A Phone Conversation

[Nox]

Relief flooded Elsa's body. "Elyse! You're safe. I've been calling you. Why haven't your returned my calls?"

"My wallet is broken."
That made sense, it was relief but why was her wallet broken and why hadn't she replaced it. But her daughter continued before she could ask. "Is dad there too?"


Elsa sighed. "No. He's out wrangling a pesk."

"Oh,"
her voice wavered. "I was hoping to talk to you both."


"I don't know when he'll be back. But I can tell him later when he returns. Is there something going on Elyse?" Elsa was sure something had to be up, this was not an ordinary call - an unknown number, the world in turmoil, needing both of them - certainly not an ordinary call.

There was a pause as Elyse thought. "Yeah,"


Elsa knew something had to be wrong and her worry started to creep into her voice. You can tell me anything. What's wrong? Are you in trouble?" Her mind reeled at all the things that could have gone wrong. Was Elyse in that fire? Did she need to come home? Was she hurt? So many things wrong with the world.

"Not exactly..."


"Elyse. Tell me what's wrong? You are starting to worry me." Elsa kept a tight lid on her voice, but the worry was deafening - what was wrong with her baby girl.

(( with Elyse ))
