"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. ]

[ narrowing his eyes a bit at that-- because a reference-off is the best game-- neal flips his hat in his hands, thinking for a moment. ]

Well, you know what they say-- aspiring to be angels men rebel.

[A game Gold isn't actually all that interested in playing, especially if it's going to lead nowhere.]

And false wings can only take a man so high.

...buying or selling?

[ as in 'what part of the crime world do you play in most'; it's a hunch, and why not because neal's obediently going to dance to gold's tune now. ]

[gilding]

[Selling, Neal. Always selling. But even on a locked video, Gold isn't about to go telling anything quite like that. He's only been on this ship a month, and he has no idea if this man will even be of any use to him.]

Looking to make deals with devils?

[became]

No, that spot on my dance card's filled. No more Faustian bargains.

[ tossed off easily, like a joke. ] Just curious to see if Sark can stop complaining the civilized element is overwhelmed by our various heathens.

[gilding]

[No Faustian bargains yet. There was an awful lot of desperation already brewing on this ship. But Gold just smiles slightly, looks away from the camera again.]

I think you'll find that Mr. Sark and I have already met.

[became]

Now, that doesn't surprise me at all.

[gilding]

Yet his complaints haven't dwindled.

[Because Gold had heard smatterings of them in his conversation with Sark, too.]

He didn't mention you, either.

video ; locked

[became]

I'm not shocked on either count.

[ largely because sark is exactly the sort of man neal's familiar with, and sharing assets has never been a favorite activity; he won't pretend sark's interest is based in anything more than what neal can hand him. use for use. ]

[gilding]

Surprising that your pride doesn't protest it. Though I suppose it's telling enough that you haven't introduced yourself yet.

video ; locked

[became]

I know who Sark is, and he knows who I am. Cuts down on the bruised pride by at least... oh, half.

I feel I should point out neither did you.

video ; locked

[gilding]

[Only half. Gold smiles, looking back at the camera briefly. Manners, after all.]

Mr. Gold.

Neal.

[ and an odd little half bow that's all robb stark's fault goes here. ]
