Circumlocution
"Problems?"
Tosh shrugged. "I can't figure this thing out. It doesn't seem to be working."
Jack picked up the small, blue cube, turning it in his hands. "It's a Lorel music box." Putting it on Tosh's desk, he tapped the top twice. The Hub filled with gentle, tinkling music.
"It's lovely."
"Well, it's harmless, so hang onto it if you want."
"Thanks." Tosh frowned. "How did you know what it was?"
"I've seen one before."
"When?"
"A long time ago."
"Where?"
"You won't have heard of it."
She sighed. "Do you ever just answer the question?"
"Why do you ask?"
