Gage tilted his head in surprise when he realized it was not a telemarketer calling him. He perked up from his overly relaxed state in the desk chair he had plopped into. "Oh! Hello Davir," he said, the surprise showing in his voice. He chuckled as he heard commotion in the background, though it was distorted by the phone line. Davir's sister's reminded him of Maria and that made him smile.

"I forgot that I gave you my number, but I'm happy to talk to you." He ran a hand over the smooth and clean wood of his desk as he talked. Because he had been playing music until now, it was hard for his fingers to stay still. On a whim, he reached out until his hand met the keyboard that sat on his desk up against the wall. He pressed his fingers against the keys without turning it on so no sound came out. This was good enough. "You sound nervous...don't worry, I'm nocturnal by nature. I wouldn't be sleeping at an hour like this."
