Big Man snarls.
Watch your tongue, woman.
This can be a civil visit.
Big Man moves in close, towering over the old woman.
Or it can be an uncivil visit.
Your choice, Hag.
The old woman draws her head back at the derogatory term aimed at her.
The playful look and vibe she'd been projecting drops away, and the temperature in the underground space drops with it.
Literally.
Skinny Pip moves up next to Big Man, his breath coming out in plumes of steam.
His hand goes to his partner's arm, but his eyes remain on the old woman.
The air warms again as the old woman turns and walks into her subterranean flat, weaving a hand over her shoulder as she goes.
I was about to make tea.
Would you two stooges care for a cup?
Big man snarls again, and skinny Pip squeezes the man's arm as hard as he can.
It barely makes a dent in the large man's muscles, but it does force him to turn his attention to his partner.
What'd Mr. Dorchester say?
Skinny Pip asks.
Don't make the hag mad, Big Man replies.
Exactly.
