Octavia had been spending her afternoon over on the Samsara, trying to put her restless, twitchy energy to good use by actually making it look a little more hers on the inside. Not that she had a whole lot of her own stuff to put there.

She'd grabbed her phone to take a picture of the little shelf she'd put the two butterfly sculptures on when she saw a couple of texts had come in since she'd last looked at it. The picture of the Second Chance earned a mild frown. The second text made it deepen.

And then just as she was about to text him back, the last two came in, both practically at the same time. Wait, what happened? she sent back. Stared at the screen for a moment, then typed another text.

Call me when you can, okay? Ill come over if you need it

Sent that, too.

And then time kept passing, and she kept getting no answer. As she worked distractedly on some more things on her boat, no answer.

Duke?

When she returned to the Rouge to scrounge herself up some dinner, no answer.

Duke, this isn't funny

When it was late enough that she should have been getting ready for bed... No answer.

You better be home in a couple of days

It was going to be a long night.
