Galladrabbles - Nerves
This week's @galladrabbles is inspired by my favourite Baba's, @energievie, prompt:
“Have a little compassion on my nerves. You tear them to pieces.” - Jane Austen

Ian looks at his half-orc on screen. He looks bored. He hasn’t moved for twenty minutes now while Mickey and himself keep chatting.
“Work’s been fucking crazy.” Mickey groans. “So glad the shift…ehm, the week’s over.”
“Absolutely.. Same. Everyone’s stretched thin.” Ian nods.
“Seriously! People should get their stupid shit together. How many accidents can happen in one city?”
“Accidents?” Ian’s heart jumps. What?
“Ehm. Nothing. Fuck. Ignore me. Just… I gotta go. Logging out. Over.”
Ian’s heart thuds heavily. Shift. Accidents. Over….
Fuck?! Has he been… fucking deaf? What the fuck! He knows that voice!
He knows Mickey’s voice!
