What, afraid of some whale?

[There's a hint of some teasing there, masked behind her usual flat voice.]

Which one are you aligned to?

[boundbynaught]

I'm not a representative like Usagi is.

[That's what she means, right? He never learned this bit and still has his original crystal.]

[sparkstrikes]

Nevermind.

[Lightning pinches at the bridge of her nose, letting out a long suffering sigh.]

So what are you expecting I do to help you?

[boundbynaught]

Well for one thing you could explain what you meant if I didn't give you the answer you were looking for.

[He can at least catch that from 'Nevermind.']

[sparkstrikes]

[There's a sudden shock of static that sends over the connection, this one not as much an accident as the first.]

Do you know which Arehtei you're aligned to?

[boundbynaught]

... No. I didn't know anyone was aligned to an Arehtei.

[... Hm. Dare for a follow up...]

How can I tell?

[sparkstrikes]

[She doesn't bother to hide another sigh, and when she speaks through it, her voice is both tired but firm. Either he's really new or no one gave him the rundown, but as far as she sees it, this isn't on her.]

Look, kid. I'm not here to give anyone lessons on how this place works. Look at your crystal, figure it out. Then we can talk.

[boundbynaught]

[Definitely not the answer he was expecting, but then he remembers what Usagi told him about her.]

Fine. I'll call later.

['Later' being after talking to some of the other, more helpful folks about the original issue.

But since she isn't interested in explaining things, he hangs up.]
