I regret to inform you that prolonging conversation has never been my talent. However, if this pattern holds, it’ll seem as though no time at all passes between our end here and the next occurrence.

Like who? I have no loose ends.

[Ah. He answers less whether he can, more if he would. No loose ends.]
Forget that I asked.
[This is meant to be understanding. Words on a small, bright flatness lose that, she thinks.]
No loose ends, no more questions. What are you to do with yourself now?

no subject
[The word “funny” has never looked less funny.]
Right. Where are you? Formless space again?
no subject
I suppose, when we finish this conversation, I'll simply...
You know. Until next time.

You're right. We just have to blink.
