"I'm ready." Shrieky gives a slight nod, and sets off, at Wolfgang's side. It's good that he's not managed to offend Wolfgang (although really, Shrieky supposes that being told you're startlingly beautiful is actually a pretty poor insult, as far as insults go.) and now that the initial shock of the other man's appearance has worn off, he feels calmer again.

"I remembered a story. After we spoke, I mean. About a man who tried to murder the sun." He glances at Wolfgang, waiting for confirmation that he should tell his story.
