That was interesting, to say the least. The part where my body wasn't really my own was pretty disconcerting at first, but other than that...

I wouldn't go so far as to call it 'fun', but it was a change of pace. Funny how the ordinary can be so unexpected here. Throw us into the middle of a warzone, set a dragon loose, hit us with an invasion, and I don't think a lot of people here would bat an eyelash. Put us in suburbia and tell us to blend in, go to work, pay the bills, and suddenly we don't know what to do.

By the way, Capa, I couldn't have asked for a better husband. [YES, ARTHUR CAN TEASE PEOPLE SOMETIMES.] And I'm sorry for subjecting you guys to family dinners.

[Pause. Moving on.]

In other news, in case you were wondering: Dionysus isn't on the Barge anymore.

[Private to Eames]
I don't know how you do it. Forging, slipping into someone else's skin. I have to admit, I've got a newfound appreciation for what you do.

[OOC: I KNOW I OWE BACKDATED PORT TAGS. The muse just sorta got away from me for a bit. I've had a case of writers' block something fierce.]

What will you do now?

[Read: OH GOD ARTHUR DON'T LEAVE]

Wait for my next assignment. I'm not leaving until the job's done and... I know you'll be alright.

Responsible as ever. It is perhaps selfish of me, but I am glad to know that you'll be staying.

[OH THANK GOD.]

You and Cobb taught me well. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon, Mal. This ship's gonna have to try a lot harder to get rid of me.

[MRS. COBB GETS HIS LOYALTY WHILE MR. COBB IS OUT.]

I hope your subsequent assignment is more successful.

[Mrs. Cobb is EXTREMELY GLAD OF THIS.]

Me too.

You didn't run into any problems at port, did you? Clapet was on his best behavior?

He was quite a gentleman, in fact. Much more so than one would have expected. He is a widower and had a daughter, so I suppose that accounts ...

The most difficult thing I had to do was lecture some first-year psychology students on operant conditioning. I believe the phrase is "got off easy".

[He laughs a little.] Yeah, I think that's the term for it. I'd take that over fumbling my way through several days' worth of counseling sessions.

I had undergraduates! I haven't had them in over ten years. I do not miss teaching, believe me, now more than ever.

I am sure that you acquitted yourself well. Surely the first thing you did was read every one of your case files twice.

[She sounds ... jokey. Cheerful. Arthur is welcome to be a little surprised by this.]

I don't know how you ever did it, personally.

Three times. [ARTHUR IS CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC.] You seem in high spirits today.
