	Call: Neil/Meredith ex_perspecti86 2015-01-13 02:38 pm UTC (link)
	[On the third ring.] Hello? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Neil/Meredith incharge 2015-01-13 02:48 pm UTC (link)
	[An exhale.] Hi, Mere. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Neil/Meredith ex_perspecti86 2015-01-13 02:49 pm UTC (link)
	[An audible smile as she leans back against the kitchen countertop, abandoning the cloth she had been using to wipe up the counters with.] Hi, yourself. You sound tired, Neil. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Neil/Meredith incharge 2015-01-13 02:59 pm UTC (link)
	It's been a [...] long couple of days. I'm sorry, I know I practically disappeared on you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Neil/Meredith ex_perspecti86 2015-01-13 03:01 pm UTC (link)
	[Gently.] You don't have to apologise, Neil. I know there were things going on and you needed to be there. I'm not going to pitch a fit over you being with your family when they need you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Neil/Meredith incharge 2015-01-13 03:07 pm UTC (link)
	[Pause.] Sam is involved, too. I don't want to hide that from you. But in a way, she is family. Louis's family. [A sigh.] A man named Micah attacked her a few years ago. Sam. Now he's back, and he's harassing her. He's threatened Louis, too. It's not a good situation. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Neil/Meredith ex_perspecti86 2015-01-13 03:10 pm UTC (link)
	[She figured as much about Sam, but if Neil's telling her, then at least she's being honest.] It doesn't sound like the best situation, no. [There's a pause of her own as she turns, leaning her elbow on the counter, staring out into the penthouse.] What are you doing to keep everyone safe? Is there anything I can help you with? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Neil/Meredith incharge 2015-01-13 03:12 pm UTC (link)
	Sam is hospitalized here. She's [...] an addict. Drugs. I'm hoping recovery will stick this time. As for Louis, he's in Marvel, for now. With his work partner. The goal is to catch this man, but it won't be easy. We already tried. It didn't go well. [Pause, and his voice goes quieter.] You being as understanding as you are helps more than you know.

[There's a soft exhale as she listens.] Is she okay at the moment? Other than being in the hospital? [There's another pause, her jaw a little tighter.] Just be careful, okay? I don't want to see anything happen to you. Any of you. [And again with the quiet, his words washing over her.] I wouldn't be much of a girlfriend if I wasn't understanding. I'm not saying it's easy, and I'm not going to say that I don't miss you. But... I get it. And it's okay.

	Re: Call: Neil/Meredith incharge 2015-01-13 03:31 pm UTC (link)
	I think so. She has [...] friends, looking out for her. [Fond.] I'm careful. I will be careful. Louis is law enforcement, he can handle himself. I worry anyway, but he is capable. [Pause.] There's nothing more I can do right now. I think I'll take a few days away from work. I've missed you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Neil/Meredith ex_perspecti86 2015-01-13 03:34 pm UTC (link)
	I think it's in your nature to worry, Neil. [There's a soft sigh.] Come home. I've missed you, too. We'll order in. Lock the doors. Ignore the world for a few days. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Neil/Meredith incharge 2015-01-13 05:43 pm UTC (link)
	[Wryly.] I think that's likely. I worry about Louis. About his health. I worry about you. I'm sure I'll worry about Casey, too, now that he's here. [Audible smile.] That sounds perfect. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Neil/Meredith ex_perspecti86 2015-01-13 05:46 pm UTC (link)
	Then I'll just have to make up for it by worrying about you. [A soft laugh and then a hum.] I talked to Casey. Just a bit. I told him about the business, about how things are, and he's glad things are better for you. [She laughs again, quietly.] How do you feel about Chinese? That place we ordered from right after we got here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Neil/Meredith incharge 2015-01-13 06:31 pm UTC (link)
	Don't worry too much. [Smile.] Did you? I'm glad he's here. I haven't seen him in a while. As for Chinese, I feel very strongly in its favor. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Neil/Meredith ex_perspecti86 2015-01-13 06:34 pm UTC (link)
	We should invite him over sometime. Or you should. I'm still feeling awkward around your siblings. [A smile.] The usual, then? What time will you be home? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Neil/Meredith incharge 2015-01-13 09:08 pm UTC (link)
	We should have them both over. Louis and Casey. [Quiet laugh.] Yes, the usual. And I shouldn't be more than half an hour. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Neil/Meredith ex_perspecti86 2015-01-13 09:10 pm UTC (link)
	Let's plan on that sometime. When things settle, alright? [She hums her pleasure at the lack of a wait.] I'll get things ordered then. It's going to be good to see you again, Neil. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Neil/Meredith incharge 2015-01-13 09:16 pm UTC (link)
	Alright. When things settle. It'll be something to look forward to. [Fondly.] Ditto. [Pause.] I love you. See you soon. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Neil/Meredith ex_perspecti86 2015-01-13 09:19 pm UTC (link)
	[There's quiet for a moment, and she hasn't quite gotten over the fact that they are real. It's good. Really good.] I love you too, Neil. I'll see you soon. [There's a soft sigh, content, and then she disconnects.] (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I am literally inside of a door. Help me. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Re: Neil D/Lin A incharge 2015-01-17 03:28 am UTC (link)
	I might be able to, if you need it. Do you have a place to stay? Sam mentioned that Daniel was in the hospital. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Neil D/Lin A mcrory 2015-01-17 04:32 am UTC (link)
	I was joking. Like, if I was a termite. Or, idk, the rose insert of a knob. Anyway, yeah, he is. And I do. I have some super air-conditioned apartment. You want to be roommates? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Neil D/Lin A incharge 2015-01-17 08:24 pm UTC (link)
	I'm not sure which I'd rather be. Perhaps a termite. As fun as that sounds, I'm not currently looking for a roommate, no. I just thought I'd make sure you weren't living in a hospital waiting room. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Neil D/Lin A mcrory 2015-01-18 02:55 am UTC (link)
	Queen termite is where it's at. Thanks, girl, nah. My sister and her rude-ass boyfriend set me up. How's it going though? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Neil D/Lin A incharge 2015-01-19 07:13 pm UTC (link)
	I'll take your word for it. Good. Not the rude-ass boyfriend part, but the rest. [...] Oh, it's going. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Neil D/Lin A mcrory 2015-01-21 09:09 am UTC (link)
	Want a pic? Yeah, yeah, you hate Daniel, we all know. And that's cryptic, so I'll just let you keep that or whatever. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Neil D/Lin A incharge 2015-01-21 04:22 pm UTC (link)
	I'll take a risk and say yes. It is cryptic. [...] Family issues, I suppose you could say. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Neil D/Lin A mcrory 2015-01-22 05:44 am UTC (link)
	:) I'll just say nothing. How about that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Neil D/Lin A incharge 2015-01-22 07:05 pm UTC (link)
	That's mildly terrifying. Alright. I just [...] don't know what Sam has told you, and it's hers to tell. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Neil D/Lin A mcrory 2015-01-22 08:47 pm UTC (link)
	That's her ball gown. Her fertile ball gown of 20,000-30,000 eggs a day. Did you know they can live for like, 50 years? Girl, I'm not pushing it. Why are you still talking about it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Neil D/Lin A incharge 2015-01-22 11:47 pm UTC (link)
	I can't say that I did. And that's a frightening amount of eggs. [...] I don't know. I'm stopping. Right now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Neil D/Lin A mcrory 2015-01-23 11:52 am UTC (link)
	How like, hot and bothered are you rn? Like, for real? bc they mate for life. js. I'll holla at her. Scout's (wink, wink) honor. (Reply to this) (Parent)
