[There's a lot of noise behind Charlie. She's working at the Jasmine Dragon and is on her break when she does this. She doesn't bother with filtering this since she doesn't know who all Ed spoke to but it has to be done. Despite the fact that she really feels like flipping out and setting everything on fire, she keeps her voice calm and steady. It helps that she's at work, really.]

Ed Lee went home the other day. I'm not sure who all he spoke to or who he was friends with but he's gone.


[And then the audio shuts off. She's botherable at the Jasmine Dragon, if anyone wants to find her there.]

[Around noonish Charlie will get a delivery at work of a pot of bright red tiger lilies, with a note attached.]

Figured you could use them for your garden. Hope you're doing better.

Hey, how are you doing? And don't say fine.

[charring]

I hate this damn City.

[mrbackwards]

You all right?

[charring]

Not so much.

[private to curtis.]

He told me he loved me before he vanished. And Ed doesn't lie about how he feels.

[mrbackwards]

I'm sorry.

[ he doesn't know what else to say, but he knows how she's feeling. it hurts. ]

Is there anything I can do?

[ex_bloodcakedarmor707]

I'm sorry, Charlie. That's never a good feeling.

† audio

[charring]

No, it's not. Hi, Derek.

† audio

[ex_bloodcakedarmor707]

I'm sorry he's gone. [And he's not going to ask if she'll be okay cause he's just now getting back into the swing of things himself after losing both Reid and then Cameron right in a row. And now Faith. He knows and he can empathize.]

If there's anything you need, you know you can let me know, right?

[coyote_walking]

Oh Charlie...

I'm so sorry.

[charring]

I hate this dumb City.

[coyote_walking]

I don't blame you.

It has a way of doing nasty stuff like this.

Just when you think you're happy and everything is working out...

Anything I can do to help?

[candothat]

Charlie? Would anything help?

[charring]

I don't think so. Not right now. Thank you, though.

[candothat]

If you change your mind, will you call, please?

[Voice]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

Do you need anything?

[Voice]

[charring]

I'm not sure. Mind keeping me company at some point while I run some errands?

[Voice]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

No, of course not. Just tell me when.

[So that's why he hadn't heard from her in a while.]

Charlie-san, are you going to be alright?

private; video;

[charring]

Eventually. Yes. [Charlie maybe next time you should just lie and say you're fine.]

private; video;

[oceantrauma]

Would you...would you prefer to be alone for the time?

[Ken isn't sure how to approach these things. Sometimes he likes to be alone when he's hurting, but other times it's nice to have someone around, or sometimes he just wants Wormmon and only him.]
