Had the circumstances been slightly different, Ford might have been amused at this turn of events. On the one hand, the woman's attention was turned elsewhere, and from the outside perspective watching her carry on was so ridiculous it was actually almost humorous, and the expression on the young Constable's face was as good as the expression on a slapstick comedy actor. On the other hand, he couldn't enjoy things too much when she kept littering her story with barbs directed at the nearby ghost, and a few 'facts' that Ford was convinced were patently false. It was hard to enjoy himself too much when spirits were being slandered with impunity.
He was quite content to wait her out until he was addressed again, though — he'd already tried and failed to interrupt her on several occasions, when they'd be inside the house. When the Constable did turn his attention to him, Ford raised an eyebrow in response, with an expression that seemed to say excuse me? This bloke thought Ford was just hanging around with this woman for the fun of it? Of course he had business here — if he hadn't, he'd be long gone by now.
"Ford Greengrass, Spirit Division," Ford said, with a slight jerk of his head in the direction of the nearby ghost. "She called me, actually, so it's her business, not mine."
