"John, obviously," as if the question was one of the most boring he'd heard that day. He turned to the chair, lips parting as if he was about to say something, and then snapping shut when he realized it was empty.

The words above his head intrigued him more--he glanced down at himself briefly to note he had in fact spilled spaghetti sauce on himself and had lost an estimated three pounds off an already painfully slim frame (but whatever, it's not like that really mattered).

"Ah. Yes, I'm aware." He makes a bit of a face, snapping the violin case closed. "There's a reason I've been forced not to take many direct cases in the last few weeks."
Violin secured, he threw himself down on his arm chair, crossing his leg and pressing a finger to his lip, looking up at Ghost. "My attempts to control the situation are resulting in progress, but much too slowly."
