[Hope's voice is clear and clipped.]

If you would like to leave a message, you may do so here. I can't promise to respond. I have many demands on my time, and this sort of thing is far down the list. Still, if you would like to, you may.

Yeah.

[Not the most eloquent response, but then again what do you say to that? Sorry that people want to kill you for pretty much no reason?]

Are um, the others looking out for you? I mean, I know you said you don't fight, but are the others keeping an eye out?

[And hopefully ready to jump in and intervene if someone does go after Hope?]

[lingeringhope]

They are. They always do. They've kept me alive this long.

[And that ended with most of them dead, of course.]

I only hope that their protection is not needed. They are in danger as well, after all. We all are.

[thechoiceisyours]

Okay, that's good.

[Having some support in a situation like this is important, and he thinks that probably goes for the gods too.]

Yeah, um, with any luck it won't come down to that. Is there any way that like... You can just hide wherever you go when you're not wandering around in person?

[Action]

[lingeringhope]

I will try to. I can't simply remain hidden away for however long this lasts, but I am trying to keep from showing myself unless necessary. Especially to those I do not trust.

[Action]

[thechoiceisyours]

Yeah, um, good plan.

[He gets not being able to just hide though; none of them had managed to do the same at home either, and the track record here hasn't been great either.]

I'll um, let you get back to dealing with everything, though. Be careful, okay?

[Action]

[lingeringhope]

Thank you. You should be careful as well, Chris.

[thechoiceisyours]

I'll try, yeah. Thanks.

[And with a small smile and a little wave, he'll do as he said and head out.]
