>>18613958Carmody listens to what Sola - this is NOT what she'd been expecting. Karna, Mare, and C.A.M.O.? She knows about Warhorse, they're the ones that just beat her sister Colby over and over again this past month. She takes Sola's phone and, with Sola guiding her, looks back through the text messages she mentioned. She winces when she sees the message that offended Karna; yeah, that's bad. But since Warhorse are Sola's friends, hopefully it'll be possible to convince them of the truth: this was just a bad choice of a comment, without any malice to it.
>"Okayyyy..... you messed up a little, but we can probably fix this, right? I don't know if you can get out of the match, since I see this text from management saying it's already booked, but I bet you can make things right with your friends.">"The first thing I'd do is take a few minutes to think it over, since this is still pretty fresh and you're upset by it. Get a little water, or another smoothie if you think that'd help, and think it over. Then figure out what you're gonna say to them."Carmody moves to an empty bench in the Dojo with Sola.
>"I'll sit down with you if you wanna talk it out, and if you want a second opinion before you hit 'Send' you can bounce it off of me first. If it were me, I'd keep it simple for now: tell her you're sorry, you didn't mean it, and you wanna make this right, and ask if you and them could talk later. It's easier to talk this stuff out in person sometimes. Things get misunderstood easily in a text."Something about Sola's contacts catches Carmody's eye just before she hands Sola's phone back, and she looks at the number under "Cobly".
>"Speaking of which, uhh, looks like you have Colby's phone number in here with a couple digits mixed up. She's (555) 123-4567."
