hello
zhas
No, I can't.
[whatever she was expecting him to text, that wasn't it. So her curiosity spurs her to ask]
Why do you ask?
nunnally
your eyes looked different.
zhas
I wasn't aware.
[...]
If it's alright to ask, how do they look different?
nunnally
[a couple seconds later, he sends an entirely new message--he'd just thought of it.]
like magic
zhas
Something like magic was cast on me when I was young. It was only recently broken. I think that might be what you saw.
[that strikes a good balance]
nunnally
[and she's not a Clearsight? that's a foreign concept to him.]
zhas
[that text takes a very long time to send. Lots of phrasing and re-phrasing]
nunnally
I see.
zhas
But as I said, the spell was broken. I didn't realize that there were residual effects.
nunnally
no one else would notice, probably
zhas

zhas
[that is sent, and then immediately after]
I'm sorry if I unnerved you at all.
nunnally
[mostly. kind of. okay maybe not really.]
zhas
And, if it's alright I'd like to say that I don't want to ignore you.
[pulling it back to where this side conversation started]
nunnally
why?
zhas
I don't think we'll be able to avoid each other for very long, and we'll work better if we're together.
And, personally, you've been nothing but kind. I have no reason to want to avoid you.
[she tries to make it sound as formulaic and logical as possible. like, other than the scary skull face, he's been an okay dude]
nunnally
we'll see.
zhas
Okay. Thank you for considering it.
And truly, thank you for letting me know that you're [.... she's not sure what word is appropriate] unharmed. I was glad to get this message.
nunnally
zhas
You too.
[too cheeky? meh. She likes it. So there]
