Heather Jackman: Hello? What can I do for you Primrose?
Primrose Thassalo: Hey! How’s it going? Just thought I’d give you a call to arrange our pool hall and motor biking evening of awesome. How are you?”
Heather Jackman: Alright, no problem. Yeah, I’m down in Manchester. Trying to see where that missing guy is that Kane mentioned in the newsletter. How you doin’?
Primrose Thassalo: Oh cool! Any leads?
Yeah I’m good, just trying to pack for all my trips abroad, it’s a bloody nightmare running around this place trying to remember who borrowed what from you! No idea where my travel bag is.
Heather Jackman: Off to Egypt again?
Primrose Thassalo: “Yup, looking forward to it,” She says cheerily, “should be a good one. So! Motor biking and pool yeah? Maybe get it in before I head off? When you back from Manchester? That’s if you’re not coming to see Tius again.”
There is a pause from Jack, “I expect to be down here for maybe 2 weeks. Hopefully not longer. McGregor and Victor have got Glasgow covered.”
Primrose Thassalo: Cool, hopefully you’ll find him sooner than that, but yeah, Glasgow’s in good hands in your absence. They’re good lads.
Heather Jackman: Plan is pool then motorbike. The place is the Trick Shot Pool Hall and it’s on the South Side.
I can send my guy to pick you up if you don’t want to get a taxi.
Primrose Thassalo: Nice! I’ll be there. It’s cool, I’ll make my way there, getting good at negotiating the streets myself, and got to practice my parking.
It’ll be good to catch up, sorry I missed you when you were visiting again. Next time you’re round you need to stop by and meet Ptolemy.”
Heather Jackman: Who is Ptolemy? Not the librarian you mentioned before?
Primrose Thassalo: “My snake!” She says cheerfully, “He’s a king cobra and I love him but he’s grumpy as hell and hates me. No Sam’s the librarian, although you should meet her too. Next time you stop by, after you’ve seen Tius you should come by! I’ll introduce you.”
Heather Jackman: Your snake hates you? Why do you have a snake that hates you? And won’t it hate me, too?
Primrose Thassalo: Yeah, I’ve tried feeding it my blood but it’s not keen. I’ll win it over eventually. Maybe not, maybe it’ll like you, I guess we’ll see.
Heather Jackman: Can you work the.. uh.. door on your place? No reason i can’t come just to visit you, right?
Primrose Thassalo: Erm…good question, how do you normally get in?
Heather Jackman: There is more than one way? Second thoughts don’t answer that. Last time I drove up to Cambusnethan House and then he swooshed me through.
Primrose Thassalo: Oh cool, then yeah, can probably do that the same way. I’ll ask him to see if that’s okay though, don’t want me crossing any lines, done enough of that already. How did you like being swooshed through?
Heather Jackman: uh eh, colourful?
Primrose laughs, “it sure is isn’t it! I love it so much. I never thought I would, but I do.”
Jack waits to see if Primrose says anything else.
Primrose Thassalo: It’s made life so much easier that I’m not sure what I’d do without it now, or how we managed beforehand, so when do you leave for Manchester?
Heather Jackman: I’m here already!
Primrose Thassalo: Oh yeah! You said that! Sorry, scatterbrained because of packing. So do you want to tie in another trip to the academy after pool and biking if Tius says it’s okay?
Heather Jackman: Sure!
Primrose Thassalo: Nice! It’s going to be good fun! Cool, we’ll I’ll stop holding you back, look forward to seeing you soon!
Jack pauses, “Yep, nice chat. See you soon!”
At the pause Primrose Says, “Unless you’re bored and want to keep chatting. I can talk shit for hours if you need me too.”
With a sigh Jack responds, “As much as this is a welcome diversion, I need to get back to this.”
“As long as it’s welcome and not a bother,” she says laughing a little, “alright, I’ll let you go. But if you find yourself in need of a diversion again don’t hesitate to call.”
Heather Jackman: Alright, cheers. See you later.
Jack hangs up.
