Hope was in charge of calling Josie. Hope called Josie many times. So probably yes.

[She does not know that Hope's conversation has been derailed with talk of family drama.]
bibrid: (that's because)

( Lizzie listens to the conversation about, well, her so she stops on the top step, sitting. )

They're talking now. I have to call Danny. Are you going to be okay?

Oh yeah, I'm good. Rebekah's been giving me water and I'm gonna go to sleep soon. Tell Danny I said hi! We will talk about Surprise Uncle when I'm sober.

[Because she can tell that that's going to be a heavier conversation.]

You're staying there?

( But, the narration will just assume drunk Alice hangs up on Lizzie, thinking it's polite, and not -- caring. Also, she needs to be put to bed. But in a sweet way. )

Belly of the freakin' Mikaelson's.

( She does math in her head and doesn't care about the time difference as she leans against the wall of the stairwell dialing her boyfriend's number. )

[Where else was she going to stay, Lizzie? Her father is married to one of them.

Anyhoo, fortunately for Lizzie, the doctors have diagnosed her boyfriend with a small concussion, so he is not allowed to sleep just yet. He hears the phone buzzing and smiles when he sees Lizzie's face on his screen.]


I take it you talked to Alice?
bibrid: (that's the waiting room)

[personal profile] bibrid 2025-07-08 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
Messaged. Voice-messaged. Then talked. I need to work with her on getting the right information out right away, but I got the gist, and she got bourbon. She said you were fine, though. Are you fine?

( BE FINE. )

I have a small concussion, but otherwise I am very fine.

[He will leave out the part where he almost wasn't with the fire and the vampires.]

My magic protected me from a lot of it.
bibrid: (that can't be)

[personal profile] bibrid 2025-07-08 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Nothing about a small concussion is very fine. Someone better be making sure you don't fall asleep, Elm Street-style or I am calling that shady GPS witch and coming there myself.

( A beat from the other end, Bonnie leans over: "Hi, Lizzie." A beat. "I'll give you two a few minutes. Call me back in when you're done. Bye Lizzie!" )

...Too bossy?

[personal profile] undermyfeet 2025-07-08 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
Nah, just bossy enough.

[He, personally, likes it when she's bossy.]

But really, I'm okay. No broken bones, no impalements - I got off lucky. Damon's friend Melanie got skewered with a chair leg, but fortunately she's a vampire and it missed her heart.
bibrid: (that's the waiting room)

[personal profile] bibrid 2025-07-08 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
You could've been skewered?

( Calm down. Big breaths. )

Then we can celebrate you were only concussed. ( a sigh as she checks her watch. ) Call me in a few hours. I can keep you up better than Bonnie can, okay? Also, juicy gossip at chez Saltzman-Parker.

I'm excited to hear it.

[He will not tell Bonnie about Lizzie's assessment of the situation. Though speaking of her parents:]

The explosion won't affect your parents letting you come out for winter break, will it?
bibrid: (that's take-worthy)

[personal profile] bibrid 2025-07-08 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't asked, but I'm more than meets the eye, and I don't give off witch. That's the siphon in me. If only I could keep the word Gauntlet out of their mouths. Until I say otherwise, your bed in London is also my bed in London.

( which -- feels bossy again. but, they're long distance. she knows he likes it. )

Besides. Your "friend" likes when people owe him favors so if worse comes to worse, I'll sign a big fat IOU. You're worth it, Danny.

Sure. If David's still alive by Christmas, we'll do that.

[Right now, that's looking dubious. He is the one who's actually murdering the Inner Circle, after all.]

But good. Because I'm really looking forward to that. I miss you.
bibrid: (that's deep)

[personal profile] bibrid 2025-07-08 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
Way to wave your optimism flag.

( Is it that bad? She'll learn just how bad it is on their later phone call. )

I miss you, too. Even if I've been getting better at -- not telling you. I am. I got to go. Ears in the house.

[personal profile] undermyfeet 2025-07-08 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
Alright, alright. I'll call you when you're less likely to be eavesdropped on.

[There's a smile in his voice regardless as he goes to hang up.]

Talk soon, love.

[And with that, he'll call Bonnie back in and leave Lizzie to her evening.]
