The knock on Colin's door is loud and ominous.

- that doesn't matter much, however, as Mary marches in immediately after knocking and folds her hands neatly over her lap.

"Good morning, Colin."

He is staring at the ceiling.

It is one of his oldest hobbies.

"Good morning, Mary."

"Is it very important?" he asks, a little lazily, but does turn his gaze to her.

"Well? What is it?" He pulls himself up into a sitting position, or a more-upright position, anyway.

Now he really sits up.

"Why are you going back to India? And why do you need funeral rites."

"--What," he asks patiently back, "is a pisacha?"

"--Are you certain?" he asks, a little dubiously. "It is not just natives, but everyone in India?"

"Oh."

He considers.

"--Would my mother be one?"

"I might not," he says carefully, in what may be the understatement of the fandom, "as I do not go out much."

It might not come to his room.

"I suppose." He considers her. "Are you going to India to say them?"

"Then you must tell me what I need to pack for India," he says briskly.

"I am going." Very flatly.

He just is.

"I shall have Martha pack all that," he says seriously.

"She would not if I told her not to."
