I am here to find out how you feel about sharing your room.
[ Hypothetical — he keeps them in the office. Isaac's keys are to hand, but he lingers a pace back from the door, eyes on Nicola. It isn't subtle: Who the fuck are yous seldom are. ]

Great Aunt —
[ She isn't the first one he would have guessed anyone would have heard of, he doesn't say, but his examination of Isaac's face is appraising. ]
