Coherence is thoroughly overrated, my good sir. Far better to put a smile on your face and charge unwittingly into the hands of the future! A bold new tomorrow, endless and eternal!
[There is a sound of someone fumbling with something, a loud crashing noise, and a scream followed by several hard thuds. Silence settles for a few moments.]
...I... fell down some stairs. Maybe charging ahead unknowingly isn't such a good plan, you can't see where you're going.
Well, that certainly depends, doesn't it? I mean, if I landed funny and hurt myself that'd certainly be a different matter. Have you ever done something like that, gotten hurt in a stupid way?
[There's the sound of someone brushing themselves off and more walking followed by a brief chuckle.]
Or are you among the many who consider themselves beyond such things?
I suppose there may have been an occasion on which I fell off a second floor balcony trying to reach a garland of peppermints and bonbons that someone had strung up in a tree.
But I assure you, I was only defending the dignity of the candies. It's cruel to banish them to the trees and no gentleman should abide by such tyranny.
[The chuckling returns once more for a short time, the sound of someone who had just found something both amusing and deeply satisfying]
If you hadn't admitted to at least that much then I'd have had to think of you as one of those snide, uppity people who think they're perfect when really they're just mean. And I agree with you about the candies, sugar shouldn't be wasted, only savored. I think I like you already, Mr... uh... You never told me your name.
But hell if he's giving Kyran his room number. He'd probably wake him up at some ungodly hour thinking the world was ending when he discovered the shadowy figures or something similarly awful.]

[Not for too long, though. Cue patronizing tone.]
Well well, it's good to see that dispensing with coherence has freed up all your energy for enthusiasm!

I would think not. On the other hand, at least a knock to the head can't make your situation any worse!

Hungary is out and about again? Hmm.
Gladly. Where can I find you?

Yes. I'll be waiting in the commons.
