( 04 ) text ♧ go ask alice i think she'll know

[ solitude is an easy leap for a guy who likes to throw around dostoyevsky quotes like it ain't no thing, and men who go looking for secrets often find them. as such: have the very first non-video caffrey post, tranquility. fuck smiling, this shit ain't right. ]

This ship really is the most user friendly around, isn't it? And helpful.

Anyone who isn't used to computers, ask Tony Stark what I mean.

[ he'd say he's sorry, tony... but he isn't. ]

Normally I'd make an English lesson out of this one, but forget it. "Solitude" is the password you want, if you like feeling special, not to mention uncomfortably singled out.

I don't know about the rest of you, but this is a list I could stand not to be on-- and I don't feel particularly giving, especially not towards our smiling friend.

Any thoughts from the other esteemed honorees?

I need a word. And you two need better PR, so let's help each other out here.

I'm flattered, but I like to exchange names before I commit to anything. How about a quick sitdown? Strictly off the record.

NEAL AND ABERDEEN | 100% ENCRYPTION

You know me so well already.

[ in truth, it isn't quite showing off; neal's met plenty of people on-board who have yet to make it into his creepy stalker files. he draws what's interesting and what's beautiful, and aberdeen happens to straddle the line on both.

that, however, is a little too sentimental even for neal to advertise. ]

Thank you. I'd take a bow, but this is text.

[ She's tempted to say take a bow anyway because Aberdeen knows if she closes her eyes and concentrates hard enough to parse through the noise she'd be able to find him easily enough. Silence, as if the conversation is over, but eventually: ]

take one anyway.

[ it says a lot about neal-- and his opinion of aberdeen-- that he doesn't ask why, and simply does it. ]

Bow taken.

i know.

[ It's a dangerous admission (or could be, only it lacks context). Aberdeen circumvents that by adding an additional: ]

sentimentality.

[ Which is also true, given his simple indulgence of her. ]

Like always.

[ what he says aloud, though-- because who knows? maybe aberdeen can read his mind, or see what he's doing, or god kows what-- is a little different: "a secret told ceases to be a secret".

dickinson is always a good bet. ]

[ Smart man, Neal Caffrey. Smart and clever, two things that are sometimes mutually exclusive in people. It's why she likes him, truth be told.

After a long silence (since she hasn't forgotten why they're here): ]

SH makes a lot of noise.
be careful.

People keep saying that to me, lately. No idea why.

[ 'lately'. but there's a reluctant confirmation of her point, there. of both her points. ]
