[The feed opens to show Moran apparently in the Lunar Scientia library, surrounded by books and scrolls.]
XunXian, I don't know when i'll be able to make it home. They just told us we are snowed in and the gates to the building cannot be opened. They don't know when they can get someone to clear it up.
Do you have enough of something hot to drink? Any food? Don't forget to do that, too. If it gets cold and you need an extra robe, I'll find a way to get one to you.
[ He means every word but he's also not really fretting. Just checking. ]
The building still has energy and the cafeteria is functional, so we should be fine for the time being. There weren't many of us in the building at that time, so we are in no risk of running out of food.
[Since when do you worry indeed.... he assumes he does not have to answer 'since forever'.]
Sue, we can leave the connection open. I'll probably be working more, though.
[But then, you have been known to just sit and stare at him in person while he's working, so probably doing it over a screen is nothing out of the ordinary.]

And here I thought we'd spend a nice evening together, exchanging notes.
[ And kisses.
He returns the camera to his face, still pouting. ]
And wings would have been nice now. They can't open the doors but they should be able to open a window, right?
[ No, he's not worried yet. Give him a few hours. ]

Sorry. This will have to do for now.
I am assuming we will be notified once the situation is resolved. I'll be out when I can.

[Another glance at the screen with a smile.]
You don't need to worry.

[ But the self-irony is so mild, and mostly swallowed by the soft look. ]
Mm, how about I stay in the call until they let you out, in case something changes? I'll find a way to get something to you.

[ Xunxian flaps a hand. ]
Go ahead, I'll be right here.
[ There might even be a guqin solo later. If it seems like Moran is getting frustrated or something. ]
