[deep breath, and then trying to make the whiniest voice, but not too loudly that she figures out he's like, right outside on the street]
What the hell, this isn't faaaair! You took my cute little bumbling B and throw all these puzzles my way?? I'm stuck on number four and you know that's totes unlucky! I should get a freebie!
[internally like "kyaaaaaaaaa my son is strugglingggggggggggg!!"]
My son, my son, listen to me:
I.
Cannot.
Help you.
The fact that you made it to number four is quite impressive—this is the one time that I will praise you (at least in recent memory)—and the fact that you did not throw away the ransom note is quite surprising, too!
But this is your struggle, and you will suffer the consequences of failing your dear buzz buzz. Do you understand?
...oh, but if you want to give up or make this your attempt to pray to me for guidance, I will accept that, too.
Never! I'll never praise you! But. . .if you could just give me a sign that B is alive, I'll keep going, I won't give up til I pass out, exhausted and defeated and crying lots.
Just have him say something! In the phone! But like, loudly. So I know it isn't fake.
That could work. Could you turn her into something to buy a little time? Or maybe she'd just think you were an alleycat, since all sorts of things are running around now.
Mm, I can turn her into something. She can still use her abilities, so I could either just fly up and change her from outside the window or change her while I'm a beetle since she wouldn't be able to see me?
Swords as a shield and a bug bust! Yeah, yeah I think that can work. I'm not sure about the details of their powers, but as long as she doesn't know who you are, she can't laser target you for a nightmare. This should be easy.
Need anything else? I can shrink a loooot of things, and I've got practically every potion up my sleeve. Literally.
