"The cure for boredom is curiosity.
There is no cure for curiosity."

[ neal's not quite back to his fighting weight, but he looks a whole lot better (and a whole lot less crazy, natch) than his last network outing.

he's also fussing with the cuffs on his devore, because you never go to battle without your best armor, right?

metaphorical, of course. ]

Wise words from a wise lady. [ and now with a slowy flip, he sets a fedora on his head and gives the camera a smile that's lovely lovely lovely and just a bit barbed. ] Résumé seemed apt, too, but a little dark given the occasion.

So, how was the month off, Tranquility? --and welcome to the new additions, of course. Watch out for Kardashians.

[ neal stop telling the ren faire kardashians are a horrible demon from your world, son, it's not as funny as you think.

also: one more hat flip because he can and we're out, tq. welcome back to the airwaves. ]

Hit things that look important with something heavy until it's hotter, obviously.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

You're likely to break something that way, Mr. Caffrey. And if things break, as we experienced, it will get colder rather than the opposite.

[voice]

[became]

And won't that be unfortunate? What happens when you stop reminding me I should invest in safety gear for everyday tasks.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

Then everything collapses and we all die, I suppose.

[In spite of the grimness of that statement, he actually does sound a little bit cheered up. You go Neal.]

[voice]

[became]

And all because I'm reckless.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

Not to give you an inflated sense of self-importance - yes.

[voice]

[became]

Which makes me-- the most important person here. Miles, I never knew you cared so much.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

Well, I'm a man of hidden emotional depths, naturally.

[Trying to make that sound sarcastic B(]

In any case. I just wanted to ensure you were all right.

[voice]

[became]

And we were doing so well.

[ a beat. ]

I'm fine, Edgeworth.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

[And he settles into a little bit more seriousness:]

Well, you seem...comparatively lucid.

[voice]

[became]

...well, at least you're more tactful than Petrelli.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

[He likes Nathan, but - ]

Catullus was more tactful than Petrelli generally is. Catullus, speaking to Furius and Aurelius. [And then a brief moment of uncertain nervousness as he realizes Caffrey might get that reference, and so, quickly - ] I didn't mean to offend, if I did.

[voice]

[became]

...I think I might actually be impressed.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

[...Oh dear.]

That I am capable of apologies, naturally. Yes. A common point of disbelief.

[voice]

[became]

--that you... you know, you make being complimentary very hard.

I meant that someone as proper as you knows that reference. Not exactly Mary Had a Little Lamb, that one.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

[He clears his throat.]

Well, it's...a bit of a long story behind that one. Or - if not long, then most likely uninteresting to others.

[voice]

[became]

So tell it anyway, live a little.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

...Quite. Well. My mother had been studying that poem. She was studying Classics, and her area of research was that...charming poem. Hence knowing it.

[voice]

[became]

It sounds like she was the kind of woman worth knowing.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

Everyone who knew her said so.

[He realizes after he says that that...well, he just said too much about himself; he clears his throat at once.]

In any case.

[voice]

[became]

...what do you know? I hate to tell you this, Miles, but you have something in common with the village idiot.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

[Oh. There's a pause, and then he actually sounds a touch timid when he asks:]

Did she...pass away?

[voice]

[became]

Something like that.

[ it's complicated. ]

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

[He tries to make it a little bit better with a sad attempt at dryness, but it's clear enough that he's mostly just sort of sad.]

It seems like this is just a...ship of orphans. Maybe that's why we're brought here.

[voice]

[became]

Ship of orphans, ship of fools. Sounds like the start to a bad joke.
