i ] voice...
[After having inspected the seal for long enough Julian thinks he knows what to do with it. Sitting cross-legged on his bed he addresses it in what he hopes is a suitably stern and authoritative tone:]
Now look here - [he falls sadly short of both stern and authoritative and ends up just sounding a bit petulant. He doesn’t usually get to try out his Angry Voice] - I don’t know who’s responsible for all this but I think it’s very poor form to drag people out here without so much as a by-your-leave. I didn’t want to come here in the first place and I certainly didn’t want your silly old music box! I have a cat to feed back home, you know - so...
[Julian trails off awkwardly. He already misses Oxford quite a bit, not just because of his and Rob’s cat but also because his life (or what passed for it) was so much easier there. When he resumes his tone has turned pleading - almost desperate:]
So... if anyone could point me in the direction of a train station I would greatly appreciate it. And Rob, if you’re listening? Let’s try and get back before sunrise, yeah?
