[Immediate dismissal and change of subject.] I have been trying to get back, but I believe something may be blocking the magic... my magic. It took a while to figure out how to reach you, and I do not know how long the connection will remain. [Softer, vulnerable.] Your voice is a great comfort, treasure. I thought it was lost to me forever.
