Esteban can't really... relate. Not right now, not anymore-- he'd been on the road for far too long, hasn't had a home in years, but. But.
It feels; he's not sure it's just... It can't be a goodbye. Not like this. Not this quiet, this gentle sorrow. He wishes he had another way, something to brighten up the grey, and even though he struggles, it goes against his nature not to try.
"Hey Ames!" He'd say he's sorry, but it's the only name he knows them by. And 'Dians, his voice is loud when he wants it to. "I'm one of Jake's friends! We're goin' to learn to make pizza from scratch t'gether, so y' better ask him to make it when he comes back, okay?~"
And that's that. He has still not learned how to hang up on a far-speaker device, but... well, he tried. Maybe it was out of line, maybe it was rude and painful for Jake to hear it, but... he couldn't not try. Not for Jake's sake. Not for-- whoever he was calling. He tries to offer a shoulder squeeze and a grin.
"We said we would, didn't we?" Back, way back when Esteban had just arrived. They still haven't, but the half-elf is determined. They absolutely will this time around. Now Jake has to learn, so that he can come back and bake it for Ames.
if he slipped that before or after the call ended, it's up to you~
