✉ I miss you.

✉ You want to do something stupid?
✉ I'm thinking we ditch the city for a few days.
✉ And do some training specific damage.

[ooc note: sent after this exchange and several attempts at calling him, the following texts were spread out over a period of time until Ward finally decided to respond]

✉ Grant, answer your damn phone.
✉ I'm worried about you.
✉ Please, just talk to me.
✉ You're scaring me.
✉ Please don't do anything stupid.
✉ I need you to talk to me.
✉ Please, Grant.
✉ Just let me know you're alive.

✉ So...there's this other version of Laurel that just showed up here.
✉ Except she goes by Dinah.
✉ And doesn't have a sister.
✉ And is married to Oliver.
✉ Drinks?

✉ I have something I want to ask you.
✉ But you have to promise not to laugh first.

✉ I think I just saw your triceratops friend.
✉ At least I assume it was the same one you made friends with.
✉ Unless there's more than one within the barrier.

✉ Please do not attempt to stake a t-rex.
✉ Or a raptor.
✉ Actually, please refrain from fighting dinosaurs at all.
✉ For me.
✉ I know you might think it'll be fun.
✉ But I don't want you getting eaten.
✉ Please?

✉ There are dinosaurs in the streets.
✉ I was about to go outside for a run and saw what looked strangely like a velociraptor.
✉ I couldn't confirm it though because then it ran down the street.
✉ Needless to say I decided not to go out running.

✉ I should be concerned that Loki's the one empathizing with my situation, right?
✉ I know you told me not to talk to you anymore.
✉ But I need at least a relatively unbiased opinion right now.
✉ Because I feel like I should be concerned.
✉ But at the same time, it's about damn time nice for someone to understand for a change.
