Hello, this is Carlisle. I mean, it's not Carlisle as in I'm actually answering you right now, so if you're trying to reply to me at the second, you should probably save your breath because I'm not really here. This is some kind of a recording of my voice, but this is my communicator. I'm going to assume these devices are as common here as they are in other places — not my world, but others, ones more technologically advanced than where I come from— so if you'd like to leave me a message, then you may do so here, or er... Right. Here is fine. So just leave yo— [beep]

I only hope you take such words to heart.

[puzzlingly]

i dont wanna die again

[tongueamok]

I don't expect most people do.

Did it hurt?

[puzzlingly]

no

[tongueamok]

I see. I hope there was some comfort in that.

[puzzlingly]

i try not to think about it

sorry i didnt mean to bring it up like that

[tongueamok]

There is no need to apologize.

[He's just been thinking a lot lately about his own end.]

[puzzlingly]

「He can see why Carlile would ask that, but he cannot assure him it'd be the same for him... if, it happens.」

when the storm is over can i go see you?

[tongueamok]

[Just... going to take a second to answer this one.]

I have not been in the best of health as of late, and would be very poor company.

[puzzlingly]

i know
thats why

[tongueamok]

[Ah. Another pause between messages as he searches for the words and determines just how much he should tell his student. Atem will find out eventually, has helped him before... and well, he is a little fond of the lad.

Truer, then.]

I am afraid you will not like what you'll find.

[puzzlingly]

im not afraid of some gooey blank thing

「That's probably a way to gauge it.」

[tongueamok]

It is called the black bile.

i'm so sorry

[puzzlingly]

okay fine
im not scared of the ~~~~black bile~~~~

Bless him.

[tongueamok]

What you are and aren't afraid of doesn't particularly matter in this case, now does it?

[puzzlingly]

is it so hard to understand that i wanna see you one last time?

[tongueamok]

One last time? You make it sound as though I am dying right now.

[Which... is not all that far off, honestly.]

[puzzlingly]

arent you?

「Carlisle...」

[tongueamok]

[HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM]

What would you do if I said I was?

[puzzlingly]

「That's cheating!」

go see you

[tongueamok]

Well, I'm not, so you needn't make it sound so grim.

1/3

[puzzlingly]

「... Carlisle, what...?」 

2/3

[puzzlingly]

「REALLY?

And whose fault is that!? He's not about to forget that whole scene he made the last time they saw each other! Egyptian Jesus!」

3/3

[puzzlingly]

「But... he cannot even get mad at him being a huge hypocrite, he can only smile now.」

YOU STARTED

but cool w/e
that means i can go see you anyway

[tongueamok]

[Wait, that was not the impression he'd wanted to give off, assuming he's reading this right—]

I have to admit I don't think we're speaking the same language at times.
