[She's still at the cafe, still dressed in her elf outfit, though the hood's held back and there's almost nobody around. She waited until she had some privacy before sending out the message:]

Hey.

You didn't come to the party today. Bet I can guess why.

[ When he answers, he'd not in his suite but rather the new and still-being-set-up backdrop of the welcome center is visible. ]

Ah yeah, sorry. Something came up.

[ Well, that was he found a project to do that gave him an excuse. It was almost the same thing, right? ]

How'd it go?

Tell me about it. We had words, too. [She's not falling for it, Jack. She knows you too well to let it go that easily.] I told him to apologize. He should've gone off like that. It wasn't fair to anyone.

[ Jack's brow creases for a moment. ]

"Him" who? It was anonymous.

[For once, she doesn't even flinch. Because it wasn't a mistake.]

I know. But he turned on the video after I contacted him, so I know who it was.

[ He exhales once, then falls silent. After a moment, he shakes his head. ]

I don't want to know.

Good. Because I don't really want to tell you.

[Though, if he insisted, she may have had to. But that was that, and they were both ready for a change of subject.]

Where are you now?

I still have that plate I promised you from before.

[ He sends her a location ping for the new address. ]

Baby Tooth is here too.

Even better. I haven't seen her in a while.

Be there in a bit, alright? I just need to stop by my room and change.

[And shower]

[ The faerie has been mostly staying indoors due to the cold weather, a rather ironic reversal of Jack's position in the summer. But the center is heated to a moderate temp that can both agree on. ]

Okay, I'll be here.
