[the night of this]

I think I need to change rooms.

[keenly]

...Um. Why?

[altusimperius]

Edgard's being a real bastard.

[Remember everyone: Benedict is the victim here. He is in the right.]

He won't get off my case.

[keenly]

About what?

[altusimperius]

Like, nothing. Stupid shit.

I was slow getting out of bed this morning and it was like someone struck a match in him, he went crazy. He kicked me.

[This is the whole story!! All of it!

It is worth noting as well that Benedict does not sound especially afraid, only indignant and perhaps a bit disgusted.]

[keenly]

[Colin is familiar with that tone, which is why Bene doesn't get the cooing, soothing tones from him that he's likely seeking.]

He made you get out of bed on time. Why? What was so important?

[altusimperius]

[A loaded pause. Then, with a bit more urgency,]

Colin, he kicked me!

[keenly]

Yeah, and I spanked you. Come on, what's the whole story?

[altusimperius]

Shut up, shut up--

[A pause in which he is no doubt looking around, making sure nobody is nearby to overhear.]

Nothing, never mind, goodnight.

[He ends the call quickly and sags back against the wall. Whew.]
