[Hey, Celes! How are you? Are you okay now? Sorry, I haven't visited you at the Healer's. My brother just fill me. Hope he's not stressing you?]
Celes chuckled.
Oh how I miss this girl.
"Thank you, Ales. I feel so much better now that you call. I've been feeling lonely."
[Me, too. I just call because I want to hear your voice so I can relax. Ugh, I just remember why I'm so pissed. I saw that Szarina at the Consul's meeting today.]
Celes's heart sank a little but she tried to keep her tone light. "Oh? What was she doing there?"
Ales sighed. [You know, the usual. But get this—she interrupted a conversation about what gift brother should get for you. Just barged in and asked him to go with her somewhere.]
Celes forced a smile, even though Ales couldn't see it. "Really? That's unexpected."
[Ugh, it was!] Ales groaned. [I can't believe how easily he complied. He always does that because of his stupid sense of duty.]
