Well, you know how it is. You find out a bloody dangerous person who already hates you now gets to think you're sending inept spies after him, it can make a person nervous. [he's tired of tiptoeing around his standing with the lord. Lucifer's gone; there's no point anymore.]
...Are you all right? Besides the - nose bit.

I got tased, and -- hypnotized, I think. So no, not all right. Still irate.
Not personal security, no. I cannot dictate the funds at the hospital I currently work at -- one more benefit to moving.
[the emphasis feels like a slap to the face. Rincewind shirks his shoulders.]
Well. After, then.
...Why would I send someone to your office to learn about him? Just - logically. I already know more about him than I care to. I really think you'd have less to say.

I'm always okay.
[April lets out a small huff as she pushes herself into a standing position. Totally using the couch to leverage herself up, messing with his settling just a tiny bit out of principle. ]
It's you jerks that keep me up at night.

I might, if I even knew his name.
[ah, but... that last does spark something. Why does that sound familiar?]
But I - wouldn't be to blame then. If I was. [sounding more uncertain.] For someone else getting some barmy idea about things, I mean. I've tried to keep you out of danger, not put you in it.

Just a weird thing to pin on you, isn't it? Strange. He gave an alias -- Arthur -- but that isn't what you want.
No, no, this clarifies matters. A little more, anyway.

[there are no words for the amount of insult this calendar smacks Rincewind across the face with (although, thankfully, not literally).
Heights. Good gods, why, out of everything terrible thing across every terrible world, is it always heights?
Tempting as it would be to throw away, the calendar ultimately ends up shoved inside a desk drawer. ...Just in case.]

[ Mark's voice is very, very, very casual. Which means it sounds a little fake, because Mark doesn't really do casual so much. ]
