On taking up residence

[thecynic]

My dear mundane – and how fitting a title that is for one such as you! – I fear you may have overestimated yourself. Do you truly believe a woman such as yourself (and I will not deny you have courage, to invite me in) can truly fathom me? My darling brother has failed miserably, and inferior though his may be to mine, his intellect far exceeds yours.

You say you anticipate fruitful games following my arrival; so be it. We will play.

Sit ludos incipiunt.

[catnipped]

I don't think I'd like playing your games.

[thecynic]

That makes them no less amusing.

[catnipped]

[You're just getting a slightly uncertain look, Diogenes.]

I thought you might say something like that.

[thecynic]

What impressive oracular prowess for such a young child.

[squeak_squeaker]

Do you know how to tie my sandals? [Kronk liked smart people! They where useful for when you weren't very smart yourself.]

[thecynic]

Yes, I do.

However, I will not.

[squeak_squeaker]

REALLY?

...oh. Oh, okay. Because I keep tripping over my feet and Yzma's not around to tell me how to tie 'em and... and stuff. [Sad Kronk.]

[thecynic]

You might consider going barefoot.

[squeak_squeaker]

Woah... that's the best idea ever! [Kronk took them off.]

Do you want half of my spinach puff?

[thecynic]

No, thank you. I never eat spoiled food.

[squeak_squeaker]

[Kronk took the puff out of his pocket and observed it closely.]

I don't think I treat it any different from the other spinach puffs...

[a_bit_not_good]

[ Someone is observing you, Diogenes. ]

[thecynic]

[Someone is observing you back, Sherlock.]

Your question?

[a_bit_not_good]

What makes you think I have a question?

[thecynic]

Your sheer curiosity.

[a_bit_not_good]

I'm interested. That doesn't mean I have questions.

[thecynic]

Ah; so you're merely afraid to ask.

[a_bit_not_good]

[that earns a tight, near condescending smile] Do I look afraid?

[thecynic]

Appearances can be deceiving.

[a_bit_not_good]

You would know, wouldn't you?

[thecynic]

Would I?

[a_bit_not_good]

You're wearing contacts- colored contacts. The slight tan just below your hairline is consistent with the use of a wig and if I'm not mistaken, and I'm not, you're very slight inconsistency with vowels is evident of a concealed accent. [He considers for a moment, thinking] ... American South, perhaps? Regardless, it appears only one of us is attempting to deceive others. [He doesn't smile, he doesn't do anything but stare. Expectantly.]

[thecynic]

[How adorable, one with some basic police skills! Diogenes' face is just as blank as Sherlock's for a moment, then he smiles.] You are a clever one, aren't you? Those keen observational skills must serve you very well. A pity you're from the other side of the pond, the Bureau could use eyes like yours.
