Chapter 21
"What do you want to know? I'm not promising I'll answer."
"Who is he? How old is he? Where did he come from? Why do you have him? Why haven't you gotten rid of him yet?"
"His name's Vince. He's four. He came from Dennis. I have him because Dennis gave him to me. I haven't gotten rid of him because I'm keeping him."
"You're keeping him?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Because I am."
"Can I talk to him, rather than you?"
"Why?"
"Because it's impolite to talk about people, but not to them."
"Nice try. Why do you really want to talk to him?"
"Dennis told me to. You'll get visits from the rest of the shamen soon enough. I'm just the first. Now, can I talk to him?" Naboo turns to Vince.
"Are you ok with talking to him?" He asks. Vince nods. "Are you sure, Vince?" Vince nods again. "If anything happens, or he does anything to you, you tell me. If you want him to go away, or you want to stop talking to him, just shout. You don't have to tell him anything if you don't want to, okay?" Another nod. Naboo turns away from Vince and looks at the man.
"You've got five minutes. If you do anything to him, anything at all, I will kill you in the most horrifyingly painful way possible. Understand?"
