[So you know. Its a little late in the day. And the Dians are generally giving Rakka all the freedom to do whatever she wants because she deserves everything she wants. But its a little late in the day. And they're a little nervous, as they always are, just a little.

So the phone is picked up immediately, but their tones are completely casual, so not to alarm her.]

Yeah buddy?

What's going on?

Uh... [There's the smallest pause in her voice. To a trained ear, it could have sounded like a controlled sob.

Rakka had been through a lot today. And this was going to be surprisingly hard for her.]

I was trying to fly today, like I said. Raye and Jasmine even helped...

[Not even she wants to get to the point.]

It didn't go really well.

[Little bit of panic setting in. But they're careful not to show.]

WHAT HAPPENED ARE YOU OKAY?!

[...She has to be reminded every so often that the Dians are sort of like grown up children.

They're the best parents she could have.]

It's... It's different than that.
