"Angie, no. That's not what I meant!"

"Promise?"
---
"I see."

"What exactly did you mean, then?" She glares at him.
--
"Yeah."
--
"Yes, it's really a shame."

"Angie, yes, I'm afraid. But hear me out, okay?"
---
"Matthew has a pool." She scoots closer to him.
---
"And this is why your appearance has changed?"

"Talk fast, mister."
--
"Ah." He puts an arm around her. "Well I'm not swimming naked in there."
--
"Yes. I'm growing up."

"I'm not afraid of you. I'm afraid of everything that could go wrong."
---
"Then borrow a suit."
---
"Fascinating."

"Like what? That doesn't make sense."
--
"But he's already worn it."
--
"Not fascinating. Annoying."

"Angie, lately things don't go well for me. Even when I think they are, something bad happens. Edan is lost with that madman, we now know another one wants me dead, the idiot who arrested me is your bodyguard, and I'm sorry, Angie, but I don't have faith that the full moon won't somehow cause another disaster."
---
"So? He doesn't have cooties."
---
"Oh, it's quite fascinating. How is this eye used? What ritual is involved?"

"You just lump me right in with all the other stupid things."
--
"He most definitely might."
--
He sighs. "Can I talk to the djinn now?"

"No, you're the only good thing in there. So stop it."
---
"He doooesn't."
---
"Certainly. Right this way." Edan stands and turns to lead the way.

"Stop it?" Frown. "So I get a little miffed when my lover tells me he thinks I'll bite him."
--
Hmph.
--
He blinks and stands to follow.

"I'm just tired of being ill, and of being the weak one here!" He points to the door. "And even if you can control it, that moron out there can't. Out of everyone around here, who do you think is the easiest target for him to chew on?"
---
"It wouldn't kill you."
---
As they walk he pulls a small knife out from his sleeve. He holds it out to Nat. "I'm feeling so generous today. I'd like you to cut the djinn."

"You're a djinn, aren't you? Can't djinn do loads of things? How is that weak?"
--
"So long as they're extremely clean."
--
He reaches for the knife. "Cut the djinn? Why?"

"I've been able to disappear. That's it."
---
"I will put Bradley on the job."
---
"You get to perform an experiment. Make the cut. Then visit tomorrow to see how well it has healed. It will be most enjoyable." He smirks as he stops in front of the door to place his hand on the runes. "Of course, my own experiments may cause certain inaccuracies. You will get the idea though."

"You could probably do a lot more."
--
"He would probably do all right."
--
"Huh." He looks at the knife curiously as he waits for the door to open.

"How?"
---
"Mmhmm."

"Don't forget to return my knife." The door opens!
