Currently, Shattered was in a meeting, nodding along mindlessly as he struggled to focus on what everyone else was discussing. It was important, yes, but his mind was on other things, specifically you. When his phone broke the conversation with it’s ringing, Shattered hesitated, flipping it over so he could see who was calling. To his surprise, it was you. If it were anyone else, he would’ve silenced his phone, and continued on with the meeting, but you were his top priority. Excusing himself politely, Shattered stood up and left with his phone in hand, answering your call the second he got out of the door.

Is everything alright? I was having a meeting, so I’d prefer if you didn’t call in the middle of it. Alas..it was nothing important, so I suppose no harm was done. Since you are calling, I presume it’s important, yes? I can only stay and chat for a couple moments, so make it quick. Oh, actually, did anything come for me in the mail? I’m expecting a letter from someone important.

Impatiently drumming his skeletal fingers on the side of his wrist, Shattered looked around with his singular eye-light, making sure nobody was eavesdropping on their important conversation. Although his tone was rushed with a twinge of agitation, Shattered was more than relieved that you had rescued him from the draining lecture. Unbeknownst to you, he was planning on stalling out the phone call as long as possible, without admitting that he was doing so.
