[Garnet is clearly trying to maintain her calm, but she has the excitement vibe that is clear of any person who really wants to talk about a new geeky thing.]

I finished Hamlet.

[As for the rest, will get a video of a young woman in what appears to be her room....a room that has a fair amount of books in it now]

Hello. My name is Dagger and I was wondering if anyone could give me any recommendations of books or plays to read. Even with my duties of training and the cafe, I keep finding myself with a lot of time on my hands. So I'd really like to know new stories to read.

My favorite genre is plays and dramas, such as Lord Avon's work- or William Shakespeare, who seems to be an Earth playwright with a similar style. Though I'd be open to other genres as well.

Thanks!

[ He can sense the boy's amusement, and ordinarily that alone would annoy him... but he's close, too close... ]

While I am - strictly speaking - not on your side, I'm not your enemy, either. We want the same thing.

[ His voice drops, into a sweet drawl: ]

Won't you - be my friend?

[ The suggestion is amusing still, but regardless Leo makes a disgusted noise. ]

You're as creepy as Vincent.

Not to mention you're a threat to the Baskervilles, Mr. Hatter. I doubt we want the same thing.

[ He'll get his revenge for that comment - later. A hint of an eye twitch, and then he's all (creepy) smiles again. ]

Of course I'm a threat. ♥

But that doesn't mean we can't all get along. Don't jump to conclusions. You don't even know what it is that I want.

[ Yeah no, exactly like Vincent. He can't help but sneer at that smile. ]

And do you know what I want? You don't even know the truth and yet you claim to want the same thing.

I've got a fair idea, on both points.

[ Oz, his "acting" left eye, has been most industrious and forthcoming. ]

But why don't you tell me what it is you desire?

[flecks]

I'm sure you do.

[ Except his tone is dubious and he doesn't bother masking it. ]

And why should I? Frankly, it's none of your business.

You became my business when you first arrived and lost control. You nearly hurt Oz. Elliot might have died again, had he been there.

[ Silkily: ]

I will give you some advice, Leo. For free. If you stay closed off and take everything onto yourself, you risk hurting the people who are most precious to you.

[ Okay no, that rubs him entirely the wrong way. His anger is only barely suppressed and that's obvious in the slight tremble of his voice. ]

I'm keeping this to myself to protect a certain mutual acquaintance, not because I want to. Drop it.

[ His mind ticks quickly through the possibilities: who Leo might mean, and how precisely he might be "protecting" him.

Well, it's obvious. Oz and the "sin" of his existence. ]

You knew about Elliot, didn't you?

Withholding the truth to protect him--

How did that work out, hmmm?

[ Dammit Xerxes Break, don't go there. ]

Shut up! I'm not telling you anything, it's not your choice to make.

[ THE ANGRIEST DISCONNECT!!! ]
