"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."
- I didn't say I'm working against Baelish. [a sharp, sudden correction, partly stirred by that ominous "eventually". Rincewind has never found his mood lifted by vague and suspicious non-answers.]
Don't go getting the wrong idea. That's how this bloody idiot's gone and got me in trouble in the first place. And hurt Dr. Chilton in the process for no damned good reason, so no, I wouldn't say I'm in favor of anything about him.
If he'd had questions about Baelish, he could have asked me and avoided this whole mess altogether.
[ Mark frowns just a little bit. And pulls back on his aggressiveness, too. It wouldn't do to have Rincewind get too suspicious. This is an information-gathering session, not a fucking-himself-over-and-tipping-his-hand session. ]
I thought he only got hit with a - [ What was the term Chilton had used - ] Stun gun.
The security - ? [what footage? What does he mean by that? - Could he mean the video that little flying idiot was recording? Had he gotten hold of that somehow? But the only way he'd even know about that would be - ]
Oh that bloody knight. [this in a snarled mutter under his breath.] Look, they can't hold that against me, it's not like it was murder, he was trying to kill me!
I've no idea what that is, but apparently he nearly broke Dr. Chilton's nose. So good riddance, whoever he is. Only I can't even say that, because everyone seems to think I know him somehow.
No. [a sure answer from someone who spent too many years with an unwanted tenant in their head.]
Look, let's just skip the interrogation and get right to the end of this, shall we? You've got him on camera, right? Well, show me the video and I'll tell you if I know him.

Have you ever felt like when you were spending time with someone, you lost time? It may be indicative of them milling around in your mind.

Date: 2016-10-29 04:48 pm (UTC)Oh, I should tell you - I'm putting together a bit of a surprise party for Dr. Chilton on the 1st. It's at the Iron Throne. Will you come?

Date: 2016-10-30 02:03 am (UTC)A flutter of defiance in Rincewind's battered heart nearly prompts a "But then I'll have to avoid you."
Instead, miserably, he answers:] Right. At the party, then.

Then you'll be there?
