Frank ducks, but Aiden swoops right over him to curl protectively around Jodie. Frank straightens back up, studying the field thoughtfully.
"Is the booze all right, darling?" he calls over his shoulder. "Hmm." He taps his finger experimentally against the shimmering wall, and chuckles as it ripples pleasantly. "I say, Sadie, darling, I think we've got it all wrong! It looks to me like this ghost is trying to protect its lady companion! From the likes of us! Hah!" He turns to Johnny, shaking his head. "We must have given you a right scare!"

"Jesus. Okay, shut up for a second." Johnny rubs his hand across his face. "It's not a ghost. It's... we don't know what it is. That's not important. His name is Aiden and yes, he is protecting us. Well, Jodie. That's Jodie. I'm Johnny." He's not inclined to offer his hand for a shake, though at least he seems to have the socialites' full attention now.
"Aiden was in the t-rex when you shot it. Which..." Actually, he can't say he's sorry to have the t-rex gone, now that he stops to think about it. "Uh, yeah, good... good job on that one. Except for the... shooting it with Aiden inside... thing."
He shoots a look at Jodie, as if to say anything else to add? Although Aiden is still covering her with his bubble, he seems to be shaking his head nonetheless.
Whatever, Aiden. Johnny makes a mental note to tell Jodie that it's fuck's sake, not multiple sakes. Right? That seems to make a lot more sense. But this is not that moment.
