Kerrigan's Office, Tuesday Afternoon

[on_her_korhal]

She still had the piece of paper on her after class. If Kerrigan was inclined to be honest with herself, she'd had it with her for a while now. It was starting to get ridiculous: she should be no more vulnerable to stupid human sentimentalities than an armored truck should be to a small pebble on the way.

And still...

She sighed. Perhaps if she dialed the number, it would put that pesky feeling to rest, and she could continue on with her plans. She picked up the phone and went through the old routine of getting a line off the island - it almost made her feel... nostalgic.

Finally, she could put through the number-- and waited, forcing away the ridiculous anticipation in her belly.

We're sorry, a voice droned on the other end of the line, the number you have dialed is not currently in use. If you'd--

She threw down the reciever. Disconnected. Okay. Fine. It wasn't like she cared about it. She tossed the note at the trash can, and told herself that this meant the whole affair was over and done with. Back to reality. Etcetera.

The distressing thing was that she wasn't sure whether she actually believed that.

When faced with a difficult task, sometimes it was best to give the old noggin and the fingers a bit of a rest and come back to the challenge later. Aquaman decided to do just that, a large basket of smaller baskets, the nicer ones from yesterday, and decided to distribute them to his teacher friends.

Which explained the knock on Kerrigan's door.

"Leuitenant!" he greeted. "Hope the day day finds you well! Might you like this fine underwater woven basket? It's a handy thing to have about the office, by coral!"

And then Kerrigan's phone rang. River wasn't sure why but it felt oddly comforting to use the phone again.
