[She might mean it metaphorically, but that is the question. Time to put it to the test!

Draxum lifts his leg, and this time it finally—finally—tugs free. A surprised noise comes through his side of the call, before it's promptly drowned out by what sounds like a strong wind as he uses his vines to yeet himself high into the trees and out of harm's way.]

No, that covers it! [That's some whiplash, but in the space of those few seconds, he sounds a lot more like his usual self again.] You can go back to whatever it is you were doing before I called. Don't tell me if it was boring.

[There's still some things Draxum has to work out for himself, but this has greatly helped with getting his head on straight once again, and overcome that sense of crushing despair.]

[Please imagine her 8|?? face while she listens to all these weird fucking sounds on the other side of this call. Should she ask?

Nah. He was clearly being secretive to begin with. She can pester him later if she remembers.]

I was watching painted toenails dry. Wanna hear about the precise levels of different colour I was mixing to get that sheeny, pearled finish?

[She's full of shit, but don't tell me if it was boring just made her reach for the most boring thing she could think of. It's either this or taxes.]

[HE WOULD HAVE PREFERRED TAXES, ie. she absolutely chose correctly.]

Ugh, I'm hanging up now! I will not be party to any toe-based conversations—beings with hooves get a free pass on those.

...But thanks. I owe you one, or something.

You can be sure I'll collect. [Grin.] Take care, Barry.

[And off she goes.]
