[fivestepsahead]

I'm back.

[ Pause, then, dryly: ] And I'm starting to empathize with the general attitude towards the Admiral here.

private to Capa;

I need to ask you something.

private to Eddie;

Keep yourself out of trouble for the next two days. I mean it.

[ ooc; Alright people! Those who received gifts from Bruce should have found it under your door.

I hope you didn't get lost?

[Private]

Ah... do you... know how close Eddie is with my inmate?

private;

[fivestepsahead]

I didn't.

[ Pause. ]

That answer goes for both questions. What happened?

private;

[championoftime]

I believe they're... [disbelievingly] involved... Which is a good sign from my inmate, but potentially worrisome for Eddie.

Re: private;

[fivestepsahead]

.... What? [ Bliiiiiiiiiinks. ] That's-

What gave you the idea?

private;

[championoftime]

I knew that they were friends, but while Eddie was gone Jim gave me some particular responses that raised my suspicions.

private;

[fivestepsahead]

What kind of responses?

private;

[championoftime]

The conversation was public, actually.

private;

[fivestepsahead]

[ WENT TO READ IT. Back. ]

... It might be one sided.

private;

[championoftime]

It might. But at least he's feeling something. Eddie... did offer to assist me with information on Jim a while back.

private;

[fivestepsahead]

How dangerous is your inmate, generally?

private;

[championoftime]

Indirectly dangerous. But still dangerous. Let's just say they have shared tendencies in dealing with their problems, but Jim requires less provocation and defines problem as "object in his way".

private;

[fivestepsahead]

[ Pause. ]

So if Nygma doesn't feel the same, would there be force involved?

private;

[championoftime]

Coercion is more likely, I believe.

private;

[fivestepsahead]

Neither of which Nygma will react well to.

[ Pause, then, dryly: ]

I'm actually not his keeper.

private;

[championoftime]

Oh that much is obvious.

[Teasing.]

private;

[fivestepsahead]

Uh huh. [ Then- ]

If there's trouble I can help with regarding this, tell me and I'll do something.
