Either way, he's not going to be persuaded otherwise just by a scowl like that! With an utterly insufferable sort of cheerfulness:] No, I do not! It's an affliction, truly unfortunate. The doctors have told me I'll never really recover from it, and so I just have to be inexplicable to the end of my days now!
[Oh, he's...he's turning? He's leaving???]
Incorrect, by the way! [Added over his shoulder, at least, as he gives Rita a polite wave of departure over it too.] But not a half bad guess. Keep at it; perhaps you might yet narrow it down eventually!
["Next time" is happening now, sorry, he's heading on out! (Rita ought to be glad to be spared having to resist rambling about aer and blastia this time around! It really was a near thing, you know. Doubtless it'll eventually come up in a future conversation, at the rate things have been going even just here...)]
