"Just don't let HER hear you say that. She'll take it personal." A wave, and he heads back to tell Willy to please show up for lunch at noon!

"I'm uninterested!" Julius calls back, good naturedly. "But, I'm also waiting."

"Waiting!??!?!" definitely stressed "For what?!?!"

"To talk to you, after you have your clothes on." Julius replies patiently.

Grumbling, and something that sounds like cursing. The chimney belches a few sparks. Finally the sliding door unbolts (several bolts; top, middle, and bottom) and it cracks enough for a slice of Willy to peer out. "Yeah?"

"Can you meet at the Manor at noon? I spoke with Journeyman Wudlig already."

"Noon?!?!! Yeah. Yeah, fine. Ok. Noon."

"Gotta go."

Julius nods, "See you there." He walks off, muttering, "Note to self... get decaf coffee for Willy next time..."
