Yin sat down beside her, perching gingerly on the bed, watching her open the bag. "You brought things?" There was obvious confusion here.
Confusion quickly replaced with panic. "Oh maybe we should not bother him if it is not necessary." Because their parting had...not been great. A message had been left with a number, but he had not even attempted to talk to him, not that Yin probably would have opened the door.

Danny got the bag open and dumped its contents straight onto Yin's lap. Out came things nearly identical to Mei's, but more personalized to Yin. There were chocolates, snotcorn, racecars and gum just the same, but at the same time there was also jerky strips, a pack of tiny aphid snacks (Danny had help with that one!) and a jingly collar for Princess Eva.
Moments later a bomb minipet came out of the bag, cackled and exploded into thin air, inches from Yin's face.
Danny's eyes went wide. "Oh gosh! Yin I'm sorry, I dunno how he got in there..." she said sympathetically, but Danny was a horrible liar. Mischievous delight was painted quite plainly across her face.

Half of the stuff that came falling out of the bag...Yin had no idea what they were. Well, food of some sort, but nothing he had ever actually tried before. And small little toys that if anything reminded him of Miss Octavia. Something did look like meat however, and those were interesting, as well as...bugs? His eyes seemed to widen as he reached for the packet, hands brushing over...only the most perfect thing in all creation! A pink collar that...it jingled! Princess Eva also seemed interest as she began to make her way toward the collar.
He saw something out of the corner of his eye but thought nothing of it until the explosion happened. He jerked backwards in surprise, glancing over to Miss Danny who seemed...happy? He did not have a chance to be upset though because Princess Eva was demanding his attention, and pawing at the collar. She had never really taken to them before, but since it was from the crown princess...He reached out to slip in on her, a small grin crossing his face as she began to preen. "Miss Danny you should not have, really." But if there was one weakness he had he simply could not refuse gifts for the rabo. "Thank you." Never before had he literally been showered with gifts.

A serious frown crossed her face. "I ... was I not supposed to?"
Danny had a confused.

"I do not deserve such gifts." Really, she was spoiling him.
Still, his hand had slipped a bit possessively over that packet of aphids...

Yin looked at her, eyes shining in youthful innocence. "Oh Miss Danny you are much to kind for me."

Yin was confusing her. Apparently she wasn't supposed to, but at the same time she was, but she was also really nice? How did that even make sense?
She bit her lip and stared at him for a little while longer, not sure how to respond. Eventually she decided to just move on, because this made no sense to her whatsoever. It was somewhat reminiscent of how they functioned as friends, really.
"So ... how about that phone call now?" she said hopefully, pulling the phone out of her pocket and offering it to him.

Yin and Miss Danny went together like ham and apples. It just worked.
The sight of the phone was almost terrifying. "Oh but I...I do not know how to make it work! And um...Alexander broke his phone...um...he left me a message but I cannot call." There was almost relief as he pointed at the slip of paper with the number. He had no idea how to make it work, he was safe.

Oh s**t.
Oh s**t.
Danny was smarter than someone for once in her life.
"Don't worry! I can call for you!" she said happily, snatching the paper from his hands before Yin could even get a word in. She tapped the numbers out quickly and listened until she could hear it ring.
Once that was successfully accomplished, she pushed the phone against Yin's ear and into his hands so he could talk to his boilfriend and make up. Then everything would be peachy keen in her eyes.
Well almost everything.

No wait.
Wait.
Wait just a minute.
There was a ringing as he automatically reached up to grab the eyephone, at least knowing how to hold the piece of technology. "I'ts making a weir--"
"Hello?"
His voice was cut off by one that was thankfully somewhat familiar to him. He looked flustered though as he carefully spoke into the phone. "Lady Van Rotte?"
There was only one boil that really spoke like that. "Yǐn Cáng? Just a moment, let me get Alexander for you." He could hear a muffled shout of Alexander's name. She spoke again, voice sounding relieved and actually fairly happy. "You know how Alex is, it might take him a minute or two to get over here. Oh, there he is! Phone call for you Alexander!"
"Hello."
Then there was an all too familiar voice. It was a relief just to hear it, if he was speaking it meant he was probably okay. He did not sound quite like his usual cheerful self but that could be ignored. Yin was silent for a moment, not sure how to begin. "Um...er...Alexander I just...uh...I wanted to make sure that you...you were safe?"
A slight pause. "I'm fine."
There was an audible click.
Not knowing what that meant Yin looked slightly puzzled. "Oh well...okay then. I just...I mean..." This was hard, really hard. "I hope your trip is going well." Was that okay? He waited for a moment, then another moment before looking at Miss Danny. "Did I mess something up?"

Danny smiled encouragingly, nodding as he spoke. They were just simple greetings and hellos, so it wasn't exactly an exciting development. Lady Van Rotte? Was Alex turned into a ghoul? Then again, Danny had never confirmed that he was a guy....
The whole thing started off rather slowly, and ended far too soon for Danny's tastes. Yin looked stressed, and Danny grabbed the phone, putting it to her ear. Dialtone.
She frowned, but it was a confused one, not a concerned one. "Hmmm ... maybe service is bad?" she pondered. She shrugged and put the phone back in her pocket. "If you wanna, we can call back later, yeah?" She grabbed Yin's hand, forgetting how touchy he was with things like that. "Saying sorry is hard! You can just try again later."
As far as Danny was concerned, there was no need to push Yin. If you tried TOO hard, it would just push Alex away altogether. The apology-over-the-phone was a situation she was all to familiar with, unfortunately.

Yin began trying to casually trying to pull his hand from hers as he responded. She was simply going above and beyond his quotas for touching people, and she had already gotten away with quite a bit more than most other people, trading in on both friendship and on being a ghoul.
"Um...its okay actually, I know he got there safely." It had not been a very descriptive response, but at least he knew he was safely at his home. "I can always talk to him after he gets back." Explain...maybe why. That he did not really feel bad for what he did because he was trying to protect him, but Alexander had been right, he should have shared more information with him. If he was disgusted then...well he would distance himself from Yin of his own accord.
"Thank you for letting me use your eyephone,"

Danny lit up. "Oh! That's good!" she said happily. She was glad that Alex was safe and not off somewhere dangerous. If Yin and him could talk more, that'd be good, but for now ... well for now things were just dandy!
She looked at the pack of aphids and said, "Okay you've had your hand on those since I gave them to you." She gave a light chuckled and said, "You can eat them silly!"
Meanwhile Danny contented herself playing with the racecars.
Again.

Once again uncertainty had him not exactly feeling hungry, but it was a kind gift. He opened the pack with limited difficulty, shaking out a few into his hand before popping them into his mouth. Delicious. They did cheer him up a bit really, a good feeling of nostalgia washing over him.
"Would you like some?" He offered, holding out the bag as he watched her with the racecars. Huh, so that was what you did with them.
