The worst thing about summer, Colin reflected to himself, was that it was invariably too damn hot to cook. The flat was neat, he'd finished his writing goal for the day, and so he decided he deserved a reward.

"If you need the loo, s'right over through that door," he tells Percy once they've appeared.

It's a small studio apartment. There's a bit of furniture, but the indications- a bit of dust, a bit of staleness to the air- are that the place isn't used much.
"So what are we doing here then, Perce...?" asks Dunnett once the two are through apparating. "Meaning- what do you want of me?"
