Last time you asked for a hopeful memory.

( Does hoping she doesn't have to try and dredge up another count as providing hope? Who knows. )

voice.

[lingeringhope]

Ah, yes. Then another of the same.

[Sorry, Kate.]

( Do you hear this exhale, Hope? That is the exhale of total exasperation. God, why couldn't you have other prices?

It's a while before Kate says anything, the silence thick on her side of the line.

Fine. This counts, right? )

S'pose watching everyone come together to fight th' fire were pretty hopeful. Were nice to know everyone wanted to help.

( Most everyone. Really, Hadriel provides a lot of hope in its own way. All these people from such different places who are still prepared to work together.

How very after school special. )

I also liked that. It is good to see you all helping one another out.

[Even Hope needs a pick-me-up sometimes. Well, often.]

You will find a box of tea on your counter.

( Well, if Rosie has her way there'll be some medicine for that...

Kate clears her throat, an awkward pause before: )

... Thanks.

( For everything, really. )

You are welcome.
