"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've no ideas yet. [a beat.] Well, I may have convinced a sort of priestess princess sort that he has a drug habit in need of "holy guidance", but that's about it.
I thought it would be good to point him out to you. Know your enemy, sort of thing.
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.
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.]
[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. ]

[patiently.]

That doesn't sound fun.

[cowardice in all things, April. This is the way of the Rincewind.
He shrugs a little helplessly.]
Sorry. It's all right if you'd rather not.

Everyone lets secrets out on the network. Eventually.
