He waited. Someone had to be on the other end. Landen was just opening his mouth to say hello? again when a woman began to speak quietly. Perhaps he'd worried her with his dismissal, but she wasn't selling anything. She was calling... He wasn't actually sure why she was calling, but he confirmed his identity and she mentioned Judy and five minutes later he knew far more about her than he might have wished. 

Silence fell between them. The awkward sort when no one really knows how to end it. Was it some sort of contagion? A magical disease? Attracted animals to you? Hell, he didn't care anymore, this was getting a little too close to home, he hadn't known Judy had left him as a contact, but since she had... He couldn't very well leave this girl to deal with everything on her own. And maybe Judy would like the company. As Ruth-Ann raised her eyebrows across the room at his hesitation, he took a breath and her apologetic desperation clinched the deal. 

"It's all right, Merry. It's a trouble you've found, same as Judy. What are you wanting to do then? We'll just talk this out together and you can take a few deep breaths, I'll try to help asI can."
