“Phil.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Your life may be in danger.”
“Why?”
“Scott has told me he will destroy you to get to the relics.”

“Don’t worry about his husband. He’s an old-fashioned mage with typical ordinary spells that you can easily deflect. Don’t tell me you’re getting cold feet?”
“No, sir, that’s not it at all.”
“Then?”
“Nothing, sir.”
“Make sure he gets hurt. I want to see that in my next report.”
“Yes, sir.”
