Irving Braxiatel. Terribly sorry, but I am far too busy to answer the phone just now, but please do leave a message. Don't reverse the charges. Thank you.
[Brax's hearts sink a little at this news but takes it in stride as he doesn't doubt the Doctor expects him to do.]
Understood. Try not to get into mischief, Thete.
['Thete'. The only sign he's worried about him, the childish nickname that he only used on the Christmas presents and never out loud; the full stop signalling that he doesn't expect a reply; both belying the chiding nature of the words themselves which only grants the Doctor the luxury of ignoring sentiment.]
[He doesn't reply, as he doesn't really need to. Brax knows how grateful he is for that measure of fraternal affection shown in the use of that nickname from their childhood. It gives him enough warmth and willingness to put one foot in front of the other to last him to Utgard.]
