[ he might actually be muttering "oh no, oh no" under his breath as he puzzles over how to respond. chances are she's suffering the same glitch that got him into an even deeper mess with the izunias, but... ]
Perhaps you'd do better to ask one of your friends to come over instead?
Unless you're feeling unsafe for some reason, I don't feel it would be appropriate for me to visit at this hour.
[Penelope's next response comes after several minutes. As she takes a moment to really look at the responder. She had actually sent those messages but...]
Oh. God. Dammit. I was trying to send this to Aria.
I'm sorry, Noah. I'm not feeling unsafe, just anxious. I just don't deal well with being alone anymore.
I recently had to deal with the fallout of the wrong person getting the wrong text, myself. [ still dealing with it, really, but still— ] Seems to be a common problem of late.
Honestly though, I've never said any of that out loud.
Not even to Vaan and you.
It was like someone read my diary and spliced together my voice seamlessly from clips, and I'm not sure there's anything the police can really do about that.
3/2, Text and Misfire.
Can you come by, or are you busy?

Excuse me?

[ no, really. he understands painfully well. ]

[What a pain. What an ugly pain.]
And that stupid video about my brothers that I never made, but it went viral anyway. On top of paparazzi chasing me and Vaan.
This week has been a mess for everyone it sounds like.

[ it's the only part of that response that he feels won't open up any further discussion into the hell he's been living lately. hopefully. ]
I knew your videos were popular but I never thought they were quite *that* popular.
no subject
[She doesn't want to dig too deep into his problems. He's prickly and she's already teased him a lot this week.]
But ever since that fake confession video went viral, I've had a bunch of weirdos stalking me. Did you see that? It was all over facebook.

[ it's a lie, but he's trying to be kind. ]
Have you considered filing a police report? Might do some good for your peace of mind, at least.

no subject
And the paparazzi? If you're being stalked, I should think that more than serious enough to warrant police attention.
[ more than serious. in fact he might just go ahead and look into that himself... ]
no subject
I mean, the paparazzi really do need to stop. For me and for Vaan. I guess I can put in a report tomorrow.
no subject
You do that. I'll make sure it's taken care of.
no subject
Seriously, I don't know what I'd do without you sometimes.
