"Good morning, princess."

"Malea isn't here right now."

"That sounds like a threat."

"Its not meant to be. I just wanted to see who she was talking to. Who are you to her?"

"I'm... her brother."

"Ah, I see. Wait, if you're her brother, with how old your voice sounds - No offense - why aren't you taking care of her?"

"I, uh, can't, exactly..."

"Oh, well that's okay. I'm glad to take care if her, and you can always talk to her, or even come visit her! I'm sure she'd love that."

"Haha, you're probably right. But I think I need to stay out of her life, physically at least, for now."

"That's okay, I'm sure we can make it work. You're family after all, so I'm sure she'll understand."

"I talked with her about it a while ago, so she does."

"That's good, saves me from having an awkward conversation, haha."

"True, haha. What's your name again?"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself? Stupid me, haha. I'm Rebecca Wilson. And you are?"

"I'm Dean."

"Nice to meet you, Dean. You can call me Rebecca."

"Okay Rebecca. Where is Malea, by the way?"

"She's still sleeping, actually. She doesn't have school today."

"Why not?"

"Flooding, I think. She'll be back in school next week for sure."

"Great. When you get the chance, have her call me."

"Will do. I have to go now, I'm sorry."

"Nahh, it's fine. Bye Rebecca."

"Bye Dean."

TWO HOURS LATER
RING...

"Hello?"

"Morning Dean!"

"Good morning princess, how are you feeling today?"

"I'm good. I don't have school today, so mom said to do whatever I want! I don't know what to do so I called you."

"Alright, well how about you play with some dolls?"

"I don't feel like it."

"What about playing outside?"

"Eww, no! It's raining, and I don't wanna get wet!"

"Haha, okay... I don't know what else you'd want to do, go ask Rebecca or something."

"Okay, bye Dean!"

"I didn't mean I wanted you to leave!"

"Oh, haha! I'll just bring you with me. So how are you?"

"I've been better."

"Aw, are you Okay? Did something happen?"

"No, not really. I don't know..."

"I hope you feel better soon!"

"Haha, I'm not sick, Princess."

"I know? I just want you to be happy."

"Just hearing you say that makes me happy, princess."

"Hehe, I love when you call me that."

"Well, you are my princess."

"Death get your ass in here!" Lucifer yelled, sounding pissed off. "Five people have tried to die in the last two minutes, and you have yet to go collect their souls! They are suffering because of you! What are you even doing?"

"Fuck. Malea, I need to go."

"Oh, okay. I wish you didn't..."

"I know, I wish I didn't either. But we'll talk tomorrow, alright?"

"Alright, bye Dean."

"Talk to you later, princess."

CALL ENDED

"I'm going to fucking murder you for that, Lucifer."

"Go get the fucking souls, I don't have time for your bullshit right now."
