Buzz. Buzz.
Shiloh raised an eyebrow at the computer. No visible electricity was escaping it's casing, but he half expected it to suddenly start on fire, anyway.
Buzz. Buzz.
Tentatively, he poked at the laptop. It chimed several seconds later, as if in reply to his touch, much to his surprise. He leaned forward, noticing text on the screen.

[10:13:15] sly: hey dad!
[10:13:46] sly: daad!
[10:14:03] sly: don't ignore me!
[10:20:52] You have been buzzed!
[10:22:24] You have been buzzed!
[10:22:59] sly: that bridge of communication is burning, dad. watch the smoke rise.

How odd... Well, when in Rome. He placed his fingers on the keys to compose a message, silently hoping it really was Silas (though, if it was he should be in class and not sending these messages). Five letters, a question mark, then the return key. He looked up immediately at the screen, making sure it went through alright.

[10:23:38] s.lyle: Silas?

Seemed so. The next chime brought a reply. In fact, there were several in rather rapid succession.

[10:23:51] sly: dad! there you are.
[10:24:29] sly: do you have any chocolate in your classroom?
[10:24:58] sly: there's this pretty girl and i kinda wanna give her something sweet, y'know.
[10:25:06] sly: still there, shiloh?

Shiloh blinked. That's what it felt like, at least. One blink and the kid had typed that much. To the request, he could only smile and bite his lip to keep from laughing aloud.

[10:26:49] s.lyle: Slow down. Yeah, I have candy bars in my room if you want a few. I also have chocolate frosting and graham crackers, kiddo.

Shiloh smiled to himself, proud to remember what a five-year-old version of Silas liked as a treat.

[10:27:08] sly: 'kay, i'll be there at lunch, shi.

Shiloh nodded to the screen, though Silas clearly couldn't see it, then leaned back in his chair. This was a start. A very good one at that.
