Madison squeezed his hand back, even though the hand felt utterly strange in her own; the overall picture was entirely surreal, and would have freaked her out if she hadn't known who'd been controlling that hand. "It's okay - it's not your fault, so... uh..." She paused. "What's it like? Being, uh, Caelius... ish. Is his weapon...? Circe, I mean." She leveled a knowing gaze at him. Not the weapon in his pants, Robert. She's on to you.

Robert opened his mouth but when she clarified Circe, he shut it again. Shut down. He shrugged, and gave her a cocky grin. "She won't talk to me. She won't even let me summon her, what a b***h." His phone beeped, and he moved to pick it up, but paused and looked up at Madison. "Do me a favor, okay? Keep this between us. And Jordan, he knows. Otherwise, if it gets out, they might kill me 'cause I'm all, you know. In a body with too much access. Like I really care about what the ******** these bitches are planning." He rolled his eyes, but there was a tempered worry behind them. "So uh, yeah. No talking about it. Okay?" Then he flipped his phone open, and pursed his lips. It actually looked kind of Cael-ish. "Guys got too much going on, I tell ya. He needs a vacation."

"Even if I told people, I don't think they'd believe me," Madison said, giving him the side-eye as he unconsciously adopted a very Caeliusy pose. "But yeah, secret's safe, at least on my end, and I guess Caelius isn't going to be spreading it around... I don't think." She tried to picture Caelius on a vacation and failed. "I don't think he knows the meaning of the word, dude. So how long is this swappy-thing going to last? It's not... it isn't permanent or anything, right?" Please, please don't let it be permanent.

Robert hiccuped and put his beer down, frowning deeply. "He said it's gonna be like, a day. So since we woke up like this, if he's right, that means tomorrow I'm gonna wake up and be back in my old, sexy body. Then we can forget this day ever happened, and everyone will live happily ever after."
He swished the bottle, the small amount of liquid at the bottom swirling at the movement. "Anyway, I think I need some time to think about s**t." The tone was not sad, simply resigned. He sounded more himself, in that moment. "I'll call you if anything goes wrong."

"Okay - uh, you'll call me with... Caelius' phone, right?" Madison hesitated. "Take care of yourself, okay? And Caelius' self, I guess. Though if you got him all buzzed that could be hilarious," she added, leaning in to whisper that last to him. Just in case.
