[ It is not a request and certainly isn't framed as such. Without any true basis or baseline to pull from every deviation from the norm must be treated as an emergency. It has, unfortunately, tipped Adelaide into locking down on work mode- she'll have to speak to Solas as soon as possible. ]
( And maybe that sounds a little more like Ruby and less like the Depression Edition. She really, really doesn't want to make Adelaide feel bad, or act like some kind of brat. The shortcoming is her own, not anyone else's.
She doesn't wait for a reply, just hangs up, because she needs to wallow for a little while. )
