Valentine: Ash, are you busy?
Ash: ...No. I'm just looking... for something...

Ash: ? What's he doing here?
Valentine: I had this idea. See, Chris has this little sister who's really sick, and I know how good you are with fixing things...

Ravish: It's all right M'am, I know you're very busy and everything--
Valentine: What Chris means is that he'd be very grateful if you could take a look at her. Right?
Ravish: Um, yes?

Ash: I see. So this 'sister' of yours, what kind of sick is she?
Ravish: Uh, it's a genetic disorder of the um, blood. She's very weak and tires easily. She's very fragile and has to get transfusions regularly.
Ash: Sounds wonderfully vague.

Valentine: Ash!
Ash: Valentine, he's a man-whore. Can't you tell he's just trying to con you?
Valentine: He's just a.... 'man whore' so he can help his family. Give him a chance!
Ravish: Uh, it's OK, really... don't fight...

Ash: I tell you what: You produce this sick sister, and I'll fix her. In exchange for, say, the payment we agreed on for that job you're doing for me.

Ravish: Really? Oh thank you Ms. Ash! I'll have her on the next plane here!
Valentine: See? Was that so hard?
Meanwhile:
Eric: I wonder where Valentine went...

Eric: She really should hide this thing better.

Himemiya: So what do you want now?
Eric: I don't want anything. I was just checking to see how you were after last night. That Magma's a creep.

Himemiya: A creep, huh? Unlike you, who's just ignored me.
Eric: I had to! Valentine and I both want to keep you safe from weirdos like Magma and Nightshade. And if Ash sees you around the house there's no telling what she might do!
Himemiya: You think I'm scared of that human?
Eric: No, but--

Himemiya: You're just ashamed of me. Just like you were before. You'd rather be with some stupid mortal girl.
Eric: That's not true! I don't mind that you're a jinn at all! If you weren't a jinn, you wouldn't have been able to help me all those times. I just said you were a sex bot because if someone like Nightshade got your lamp she'd just make you grant wishes all the time, and I know how much you hate that.

Himemiya: Well...
Eric: Please? Don't be mad. It's just Ash says--

Himemiya: Stop talking about that human!
Eric: But--!

Himemiya: I don't want to hear about her, ok?
Eric: ...what's wrong? Why don't you like Ash?

Himemiya: You just don't get it. Go away and leave me alone.
Eric: ...are you sure?
Himemiya: Away.

Eric: ...all right. I'm sorry for whatever I did that made you mad, Himemiya. I didn't mean it.
Himemiya: Hmph.


Himemiya: ...
