5: Hearing
Rath blinks once, twice, and tries to figure out what exactly Uhai's just handed him.
"…What is it?"
Uhai smiles, and Rath suddenly doesn't want to know. Anything that can cause Uhai to smile like that is automatically perverted and wrong and best not to be dealt with.
"A gag."
Rath frowns; he doesn't like where this is going. "…A gag."
"Yes, a gag. I have friends who work in the most interesting places, you know."
"And you're giving this to me, why?"
"For Wil."
Rath frowns again. "For Wil."
"Yes, for Wil."
They're going in circles and are both all too well aware of this. Uhai looks amused, and Rath just frowns harder.
After a moment, Rath speaks. "…Why?"
Uhai smiles once again, and Rath knows he's doomed. "Because some of us actually like being able to sleep at night, you know."
Uhai leaves, whistling to himself, and Rath can only blush and stare embarrassedly at the gag in hand.
