If I go out in the rain, I'll melt
Won't you see for yourself? Not to mention, that was hardly very kind at all! No please, pretty or otherwise? Well, I suppose one can't be too choosy; what the prophet says, the prophet wants. You do remember asking for a following, do you not? Perhaps you did not write that one down...

I 100% did not ask for a following
I suppose I cannot say for certain, though... are not wishes made in jest the ones djinn are most known for following?

Are you calling yourself a djinn or just the result of an errant wish? I rubbed no lamps
Are you the type to believe in such things? No, no, I could hardly stomach being constrained to artifacts as gauche as lamps.

Where'd you crawl out of, friend?
Where'd any of us come from? Creeping, damp, dark crevasses, opening to the caverns below, all ooey and gooey with guano and offal. Some of us never left, not really. A wiggler at pusher, so says I! More interesting to me... friend?

Yeah, we can be friends. I'm just trying to wrap my head around your whole deal. Very puzzle-like to me.
Yeah, he says. So committal! Nevertheless, my deal? Our deal, it has been struck! Oh friend, friend, most wondrous friend! No take-backsies from a friendship. Once infected, one remains a carrier. Never again may we be known as strangers. Worst comes to worst, we are ex-friends, still so defined by our friendship. Such a powerful thing. Such wheelings and dealings with our own feelings... it is almost too much for me!

Yeah that really got you going there, bud. I'm hype too.
