He resumed his whistling as he hopped up onto the railing of a bridge and walked atop it.  He dialed Emma, felt a mild reaction from his host: Annoyance with a note of anxiety.

Ah, there we go. Time to fuck things up for Sophia a little more.

Emma picked up on the fourth ring.  “What the fuck soph… what the fuck!?  It’s three AM!”

Ahaha, I forgot how late it was.

“Terribly sorry,” Regent tried to sound convincing, but it came out sounding sarcastic.

Yeah, that’s not something I can imagine Sophia saying unless it’s incredibly sarcastic.

“You said you’d call me hours ago, to give me a recap.”

Well, the patrol… ran a little long.

“I’m sorry,” Regent didn’t trust himself to pull off a sincere apology, so he lowered her voice to a hush instead.

“What’s going on?”

Yeah, what’s up, Regent Stalker?
