There'd been a purpose behind that: you figured you'd hang up and then call back until Pheres remembered to get his goddamn phone. What you hadn't thought about was the fact he leaves the stupid thing on silent, the better to ignore any calls, and you only remember the second time you hit his fucking voicecache.
("Hello! This is Pheres Dysseu speaking, book repairer and vendor of antiques -- if this is an emergency, please call my moirail, at...")
So you'd broken a few glasses, left a few nasty messages, and sat down to stew. You'd been expecting thirty, forty minutes until he remembered the stupid thing on the ground: you're pleasantly surprised when he calls back in less than ten.
You could do without the way his voice's quavering like a leaf, though.
"Whoa, babe," you say, alarmed. Your voice comes back tinny, and holy shit, he put you on speaker. Why the fuck did he put you on speaker? "Calm the fuck down, okay?"
"Explain why I'm sparking!" he demands, and okay, you're definitely going to murder Riccin. There's no reason he should be freaking the fuck out like this. It's been ten minutes. The fuck did they do?
(They culled Noname, but she was in the cullpits, and that's the only reason you so much as talk to them. If Riccin's so much as touched a hair on Pheres's fucking head, though --)
Shit. Okay. Sparking: you can do that.
"Someone slipped you a honey pill. It's not fucking contagious, so if Riccin's giving you shit, tell them to cram it up their nook, okay?"
