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.
