Right now?

[She's still getting used to this technology so she can't tell what sort of offer this is. Now? In person? Does she have to invite this relative stranger over? Is there a vinyl??]

[astraisborn]

Oh, not right now! You're not sleeping yet.

Or are you? I can sing for you if you want to sleep.

[incirculation]

No. [oh, no] No I will likely be awake for some time.

You simply want me to call you when I'm about to sleep? That sounds like it would be inconvenient for you.

[astraisborn]

I don't mind. I love singing, and if it helps, isn't it better?

Or is it because we don't know each other yet? We can always fix that.

[incirculation]

It certainly makes more sense to do that for a friend than a stranger but friendship should be built on something more solid, should it not?

[astraisborn]

Solid how?

[incirculation]

[uh.] Mutual interest, hobbies, shared time or location... I've never heard of sleep issues as a basis for a friendship.

[... but she has heard of people who are too nosy, too kind-hearted, and they certainly do have shared time and location here.]

[astraisborn]

Those are valid reasons to be friends, but I don't think you need to think too hard on it. Shared time or location... so even just sitting next to someone and having a conversation can be all it takes.

If I can help with your sleep issues, then that can be a start too.

[... she's reminded of someone and it makes her guard weaken just a bit.]

If it truly doesn't trouble you, I will call you when I am about to sleep.

[... so, is she going to call her in the morning or pretend that she's going to sleep at the start of night when her day is actually beginning? She's going to have to manage her lie carefully here.]
