"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."

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.

[slightlyoffchilt]

You ought to ask him yourself. [A bit dry.] He named you as the catalyst -- not necessarily the hiring party.

[wizzardly]

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.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Just a weird thing to pin on you, isn't it? Strange. He gave an alias -- Arthur -- but that isn't what you want.

[wizzardly]

...Strange, yeah.

I guess if you find out more about him, you'll let me know? And - do you need anything?

[slightlyoffchilt]

No, no, this clarifies matters. A little more, anyway.

I'll be in touch, especially if anything more comes to light.

[wizzardly]

All right. And likewise, of course.
