Hello! This is Otome Yanagiya-- we met when you first arrived, but then I realized I hadn't really talked to you since, so I thought I'd check up on you.
[ he recognizes that voice immediately; even if there's no video, he's obviously quite happy to hear a familiar voice. ]
I'm so sorry I never got to thank you for your help back then. It's no excuse, but I'm afraid I was a little overwhelmed then and wasn't thinking straight. But, um, I've been well. I -- guess I'm still adjusting to things here. But I think things have been going smoothly?
[ a shy laugh. ]
I've only been working at the library, while I get used to being around humans. But -- I hope to help at the hospital as well, soon.
Ah... has adjusting to humans been difficult? I do hospital work myself, so if you need a helping hand or a friendly smile, I'd be happy to help you get settled.
[ He did sort of seem to be the more subdued type... ]
voice; OH MY GOD I'M SO SORRY i never got the notif
[ there's a pause while he mulls over his thoughts. ]
Almost all humans at least know about us, about Rabbits and Jackalopes, where I'm from. So it wouldn't be a big shock to see me. But in a place like this, I'm a little worried that seeing me would be an unpleasant surprise for some people. And -- that might cause trouble at a hospital.
Ah, um, not that anyone's treated me poorly. Everyone's been very kind. But I suppose I can't help worrying a little.
It's true that there's no real way to know for certain that seeing you won't cause trouble.
... But then, there's no real way to know for certain that seeing you will cause trouble, either. From what I can tell from having met you once and speaking with you now, you seem to be a very gentle soul.
[ there's silence on his side of the line for a moment. for one, he's never sure how to respond to any kind comments directed at him. and for another ... she does have a point that he'll just have to steel himself and try mingling with the people here. ]
... that's true. Um, the bit about not knowing for certain, that is. Even if I fret over it, nothing will change unless I actually try.
[ a weak laugh. ]
I guess I don't have an excuse to avoid my responsibilities any more.

[ She may not be a very big and bulky woman, but Otome can be fierce. ]

[ but saying that by itself is awfully rude, isn't it. he's quick to add: ]
But -- thank you very much, I appreciate the thought. I hope I won't have to, but I'll keep it in mind.
