[at the top of the list of information Rincewind doesn't feel comfortable sharing is this. Right here. So he'll - offer a piece. The important piece, even. Just not the whole pie.]
I - I can remove his marks. The ones I mentioned he puts on people.
So you have a power that allows you to remove unwanted marks? That seems highly specific. Unless it is meant to erase deformities and blemishes as well.
[ If this was video, Rincewind would see the totally skeptical face Petyr is making right now. But it's not, so he'll simply hear it in his voice. ]
I do not believe that. You have a greater use to him. Whether it's a connection to someone else he's after or using you as a pawn in his future plans. Who's mark did you remove?
There's always a way out of these things, Rincewind. I would think you would know all the clever means of escaping that which you do not desire to do.
[ It's been too long in the conversation without throwing an insult at him. And Petyr missed the chance to call his power pathetic, so he'd just call out Rincewind's cowardice to make up for it. ]
Then this occurred during the kidnapping. When the imPorts were abducted by the Russians?
I could inquire with him, yes. It may be a path worth pursuing. Perhaps he could give me more information about Lucifer considering he has been marked by the man. A better understanding of his magic.

[although great now he'll probably have nightmares about that too.]
And I'm not a toy either, it's -
...I can do something he wants to keep. Managed. More or less. That's all.

[ Unfortunately for Rincewind, Petyr feels he needs to understand this process if they are going to find a suitable replacement. ]

[whatever, lying is always a valid option.]
Anyway, so that's mostly it, I think, just making sure I can't muck about further with his magic.

A foolish decision to be so brazenly at odds with a man of such power. Do you know what began this feud?

Something about them fighting on one of those - gods, what are they called? - underwater boats this world has.

You'd think so, but somehow my terrible luck always finds a way. I'd have to admire it if it weren't so damn inconvenient for my health.
I wasn't here, but from what I understand. I'm sure you'll ask the man himself.
