[He's not really interested, Ginny. Busy figuring out the logistics of this leg restraint.]

[The witch considers him for a few more moments, then bites back another sigh as she switches to video, as if giving him an accurate impression of her mother's stern glare will do much good.]

[Oh, god. Lectured by a teenage witch. He carries on as if he's going to ignore it for a long minute before replying.]

I want it off for a reason.

[It's okay, Chase. She sounds more like a teenager with this next singsong reply.]

[That just sets his teeth on edge.]

I can see you just fine from where I am. Besides, I've just changed into my pyjamas. Why don't you tell me here?

I don't have the time to play with you. Definitely don't have the interest. You want to talk, it's here or nowhere.

Why's my coming over there so important?

You get my reasons when you're here. I told you.

You're my friend, but I'm not going at the wave of a wand.

[Not this time.]

You tell me why I should leave, and we'll see if it's good enough for me to want to hear the rest.

What crawled up your arse and died?

Does this looks like your idea of a vacation spot?

[Who, Chase? is what she wants to say, but she swallows it back with remarkable restraint.]

I could earn myself a few more. What do you think? One bone broken for every hour I'm stuck here.
