[ BANS YOU. ]
... I wouldn't put this person before catching Crane if he wasn't important. [ A beat. ] Superman. He's my cousin.
He hasn't answered any of his messages all weekend. Something's wrong.

[The sudden abrupt change is caught, however short it might be, and he doesn't think it has anything to do with the food. Was the topic that unappreciated? He hates to dwell on it, but it's only a matter of fact. However awful it may be, reality can't be turned away from. Then all that's left are sad delusions.
His eyes remain steady as he speaks, only subtlety trying to press for more information with his gaze. The intensity shifts only slightly when Will looks to the television screen, and instead he folds his hands on the bar, going into a state of mind that he can only describe as "doctor" in the fullest. This is who he is when people need it of him and when he needs it of himself in the moment.]
Everyone automatically assumes more gifts are better, Will. It's less to do about what's appropriate and more to do with what seems natural. That everyone should want the most they can get out of life. [And maybe that's just the fault. Not everyone is willing to maximize their potential and life to the fullest. Not everyone wants it, for reasons beyond him. He pauses, mouth part open, and slowly smiles in a tease.] But if that's how you feel, I'll keep it in mind when the holidays come around.
[Yes he gets people Christmas gifts, he's not a total monster and he actually happens to enjoy the holiday.]

[...Was what he said an issue? It seemed like it for a moment, but then it was dialed back. He was only saying what makes the most sense to him. Although, one of the things he's learned in the last decade is that his opinions and brand of honesty aren't often appreciated. Maybe Will is just sensitive? He's not really prepared to ponder that yet, not when this is a second conversation.
So he lets it pass, taking a drink from his glass and makes a small shrug when Will asks if he expects to be here.]
I'm not a...natural optimist, nor pessimist for that matter. Would I like to be able to say that? Certainly, but I don't see any reason to make an empty statement when I have nothing to back it up.
[The road home is never an easy one he finds. It took over a decade to even start coming close to going back the first time and the second time...he doesn't want it to take as long, doesn't want a chunk of his life wasted (people say you don't remember being here, but who can say for sure?), but he likes to be realistic about these things. Researching the porter has brought up very little and his current job doesn't line up with the time to study like back in his world.]
I've heard some people stay here for only a month. Others have been here for years. There may be no real pattern to the whims of this strange device that whisks people to and from their worlds. I'd like to understand it, but I won't bet on it to bend to my will.
[At least, not the way it is now. One day, maybe, but not today and not any time in the near future.]

Crane is dangerous. He's not the Crane from my world, but he's infamous. He's smart, too.
[ Chances are he's still carrying enough gas on him to harm others. There's no way he would run off unarmed.
She pauses, considering Will's words. ]
You're right. I say it's about time we put aside our differences. [ But... ] I'm still sorry I wasn't able to get justice for Freddie Lounds.
[ It's not the best time, but she needs to say it. ]
For now. I'm still on the lookout for Superman. The fact he's gone missing right before Crane's attack doesn't bode well.

Each other. Or alone idk. You know one of them made a salad on my pillow? Got balsamic everywhere. Still not sure if it was a sign of affection or horse head symbolism.
I'm so glad to hear I'm not the next hit for the raccoon mafia.
Either way, drool is probably just slightly better. Maybe.

He can be your drool bed buddy. I'd prefer something a little more refined. Less drool. Like gunther.
You think sharkbait is much of a runner?

You need to teach them to shower themselves. And clean up their own poop.
Maybe he can come for a light jog. I don't wanna kill him.

You spoil them.
And such a thing is possible. You just haven't seen my power in action.

[Eye rolling at his phone, kthx.]
I've seen yours. Kind of.
We're still talking about powers, right?

I can't show you. Not unless you're prepared to boost my ego a whole lot.
[Which is actually ridiculously easy. It's a miracle he's not done it in the house yet.]
