The room was kept dark. Stinging smoke, almost dead fire.

"Sit down." Rabastan sucked on his pipe.

"I'm excited." Barty sat down, just on the edge of the luxurious armchair.

"The day is not here, yet. I'm sure you will…satisfy him soon enough." Rabastan stared at Barty through grey smoke. "You seem to be almost… aroused."

At first Barty glowered at the older man, but then he said: "Are you jealous, Rabastan?"

Tingle, pounding.

"Should I be?"

Barty scowled. "As if there's anything to be jealous about…"

"Maybe this is unwise to talk about." He sighed. "Always him…"

Hands touching.
