"So?" Hailey asked, her tone returning to a neutral icy tone.
"He is going to call you in an hour." Dickon informed and Hailey simply nodded. "Ok. Bye."
"Wait!" Dickon then screamed at the top of his lungs, not wanting to see his baby go again.
"What?" Hailey asked with a frown.
Dickon then froze. He hadn't thought of a conversational piece to keep her on the line. He had to pick his words carefully or she would end the call and he wouldn't see her darling face for months!
Racking his brain quickly as he saw the fuse wearing thin in Hailey's eyes, he thought of the first thing that came to his mind, courtesy of Sigismund.
"How is your- Nngh!- Boyfriend? Is he enjoying his new status as a sentinel?"
It was at this moment, Dickon saw a cherished emotion on Hailey's icy demeanour he hadn't seen since she was a child. Genuine utter confusion.
"What are you talking about? Apollo is a fallen Archon." Hailey asked, prompting confusion in Dickon as well.
