"Why are you calling me? I'm feeding the otters." [Naya whispers as she throws the fish to her furry friends.]





"Ahhhh, I can smell the stink from over here."





"Seriously Silas, I'm at work. Our callship has not advanced that far that you can call me at the zoo."





"What in the world is a callship?"





"Do-"





"Nevermind, don't tell me. It's probably something really dumb."





"Fish you."





[Silas lets out a burst of laughter, coughing as a result.]





"What's up with you today? Gee."





"I'm not supposed to curse at the zoo. It's a fu-"





"Ah, ah, ah. Then you better watch your language there, sweetheart."





"Fudging dumb rule they imposed on me after I cursed out loud when I slipped in elephant dung."





"Good on them. I should fly over and hand them an award for that after infesting my ear with profanities every morning."





[Silas' voice is coarse now, breaking whenever he spoke.]





"Ha. Ha. Do you have something to tell me? If not, please piss off. The otters need my attention."





"Sorry I didn't wake you up this morning, I overslept."





"Silas Lancaster oversleeping? That's a first."





"Yeah, looks like my trip to Brazil-" [Again, he coughs but even harder, inhaling deeply each time he does as if gasping for air.]





[Naya puts the pail of fish onto the ground, worried.]





"Fuck, Silas are you okay? Are you sick?"





"Stop-" *coughs* "Flippin' cursing."





"Christ, please tell me you're not at work, you sound really sick."





[She takes off her gloves to handle the phone properly, her worries heightened.]





"No shit, Sherlock."





"Silas pl-" [Naya notices a herd of otters coming her way.] "Shit, shit, shit, the otters are attacking the pail."





"Guys, please, let me go! Silas is sick."





"Sweetheart, I'll call you tomorrow alright? Go handle the otters. Don't swear, okay?"





"It's okay, S-"





[The call ends and Naya sighs, lightly kicking the pail.]





"Fish you otters."
