"Yang phone. Phone. Phone. Hey Yang. Phone." Ruby continued when the phone went off. "Phone's ringing."<br/><br/>"I know, jeeze, I'm getting it." It was much, much later by the time the phone rang - close to eight or nine maybe. Ruby had already put up the pizzas (in the fridge, not her stomach) and Yang was just doing some mild house cleaning. She went into the kitchen and picked up the reciever. "Yello." She spoke in typical style.<br/><br/>"Hey, Yang, it's Vincent." It was Sveta's brother on the other end. Of<em>course</em>he had her number. She was one of Sveta's only friends, so if she wasn't at home, and not at Yang's, there would be cause for worry. "I'm just curious, Sveta's not home, so I was wondering if she was with you."<br/><br/>"Yeah, she kinda crashed out. Food coma." She explained without using the whole 'she's drunk off her ass' excuse. "She's been under for a bit, so she might be comin' out. I'll send her right home when she's back-"<br/><br/>"Don't feel you have to." He chuckled a little. "I just wanted to make sure she was fine."<br/><br/>"Peachy." Yang responded, an awkward pause falling over the two. "She wants to spend more time with you, you know." Vincent sighed deeply.<br/><br/>"I know... and I really want to spend more time with her... it's just... work, you know?"<br/><br/>"I know. And I know you're looking out for her, trying to give her a future and all that jazz... but maybe think a bit about the<em>present</em>once in a while, too." She chuckled. "Look, one older sibling to another, I know our little sisters can be a right pain in the - RUBY NO!" Yang turned around to see Ruby stealthily (or what she THOUGHT was stealth) attempt to steal a beer from the fridge. "We had this discussion, young lady, not until you're older!"<br/><br/>"UUUUUGH REALLY LETTIN' THE AIR OUTTA MAH TANK, YANG!" Yang shook her head.<br/><br/>"Fuck where was I? Right. I know our little sisters can be a pain sometimes, but I know you and I are in the same boat in this area... they've got no one else. Ruby's mother died, our dad is AWOL and my mother's in an institution. We're all they've got. Maybe call out tomorrow. Take her somewhere nice. I'm sure she'd enjoy that." A pause as this settled in.<br/><br/>"I may just do that... thanks Yang... sometimes I'm too busy thinking I'm doing right by her... I forget to ask if I am. Don't shove her out of the house. If she wants to head back, that's fine, but if she'd like to stay, let her stay."<br/><br/>"No probs. Now if'n you'll excuse me, I gotta go get the Angry Orchard Ruby shoved into her skirt pocket before she figures out it's not a twist off." Vincent laughed at this.<br/><br/>"Alright Yang. Thanks for watching out for my little sister for me."<br/><br/>"No problem."<em>Click</em>. They hung up. "Ruby! I know you took one! Bring it back."<br/><br/>"UUUUUGGGGGHHH!"
