"You have reached Solus zos Galvus. I fear I am unavailable at the moment, but should your query be of an urgent nature, pray leave a message. I shall endeavor to return it anon."
There's no reply, mostly because Steven's too busy burying his face in his hands.
God. Why did he even try to be polite? Why did he reply to Hades in the first place? He should have listened to Tyler and pretended the asshole didn't exist.]
Your silence is telling. Mayhap my words have inspired reflection?
Regardless, I will say that your unexpected gesture, small though it is, was appreciated all the same. If you continue to surprise me, there may yet be a means to salvage that which you have damaged. Keep up the good work. Perhaps Hythlodaeus will make something respectable out of you yet.
[And a few minutes later, as an act of good faith? Or something...Steven will receive a picture of Nour and two other Yamask, one decidedly shiny and a touch smaller than the others, enjoying the poffins. He doesn't expect a response, but he figures that Steven might appreciate the evidence that his gesture paid off in some regard.]

Right.
Well, I suppose I'll see you in Blackthorn.
Give Nour my regards.
Goodbye, Emet-Selch

Take care of yourself, Steven.

That, however, will be the last message he'll get from Steven.]
