[Of course, the one jump he wakes up late is the one his friends come. Of course it is. By the time he wakes up that Saturday, there are dozens of messages pinging him, telling him to look on the network-- and god, he doesn't think his joy could be any greater. His heart leaps in his chest, and he fumbles with the buttons, so excited he can barely take it.]

PEARL!

[God, but he's missed her.]

You're here! Did people tell you about this place? Are you okay? I've missed you! I can't come see you til next week but it's okay, this isn't Jasper's ship or anything--

[But oh, explanations are so tedious, and soon he very simply shouts:]

Pearl's here!
