"Eliot, it's Jon. I...I don't suppose you've got that solution ready yet? My computer and phone and TV are all showing a yule log, and I finished my last book yesterday, so it's...difficult. I don't want to rush you if it's not...not ready, but I hoped it wouldn't hurt to check. Or even just talk. Or, um. Listen. But not a statement! Just...just somebody to talk to. A log on fire's not really much of a distraction. Or...
"Never mind, forget I asked. I'll just, um. I'll see you later, I suppose."
Eliot listened to the voicemail and grimaced. He wasn't ready to do the
spell yet. He had most of it put together, but he needed to find someone to
check his metamath who wouldn't threaten him with a literal mace first.
He just . . . wouldn't answer John's voicemail until he had a solution.
That seemed best. Yes.
