[Oh no...]

Errr ... Just some stuff fell over while I was trying to clean up! ... It's fine!

[He's a terrible liar.]

How did you hear me anyway...

[Yeah, he really is a terrible liar and Lightning isn't falling for it.]

What do you mean, how? You called me. [Unless...] Unless this is one of those accidental ones. I've already had two so far.

[And that was two too many!!!]

[So that is why Sora somehow got Lightning's amulet and not the person he was looking to speak to?! He frowns at his amulet as if it's its fault.]

Oh. Yeah, I guess it is. [an accident!] But! I'll be able to manage! You don't have to worry about me! --If you have to come save me right now I think I'd probably die of embarrassment because it's you.

[ ........ Where did that last part come from? It's like his thoughts are just streaming over the connection automatically??]

[Where did that last part come from? There's some very obvious confusion coming from her side of the conversation...]

Why? Because you've been going around calling me a goddess behind my back?

[YEAH SHE'S CALLING YOU OUT.]

Wh-What?!

[Sora immediately sputters and a flicker of flustered surprise trickles sharply across the connection.]

I ... It's- [HE'S SO CALLED OUT HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY-] It's just you're ... You are, though!

[Yeah, she did tell Naruhodou that someone would get a talking to, and how convenient that Sora contact her not long after? Thankfully, Lightning is good at biting back a laugh and remains straight-faced. She even manages to appear a little angry.]

So I'm also five hundred years old, huh?

[Aren't you glad you misfired to Lightning, Sora?]

[He's so glad that he's literally wheezing. But that might be because he's currently stuck under a pile of boxes as well.]

... Er... [COUGH] But- You're a goddess and that means you're old but that also means you're really pretty and powerful!

[Nailed it. Maybe. RIP. Can his brain please shut off now...]

I'm—

[She's blushing! And there's a little surprised shock that makes its way through their connection. Hopefully it doesn't startle Sora too much! She bristles, and moves away from the subject because this is embarrassing for both of them!]

You sure you're okay?

I'm just fine...

[He tries to sound reassuring. Really!]

I was trying to get a hold of Riku to come help me out. It's really no big deal...

[Just abandon him, Lightning! For his pride!]

I'm sorry about the goddess thing...

Yeah.

[That's her way of saying 'it's fine, can we please drop it' because wow, it's embarrassing. She's much more concerned about Sora anyway.]

If you can hang up this call and get hold of your friend, I'll stop asking.

I will, I will!

[Luckily it's been about five minutes or so. Sora is sheepish and embarrassed.]

I'll let you know later when I'm free...!

[And with that he ends the transmission! With some of his pride intact.]
