"Er... yes, okay, I suppose I should tell you that if you're trying to reach me I'm not here, and if you're trying to reach me because you want to do something involving pointy bits of metal or otherwise painful objects, I'm never going to be here. So sorry."
Raina is gone. [A blurted, broken three words -- shards in his mouth.] She's gone and I don't know if she's coming back and I can't sleep in our bed any longer.
Oh it's nothing as serious as that. [reluctantly admitted.]
He's only a bastard Lord who thinks it fine to insult and poke at me because he thinks I'll put up with it. [and with anyone Rincewind saw as a threat - which is generally most everyone - he would. But Petyr has well and truly gotten under the wizard's skin, and he has no terrifying muscles or powers to cow him into non-action.
Not to mention that after this whole business with Lucifer, Rincewind is a little desperate for some sense of control - any control. Controlling how annoyed Petyr is seems a fine place to start. Downright therapeutic.]
He's also absolutely trying to flatter Chilton into - into something but I can't figure out what. Just rather slimy and unpleasant all around. Grand vizier sort, you know. Even if he isn't actually.
[Oh. There's a long, uncomfortable silence. Rincewind silently panics. Gods, Raina is practically the man's wife, she can't be gone, not for good.]
Right. Okay. Okay. Um. You will absolutely need more wine then. Shall I - are you at home? I could bring you something. Have you eaten?
[he has next to know idea how to comfort someone on the loss of a loved one, but filling them with comforting food and drink seems a good place to start.]
God, he's only a slutty shrink. Why do people even-
[But it's a Baltimore thing, she guessed. Like Will attracting serial killers, Fred got egomaniacs. Maybe he'd had a threesome with this Lord and Raina already.]
['Enough to make me feel better' isn't exactly quantifiable, so give him a minute here.]
On a scale of one to ten... let's say a four.
[it's probably best he be careful, considering he doesn't yet know how far April's scale goes; witches and vengeance sometimes pair a little too well.]
Not yet. I could bring over some food if you like, pick something up? I rather like pizza, if that appeals. Or - or just a salad, if you're worried about those "carb" things Jeff's always going on about. I could also make you baked potatoes, I've gotten good at those.
You'll need to send me the address, but I do know you live here in the city. Rather convenient, that.
[which feels good to say in a world where he's reasonably sure they can't hear him. He sits again, then slowly lays back as well, legs dangling off the edge.]
...I don't know that I ever thanked you for not minding my living here. But thank you.
That is the saddest thing you ever said. Don't let Luggage hear that. It's a bad example.
[ April almost forced her way into her first living situation in this world. There was none of this touchy feely stuff. Just fierce house-protection. ]
