"So you don't want to talk?"

"What on earth would persuade you?"

He finishes exactly half of the food then sets the rest on the nightstand.

"..My brother and my work."

"A flask of blood for the answer to one questions."

".. Thank you."

"What about your work?"

"What would it take to let me speak with the djinn?"

"I'm sorry, I'm just not hungry."
---
"I don't have enough to do."

His eyes narrow. "What makes you think I have a djinn?"

"It's okay.."
--
"Oh. I could mess things up a bit if you want."

He brightens. "Oh, could you?"

"Do you need anything else?"
--
Russ looks at him in surprise. "Seriously?"

"No, thank you."
---
"I can run errands too. If you wanted to just sit in bed a day, I could bring everything to you."

"How about a bath?"

"Hmm." He taps his chin and considers the possibilities. "We could do that one day, sure."
