"Oh.. I didn't even realize. Are you all right?"
--
It's a letter! It says: Richard. I visited your father. He won't leave without a lamp and some notes, and your arms have a spell on them. Sorry I couldn't make it. I had a dentist appointment." It is signed by Nathaniel.
List wrings his hands.
--
"I'm being nice."

He nods. "Yes. Just fiiine."
---
He looks up at List. "How is this supposed to help anything?"
---
"You're vandalizing his walls!"

"You should probably eat something."
--
List glances around and clears his throat. His voice is creaky and low. ".. It's.. a report."
--
"Painting them would be vandalism!"

"I am pretty hungry." He points outside. "Do you think they'd mind if I had a chicken?"
---
"It's a shitty report. What does he mean, there's a spell on my arms?"
---
"Russ! I'm serious. Why can't you even try?"

"So long as you don't.. chase it around."
--
"The way he.. explained it.. It's a dormant spell. If... your father tries to escape. The spell will activate."
--
"I am trying! I had breakfast with Matthew just the other day!"

"Ah. I might eat one of those then!"
--
"And do what?"
---
"And now you're defacing his property."

"Be gentle with it or Liz will get pissed." She folds her arms.
--
He stares for a moment, his eyes glowing. "It will.. connect you."
--
"You know, the world doesn't revolve around him."

"How do you be gently with something you're going to break the neck of?"
---
Richard pales and scoots a bit away from List. "..To Master Cervelli?"
---
"I'm perfectly aware of that. It doesn't make it okay to do.. to do that!" She points to the wall.

"Do it quickly, and away from the others."
--
"..Yes."
--
"That." He points to it. "Is perfectly fine. Bradley will clean it up."

"Fiiine. I'll do that."
---
"How do I get rid of it?"
---
"Don't use Bradley as some excuse. He has other things to do."

"Thank you."
--
"I don't.. know. He did not.. say."
--
He froooowns. "An excuse?"

"You're welcome?"
---
Richard's eyes water but he glares through it as he starts to shred the paper. "I'm not helping Nathaniel if my father isn't here, and I can't help if I'm bound to Master Cervelli."
---
"Just because we have someone who will clean after you doesn't make it okay for you to do whatever you want."

"What are you going to cook?"
--
List watches him with a blank expression.
--
He reaches out to smear some polish onto her nose.

"Chicken."
---
"Tell him that." Richard turns to stomp out the door.
---
She quickly moves back, frowning at him. "Don't!"

".. I sort of figured that much."
--
List nods solemnly and melts back into the shadows of the room.
--
He sighs and turns around to write her name on the wall.
