( soon after his run-in with allen and his... more than ample amount of messages, he eventually comes across lenalee’s. though, while the second kind of got his skin crawling, the last extinguishes any real semblance of fear he may have had. at least... that sort of fear. the fact that he inadvertently caused her inner and/or mental strife, only strikes a particularly hard-hitting chord with him. that’s the absolute last thing he hoped to accomplish here. she experienced that enough at "home."
but, guilt aside, he also couldn’t help but feel marginally blessed to be able to have companions who were willing to lay their emotions on the line for his sake. even when he considered himself a far stretch from being the “ideal” friend in return (as much as he endeavors). closing his eyes tightly, he finally places in a call. when and if she does pick up, he speaks before even the static on the line can clear. hasty and rushed— ) I got your messages.
Thanks. ( and in his gratitude, there’s an unsaid “sorry for worrying you” embedded in there, his tone far more hushed at the final spoken word. )

Anyway, please call me back because you should really be back by now. Don't go exploring when it gets dark! Especially alone, okay?
[voicemail] after like an hour
Call me. Now. Please.
[voicemail] /FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER /ALSO THE END
I won't hit you, so just please be okay.
