But her words make that casualness crack ]
What the-? [ Now he sounds shocked and serious. Did Add kick the bucket? He brought it upon himself- but what if everyone else there also died. There goes the rescue attempt ] Who else died?
Um..I only know the god names, and I’m not sure about the other two. [The names were a little hard to pronounce.]
Loki..Ks..hiti..garbha? And Li Tie..guai. Whatever they were gods over..it’s gotten bad. Like with yours, there’s a bunch of strays attacking people..and some of them are possessed by ayakashi. They’re influencing other dogs too.
That sounds bad. [ Yeah, sure but neither of those names belongs to Zelda, so that's a mental sigh of relief. Not sure if other people in the void didn't go by them, but Add is not one of them, so maybe his... rescue attempt was a success?
Still, things his first]
Dogs? [ Of course ]
Alex, are you still? As in- not moving? [ He's useless here, it's useless to talk about this on the phone, he should be there. Can he just teleport himself not to a known place, but to a known person in unknown place? ]

[ Just birbs ]

Eh? What have I---you don't know then..? [Did he just get back?]
There are prayers for the gods that passed away..so everyone's been out answering them. I'm..helping out with yours...
[His tone was really throwing her off. How was he being so casual? As if he never left. As if people hadn't mourned.]

[Alex looks down at her lap where the dog is looking up at her, wondering why she stopped petting his head.]
I am. I’m in Ireland..though I don’t know where exactly.
