             ” Rare, yes, perhaps. Not anything too
    big? I certainly hope so - I wouldn’t want to hear something
        I’d label as spoilers. The last time we met was d i f f e r e n t
        for both of us, but you’ve clearly changed, I give you that.
 Congratulations, by the way, you no longer look like you’re twelve. Alive,
          well, it would’ve been quite a turn for this conversation if you’d
            suddenly have revealed that you’re dead. That would’ve been
              exciting, though. And kicking, yes, with that accent you’re
                                 definitely going to do some kicking. “ 

“Yes dear,
       I’d hate t’ ruin the suspense for you.
               Just to clarify, what exactly… occurred last time we met?
      Just so I’m quite sure. I’d really hate to
                  alter that more than it already has been.”

     He looks grave,
                               likely understandably so
    . But then at her apparent approval,
                   some small whisper of a smile works at his features
                                             until it becomes something much brighter. 

“Glad you approve.
                           Finally.
                      But oh, people do think I look tired.
                             Did always love that,
    proving people wrong.”
