You were having a crisis. A crisis is a perfectly acceptable reason to awaken me.
[ That's a Chilton-ish thing to say, right? ]
How have things been going with your situation?
[ What situation? Damned if Baelish knows. But he's hoping to get Rincewind to elaborate on some secret conversation he's been having with Chilton. The more he can work this, the better! ]
[it could be any number of things - there always seems to be a "situation" in his unfortunate life. He doesn't want to hang himself with extra rope if he doesn't have to.]
Because things are fine. I haven't even fought with that terrible Hemali woman yet.
[ Because he can't resist riling up a drunk Rincewind a little bit. ]
So no one has attempted to bite your fingers off yet? Good. I'm glad to hear it's all going so well.
[ Does drunk Rincewind panic or laugh at the comment like it's a joke? It's actually a bit interesting exploring Rincewind's responses under the guise of being a 'friend.' ]
Har har. No. I suppose they're saving the biting for when they're in-patients. [he's still just as mouthy, apparently, and somewhat less anxious.]
Although maybe then I couldn't stumble into as much trouble. Harder to unlock doors and remove magical what-nots from people without fingers. Also harder to eat a sandwich though, there's the downside.
[ Whoa. Whoa. Remove doors and remove magical what-nots from people? It all clicks now. That is what he did to Miles. It's too little too late for any of it to matter. But having this knowledge in his arsenal is good for any number of unforeseen incidents. ]
At least you can look on the bright side of a finger less existence. That's a step in the right direction. But I have to wonder, how many houses have you accidentally broken into this week alone?
It counts more because there's security footage, Rincewind! We don't want to risk your ability going public. Which shoe store was it? I should be able to do something about this.
Of course I can. All it will take is a little positive persuasion, and then you will have nothing to worry about. Well, not this. I'm sure you'll be worrying about plenty of other things in the meantime.

Do you mean with working at the hospital?

Three. I think.
One was a women's shoe store so it doesn't count.
