Okay, I admit I'm not the best when it comes to technology but I'm seriously running out of patience here! All I want to do is text someone! I was able to text them before but then I changed their name in my phone and now I can't AND IT'S BAD ENOUGH THAT I CAN'T GET NEAR CERTAIN PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THESE BRANDS BUT IF I CAN'T TEXT SOMEONE NOW EXPLODING PRISONS ARE GONNA BE THE LEAST OF THEIR WORRIES.

[Darin takes a deep, steadying breath. Normally, the person he would go to for tech support is Zelda. A person he cannot presently go anywhere near. So now he's the network's problem.]

Look. Okay. I just. I need someone to look at my contacts and tell me if I screwed something up. Because I don't know what I did. I just changed one contact. I change contact names all the time! All the time!

LOOK. HERE.



CAN ANYONE SEE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE I JUST WANT TO TEXT SOMEONE AND EVERY TEXT I [Sounds of fingers furiously tapping] TRY [More tapping] I GET [TAPPING]

... ... ...

"MESSAGE CANNOT BE DELIVERED" MY BRIGHT, BLUE ASS!!! WHO THE HELL MADE THESE PIECES OF—

[Darin is drowned out by the sound of wind because he did, in fact, throw his phone.]

[He will retrieve it shortly once it lands.]

Says the man who is yelling at the top of his lungs.

I read in a book once that one who protests so should not be believed.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Fine, want the truth?

I'm so insanely in love with her I don't think there's words big enough to describe it.

Happy now?

I said it.

[tilfrosset]

[Jill begins laughing because wow, she did not expect him to come right out and say all that. But it's laughing, something she hasn't done in over a month, so thanks Darin.]

Happy? I'm overjoyed. For you and for her.

[Because if she can't have love, she will wish it for those she holds dear.]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Th...Th-Thanks, Jill...

That...means a lot...

[tilfrosset]

You're very welcome.

But I have one request to make of you.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

...What's that?

[tilfrosset]

That I am invited to the wedding.

[Look, someone has to mention it!]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

W-WE'RE NOT GETTING—

YOU'RE THE SECOND PERSON WHO THINKS WE'RE GONNA—

[tilfrosset]

Yet.

Who's the first?

[forgeabettertomorrow]

J-Jill...!

I-It was Garrus...!

[tilfrosset]

Ah, I see.

[She hums in thought.]

Perhaps he and I should talk.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

... ... ...

Why.

[tilfrosset]

So we can see how right we are for a second time.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

I DON'T—

We shouldn't—

L-Look...I...

[He sputters.]

[tilfrosset]

[She hums again, this time in an attempt to not lose her sanity laughing.]

One day, you'll look back on this conversation and laugh.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Really? Because right now I'm bright godsdamned red.

...I'm...trying to be better about accepting these things, though. After everything we've talked about...I'm not used to people celebrating me...

[tilfrosset]

Well, it's not like we've brought out the cake and ale.

[Yet. Soon, though, if she and Garrus have any say in it.]

I think you'll get used to it after a while.
