I&#39;ve seen your faces

From:

[He gives Crawford the usual slow, appraising, and flirtatious look-over that he gives everyone new he meets, then nods towards the house.]

Pleasure. And much as I enjoy the risk of being caught as much as anyone, shall we save the exhibitionism for another time? I don't think I want those Hazmat men staring at me anyway. Their lack of taste might be contagious.

From:

[Schuldig bites back a laugh, gaze flickering between Joshua and Crawford as he waits to see how Brad will react to this.] Probably not a bad idea, Crawford...unless your plans run counter to that?

From:

If that's where your list is.

From:

[He raises his eyebrows as he starts to head inside.]

List? Have you gotten your hands on something interesting, Schuldig?

From:

It's not as exciting as it sounds. [Schuldig flashes Joshua a grin.] Just brains that Crawford wants me to pick...

From:

Given the current excitement, I'd rather use the time assessing elimination strategies.

From:

Oh~? Actually, I'd like to see if you could get into our dear comrade's head. If he's broken out of his droning and has his mental barriers down, it could make it a lot easier for you to take a little peek inside.

[He glances at Crawford.]

So if Schuldig's the telepath and Nagi's the telekinetic, what does that make you? Not the religious fanatic, I hope.

From:

I suppose I could try, if he'd stay in one place long enough...though it'd probably end horribly for someone.

No, no; Crawford's our resident stick in the mud.

From:

Schuldig.

Now's not the time to be playing particularly far from the vest.

From:

[He makes an amused sound.]

You sound like my 'father' here. Where's the fun in a game without taking a little risk, hmm? Nobody ever wins big by playing it safe.

From:

[The snap reels Schuldig in, at least somewhat; he knows when he's pushed as far as it's wise to, with Crawford. They've had at least a decade to figure out each others' boundaries, after all.

However, he's not sure what in particular he's being reprimanded for here.] Was that for the remark, or did you not want Joshua to hear our plans...? He's already made himself useful, you know. We could make an ally out of him; I think I may have already.

[He stays out of the exchange between Joshua and Crawford, for the moment.]

From:

There are times and places for risk. This isn't the moment. It takes a mature sense of timing, perhaps.

I'd prefer good behavior today of all days.

From:

[Without his Scanning, he can't tell whether Crawford and Schuldig are having a private conversation or not, although he can hazard a guess. He ignores it, though - after all, there were certainly plenty of things he was keeping secret from them as well.]

And I can certainly see that you have a lot of experience, hee hee. Well, if you want to play it safe and leave the fun to the other players, that's fine with me. But there won't be many opportunities like this one - with the world being thrown into chaos, people are often too distracted by their own fear of change to notice what others are doing. It's the perfect time for taking a chance.

[That's a feeling Joshua will have to get used to; Schuldig keeps all the members of Schwarz telepathically connected, and is running dual conversations while they're around more often than not.]

As always, Brad...define 'good behavior'.

Generally he leaves the risk-taking to me. Though I'm sure that doesn't surprise you, does it? You and I were the ones who dared to go see Lucy, after all.
