'Hey.'

He's getting better at this. Halfway across the world, as usual, and he doesn't have to yell, mentally. Doesn't have to talk out loud, either, though he does sometimes. And despite getting better, there's still a slight sense of being barrelled into. An obnoxious old wired phone ringing, instead of the discreet chime of a text. Hey, just one word, not en an exclamation mark on it, and yet it's going to feel like there's one. It'll feel like Hey!, like Daniel spotting him from across the room and calling out with a bright smile on his face.

So. Hey, indeed.
