[If anyone's paying attention to the room behind Strange, they might notice that it's dusty, poorly lit, with a spell caster's circle and a dead pigeon in the center of it. The Doctor himself seems... Tired. And slightly annoyed. Might have something to do with the dead pigeon. Or just... Pigeons. Pigeons.]Two things of note

But do you do ten dollar palm readings?

Were you involved with this somehow? It feels like your magic.

[fishnets]

That's all right.

Thank you. And, uh, sorry about John.

[encrypted;]

[hoaryhosts]

I take it he's a friend of yours?

[encrypted;]

[fishnets]

It's complicated.

[encrypted;]

[hoaryhosts]

Everything nowadays seems to be. But I won't push.

[encrypted;]

[fishnets]

We were involved more than a decade ago. Closer to two, actually.

You're making me wonder if I'm more disagreeable than I'd originally suspected.

[encrypted;]

[fishnets]

How do you mean?

[encrypted;]

[hoaryhosts]

You seem to favor disagreeable men. That's all.

[fishnets]

I've been told that I like to sabotage relationships before they even begin.

[encrypted;]

[hoaryhosts]

I wouldn't say that. I would say that you like strong personalities. But then, given your own, that shouldn't be surprising.

It's just an observation.

[encrypted;]

[fishnets]

There's some truth in it, though.

[encrypted;]

[hoaryhosts]

... I'm sorry. Again, I think I've said something I shouldn't have.

[encrypted;]

[fishnets]

No, no. We're friends, aren't we? You have the right to be frank with me.

[encrypted;]

[hoaryhosts]

We are friends and I suppose we do have the right to be frank with each other. You also have the right to tell me if I say something that makes you uncomfortable or angry with me.

I've always been known for being detached and social graces do not come easily to me. To be perfectly honest, I definitely sabotage my relationships before that begin. It's not something I've ever really managed fix.

[fishnets]

That wasn't so hard, now, was it?
