Umm, hello. It's me, Nothing, and I'm busy right now. Leave a message please, and I'll call you back.

Thanks?

[Somebody's been avoiding Annabeth and she is not happy about that. Dude, relly, she let's you eat her and then you don't even bother to call?]

So are we not talking now, or...?

[muchadoabout]

I figured that would be up to you.

[yearrounder]

You can be really dense sometimes, you know that?

[muchadoabout]

How am I being dense?

[yearrounder]

Seriously? Did you think I hated you or something? I offered. It was my own stupid fault. I'm not going to hold it against you and I really don't appreciate friends vanishing on me.

[muchadoabout]

Well, I thought you might. It would be fair. [He's using that quintessential Nothing tone, saying the awkward honestly the way a little kid might. He wouldn't have blamed her if she wanted her distance.]

I'm sorry.

[yearrounder]

Not really, no.

Why are you sorry?

[muchadoabout]

For not checking in with you.

[yearrounder]

Oh. [Oops]

Well you should be sorry.

[But she can't really stay upset forever, either.]

Are you okay?

[muchadoabout]

Yeah, why wouldn't I be? You're the one who died.

[yearrounder]

[She almost wants to say that isn't even the weirdest thing that's happened to her, but it probably is.]

Because you disappeared for a while?

[muchadoabout]

[Dying isn't that weird, but it would throw anyone off their stride.]

Yeah, because I killed you and I figured you didn't want to talk to me.

[yearrounder]

You're not the first friend to try and kill me, you're just the first one that actually did. Clearly you feel bad about it, so why wouldn't I want to talk to you?

[muchadoabout]

Because you died. You had to deal with the hard part. I thought that happening was more important than how I felt about it.

[yearrounder]

Because you thought my problem was bigger yours doesn't matter? How does that even make sense?

[muchadoabout]

When it's as big as dying, it makes sense.

[yearrounder]

You're being dense again.

[muchadoabout]

I don't see how.

[yearrounder]

Because you're dense.

[muchadoabout]

I've never killed anyone and had them come back before.

[yearrounder]

And this is less concerning than actually being the one to die?

[muchadoabout]

Yeah.

[yearrounder]

Explain that one to me.

[muchadoabout]

How I feel isn't important. You died. You're the one who matters here.

[yearrounder]

That is not even close to true.
