Tony is looking at him, and Kevin isn't sure how to interpret that look. It could be you're not fucking thinking of keeping this, are you? or it could be rather you than me, mate.
Kevin sighs. Zishu is right - of course he doesn't want Xie to be bonded to anyone at all. Because he came into this looking at Zhao as the only witch he knew with a familar, that was what he thought it was.
"Okay," he says. "I'll talk to him. Thanks for telling me."
Meanwhile. While Kevin and Tony were conducting their medical check-up, Jimmy and Lisa had been tasked with grocery shopping - a task that has become more and more complicated as Kevin has dug in with his cookery experimentation and asked for more and more ingredients that couldn't just be picked up from Tesco Click N Collect. They'd hauled crates into the basement, and Jimmy had called out Xie's name experimentally, but with no answer.
"Probably got his headphones on," Lisa says as she hauls one box into the kitchen. "Unless you've got a telepathic link with him you'll never break his concentration."
