It's too bad Loop can't see the flinch they get. It's good for Siffrin, of course, but Loop would've surely delighted in it. There's a lot to address here, but--

(... It's selfish, of course it is, none of them want to get on with each other -- being civil is different, Elyisum had said, but asking them to get along just because you want them to...
... You really wish they would, though. This calling thing really is handy, if only not to see Loop's stupid face.) ]
[ Awww, boo. The hang up isn't surprising. How convenient it is to be able to do that when they aren't face to face. Loop can already imagine what kind of face he's likely making. Reality hurts, doesn't it?
It is a bit satisfying, even with that mingling bitterness. Hmmm... no, they'll leave it at that. Give it time to mull it over. ]
