[She's about to hang up-- no, correction, she's about to repeat her performance from months ago of throwing her tablet against the wall, when something makes her stop. Literally, her arm, poised to throw, freezes in midair.
Whatever that something is, the world will never know. Because she doesn't even know herself.
After a time, she finally lowers the tablet to a position where it's more comfortable to speak, and with that, makes a decision to acknowledge that he's said anything to her. Acknowledge, not accept.]
( do something heroic! or, more likely, die or something. )
I didn't think about that. When the vessel went down, the only thing I was thinking about were the people I thought were still in it. ( and, thank everything, weren't ) ...but that's still stupid. Even if they were, I couldn't have done anything about it.
["Stupid" is an understatement. The understatement of the fucking century, let's be real here. That's the main point to be pulled out of that, and all she really needs to know.]
You weren't thinking at all. [She's such a nice little ray of sunshine 8D]
[Not exactly the reaction she was expecting. And it's not actually funny. At all. Right now, though, she can't bring herself to be angry about it.]
And it was really stupid.
[Because, in some ways, this is starting to feel eerily like a conversation she might've had with Prim when they were younger. Before Prim had grown up entirely too fast right before her eyes, when she still needed her guidance.]
voice; DONE
( okay now if she hangs up on him he did his part.
and he basically still deserves it, let's be real. )
voice; BRAVO

You were wrong.
voice;
I was! I really was. It was stupid of me.
voice;
What did you even think you were going to do? [Aside from, you know, die. Or something.]

( understand. there's a question hovering just at the tip of his tongue, though not one he dares give voice to just yet.
why do you care? )
I really am sorry. To still be making mistakes like this...and I caused you problems too, didn't I?
