[ A moment later, his phone starts to ring. When he picks up, he'll hear snippets of her conversation with someone else: ]

—quietly. Just for a second.

[ There's the sound of her heels, and then a door closing softly behind her. And then! Far more importantly: ]

Jaune! One of my students grabbed my CereVice. Is everything okay?

--oh!

[ It's good to hear her voice. Really good. But now he feels a little silly for overreacting. ]

Y-Yeah, everything's fine here... I was actually worried about you over there. I heard that Blake went missing, and now Ruby is, too.

[ Blake, Ruby—

Pyrrha’s slow to respond immediately, eyes closing for a beat as she absorbs that information. Ruby and Blake, missing. The classroom seems far away, even if the door is sturdy up against her back, and there’s an unwelcome gnawing in her gut, deep and unforgiving. It’s the same feeling she had suffered their first few days, struggling with the possible lie of their ruptured world.

She doesn’t doubt for a moment that Yang would have torn up the streets looking for them. With a mental note to call Yang later - ]

I’m fine, Jaune. I’m right here.

[ Reassuring him is equally important. Her words are soft, tempo bound up by this news. ]

Why don’t we meet up for dinner in a few hours? We can look around for them. [ Just in case. ]

[ He's certainly reassured, at least in regards to her safety. But that still leaves him worried about his other friends, even if he's telling everyone that it's all going to be fine. ]

That would be great, Pyrrha. S-Sorry for calling at a bad time...!

[ It is a bad time, but - she's not about to make him feel bad over it. ]

It's okay.

[ A moment of silence, nearly somber, before she follows up, ]

Turn left. [ He'll see Pyrrha waving at him from one of the school windows as soon as he does. ]

[ Left? Right? The difference between them can be confusing, especially when under pressure. This is the guy who has "left" and "right" labelled on the soles of his shoes just in case of emergency, so it's no surprise to anyone that he first turns right. It's only for a few seconds, though, and he realizes pretty quickly that she meant the other direction!

When he sees her waving at him, he naturally returns the gesture to her, smiling fondly. No words are said during this exchange, the wave is both a friendly hello and an indication that he'll see her again soon. ]

[ She only has a moment left for distraction and spends it giving him a smile. Hopefully reassuring, definitely equaling his in fondness. ]

I'll see you in a bit.

[ The call ends as she scurries back into her classroom. ]

[ He stands there all on his own after the call, thinking back to her text from earlier. ]

Hang on... octopuses live on earth instead of water?

[ He'll need to double-check this animal fact while he waits for her to finish up. ]
