[Ken sounds worn out.]

I'm staying safe as I can. Fortunately, I've not been confronted by any of the [trying to think of a suitable word] creatures. I hope everyone else is staying safe as well.


[Filtered to Charlie]
Charlie-san...I'm very, very sorry. I shouldn't have touched something that wasn't mine. But-

You've been gone way too long. We didn't need that much, did we? Please hurry home. Please be okay.

And, um, is your sword set up to trigger a fire when picked up by anyone? I didn't see a trap set up, but.... I'm sorry I touched it.

Oh, Jesus Christ. What happened? Are you okay? I'll be home in ten.

[And completely out of breath because she will have run the entire way.]

I'm...I'm fine. [His hands are just fairly burnt, hence using voice instead of texting her.]

But you're okay?

Re: voice: filtered

[charring]

I'm fine. I have what I need.

Did you meet Professor McGonagall when she was here?

[That would be the sound of Charlie hastily paying for her purchases and stuffing them in her backpack. The device is probably secured on that or her jacket so she can run without worrying about it, so there's also whooshing sounds.]

Yes. We briefly discussed magic. She taught magic at the school.

She put a spell on my sword. Several, actually. If I remember correctly. It won't let anyone near it but me. I should have told you.

No, I shouldn't have picked up something that wasn't mine.

I was just worried when you hadn't come back. I thought I could take it to you, and use it to fend off the...infected.

voice, filtered; to action.

It's okay, sweetheart. I'm not angry.

[Now...sounding just a bit out of breath but the animals know she's coming, so they're rushing the door. A moment later, the door opens and shuts and Charlie's searching the house for Ken.
