Sharky,

Yes, we are indeed. In fact, you gave Oswald more than a few rather interesting ideas when you last spoke to him that could be quite enjoyable to pursue should you wish to.

No secrets this time, you are welcome to tell Deputy Pratt if you so wish. Especially if it will render him less likely to cause me harm.

Sharky,

Magical...
Yes, I suppose in times past I would have described it thus.

Although it did not quite go the way I'd planned, it felt as though there were no other way it could have gone.
We danced, and he sang, and all the pieces fell into place one after the other until the picture we'd each had only one part of finally became whole.

I don't think Oswald believed it to be truly real until the next morning.
I'm still not sure I believe it to be real.

Sharky,

It is something we discussed. I certainly won't be paid for it anymore โ€“ not that I could be here anyway โ€“ but I am thankfully allowed to resume some of my duties, under the strict proviso that I stop if it becomes mere obligation.

You're right to be concerned, and I thank you for it, Oswald and I have more complexity than a simple power dynamic between us, however I think โ€“ I hope we shall be able to navigate whatever comes together.

Sharky,

I cannot see how it could be difficult to imagine, the changes to my form were largely made to improve my work.

Oswald is well aware what articles of clothing he need fear for, he knows better than to leave such things anywhere visible.

Sharky,

I have considered the possibilities and found them unacceptable.
I cannot fault your choice of wardrobe given you have lived only in a time when "fast fashion" and predominantly synthetic fabrics are the norm, but Oswald deserves finer things.

Sharky,

That I can understand, Oswald and I spent a month living on charity when we first returned. Clean and undamaged clothing is far more important than other considerations.

Perhaps I should hedgespin you something nicer, so you can know just what you're missing out on.

Sharky,

It is more complicated than that, but in essence; yes, that is what I mean.

Sharky,

It cannot be used to conjure conscious beings so there will be no mice, singing, fat, or otherwise.

Although if you'd like to be Cinderella, I could just as easily make you a lovely gown and a pair of glass slippers. All of which will of course disappear at the stroke of midnight.
Whether that's by magic or a far more physical process is entirely up to you.

Sharky,

I'm perfectly capable of exercising restraint when I want to, and think it would be far more enjoyable to make you squirm until midnight.

We can see just how long it takes for either you or Oswald to crack.

Sharky,

I wouldn't be so sure of that.

Giles

P.S. I believe Oswald is about to attempt to defend his honour.

Sharky,

It's a habit Oswald picked up from a misunderstanding of how mobile telephones worked, and now he's been told it's endearing too many times to ever stop.

Don't you worry, we've done plenty of resolving.
But everyone must take a moment to breathe eventually.

Sharky,

That's how we wrote telegrams when they were still commonplace. The practice started during the war, I believe, as a full word is far less likely to be lost in the conversion from radio code to writing than a single mark.


Certainly more than that, but I stopped counting quite some time ago.
