don't you dare, i hate this. i like... control. not feeling like my fingers are noodles.
artist. i wanted to be-- anyway. artist. keller? he's... he's what he is. we're in the middle of a chess game. we're always in the middle of that chess game, actually. i wasn't alone, but it's not the same thing.
i haven't even been drunk in years, cut me a break. i think i'm pretty impressive.
I know the feeling, better than anyone I think. The game never stops, but the pieces do and sometimes there are shifts in rules. I think my opinion would be different if I didn't have John.
No. No breaks. It's not my fault you weren't mentally prepared for this. Soldier on with your pasta fingers.

you know, i think you do. he mailed me chess moves, once. on postcards. moz thought it was weird, but we always did stuff like that. i didn't even think about it until he said something.
is too. don't mention food, my stomach can't take it.
i already have cheese. if you think that was a no, you're not listening closely enough. or i'm a lot higher than i think i am. or both.
we conned our way into a palace, once.
[ he should take the out. go to sleep. but if this is all he gets, he wants to tell some stories first-- and if it all works out, well. he'll blame the drugs and cross that bridge when they come to it. ]
What were you stealing? Also I think you owe the royal guard a cheque for trauma.
I don't know how to feel about the fact we've both been naked, in a palace and stolen something.
Does Keller have a habit of seeing you naked? Doesn't sound terrible. If circumstances allowed us more space, I'd happily chase you around. Maybe if we land on a planet, you can steal something.
( Ha, try. I'll hide it somewhere clever. Care to make that a wager, Caffrey? )
Can I get both? If one: Monetary.
I've yet to meet Peter, but you do speak of him in high regard. Not entirely certain if that's because he caught you (ego, etc.) or because of the fact that he's your friend.
anything you can hide, i can find better. i can find anything better than you.
st. george and the dragon. raphael. it's not exactly appraised yet, but the one sneaks out ahead. sentiment... the mcnally solitaire. only 2.5 million, but i stole it for a reason.
he's. he's just peter. he's the only person in my life i can trust completely.
there's a saying about keeping some mystery, but i think it passed you by.
[ HE'S FLATTERED THOUGH so. they can be maladjusted together. ]
i thought maybe someday. i was very, very young back then.
i don't-- sherlock. i'm not good at doing what peter thinks i should. he has this idea about the world. people get what they deserve, good and bad. grasping isn't his style. i only know how to grasp.
I like being versed in the things that interest me.
Really? How long were you two together? What happened?
Peter has a laid down rule of moral constructs. It's defined in being the better man, that much is clear. I sort of understand how often that fact - 'being the better man' can compromise getting things done. It's interesting how his disproval affects you.

So which came first, artist or criminal? You hate blue collar.
This is a bit surprising. Is he interesting?
Were you lonely?
See, I unlike you - have a long history of drug abuse

seeing me naked is hardly a traumatic experience, thank you kindly.

not lately.
sounds like fun, actually. peter hates it when i steal things.
he gives me this LOOK.
no subject
Walk me through. I'll tell you how I would have caught you.
To unconventional attire during thefts, then.
( I stole an ashtray. It's here in space. )
Alright.
Peter can't hate it as much as the people you're stealing from.
Most valuable thing you've stolen?
John has a look. I sympathise.
