"Definitely a genie, then," Alexis said. "But I'm assuming her real name isn't April Showers, which by the way is a horrible joke."
"I must say, Miss Swift, that your genie is very outspoken," Mr Brookman smiled. "Does she not fear punishment?"
"I like to give my staff some free will," Sophie said sternly.
"Quite. Well, if you must know, Alexis, the name April Showers was chosen by my grandfather, who found her lamp as a teenager," Mr Brookman explain. "He passed her down to my father, who passed him down to me when I was 3, upon his death. I'm adopted, you see. My father never settled down and found a wife, much like I haven't. Too much sex to be had, as I'm sure you understand. But since then, Apriya, as is her true name, has been everything to me; A mother, a wife, and, most importantly, a genie."
"Well that sounds great," Sophie said, somewhat sarcastically. "So what exactly do you want with me?"
"I'm getting to that, patience," Mr Brockman said. "For now, I'm curious how and when you acquired Alexis here. Regale us with your tale."
"Maybe I don't want to tell you. Maybe I still don't trust you."
"As right you shouldn't. After all, you barely know me."
"For now, I'm interested in why you were disappointed when I pulled out Alexis' lamp."
Mr Brockman smiled, and ate a biscuit.
"Please, help yourself," he said, and Alexis took a handful of them.
"Stop avoiding the question."
"Oh, I like a girl with spunk. Of course, I prefer when it's my spunk that I've shot into her pussy. Fine, I'll tell you. I'm a collector of lamps. Magic lamps, of course. Aside from Miss Showers', I have 3 of them locked away at home. I've not rubbed them, of course, since humans cannot have more than 1 genie each, but I enjoy having them. I used to have 4, but last week, one of them was stolen from me.
"Stolen?"
"Yes. I don't know how, either, since I specifically wished that only me, or a member of my family would be able to access it. I was hoping that your lamp was the one that was stolen from me."
"So you could steal it back?"
"Not at all. I merely wished to become acquainted with you. I may look young, but I often feel like the old man I am. I want some youthful companionship that I've not just wished for."
