Does she really. [Another beat, wherein he's contemplating whether it's ridiculous to say so, before he just goes ahead anyway.]
Give her my love, then. And tell her I miss her too. If all goes well though, I'll be seeing her again soon, though. And I'll have you to thank for that. In part, at least.
[ He laughs at that, a bright and cheerful sound all of a sudden, and rustles again as he moves to draw Lily closer. ]
Did you hear that, Lily? Come here, come here girl -- Faolan says he misses you. That's right, he does! Do you think he'll let you kiss him when he visits again? Do you? Maybe he'll bring you something back, mm? Then you'd be a very lucky girl, wouldn't you?
[ Pet owners and baby talking their animals. It's awful. ]
[Faolan lets out a breath, the quiet ghost of another laugh.]
I'll do my best.
[His best is about as good as he'll manage. He can only hope that it's enough. That Lancelot can pull him out before the shit hits the fan, as it were. Because he's really starting to believe that it's only going to be a matter of time, from here.]

[ Although privately he thinks he'd enjoy the look on Sylvia Redbright's face if he gave her Faolan's love. ]

It's not like I've been anywhere particularly exciting or exotic, but. I'll see what I can do. No more monkey's paws either. I promise.

[ Yes, forever! Forever! Lancelot laughs again and starts to gently prise Lily off finally. All right, he's saying softly, all right, that's enough.
He shifts, switching his phone to the other ear and smoothing Lily's fur with his other hand as she settles. ]
You don't have to. So long as we have you back in one piece I think we'd both be pleased.
