"I'm broke, sugar."
--
"Shy?"
--
"Because it seems like the sort of thing that would happen. After a whole month with you, you'd say 'oh, by the way, it was you.' and I'd be right back where I started."

"I could prooobably handle that."
--
"How is it different?"

"So I stay here. I get to talk to your djinn. I don't cause trouble. I do stuff for you." He counts on his fingers as he goes.

"Are you suuure?"
---
"I don't know."

"Yes, I think so."
--
"How about humming?"

He grimaces and rubs his stomach. "So long as you don't break anything while you're in there."

"Deal." He smiles and scoots over to give her a kiss.
--
"Yeah. I want to hear."
--
"I can manage with what I have for now. List can bring me extra clothes."

"A lullaby."

"Super. List, could you pick up some things? You know.. Pajamas, toothbrush, etc."
List nods hurriedly and practically flees.

Yay!
---
"Okay." He thinks a moment, then starts to hum a quiet lullaby.
---
"And once I have taken my first look inside, you will be able to talk to the djinn."
