@beyonce

You've reached Dr. Stephen Strange. Leave a message and my secretary will get back to you.

Extraordinary people, the whole bunch.

[A theory that's come up before.]

I can kind of, uh. Guess. Based on what you told me, based on what I know about, you know. Psychopathy. You know you're doing really well, right?

[ Gabriel wouldn't be Gabriel if he didn't try to single out the 'special' people from the general populace.

He sounds oddly shy when he replies. ]

You think so? ...thanks. I don't know if its sinking in as much as I give the impression- I'm still so used to faking it 'til I make it, you know? But I'm trying.

[thewarningafter]

I know.

[Yeah, he knows better than to trust what he sees on the surface...even if he sometimes forgets.]

You're trying, though. I know that's true.

That's- ...I've heard it from Al, but it's nice hearing it from another source, you know?

[ Gabriel sounds slightly flustered- he's honestly not sure how to handle people believing in him, still. Al has gotten him to be a little less suspicious of it, at least. ]

I'm going to go ahead and call Peter back, make sure he's still en route. You guys interrupt whenever, and I'll make sure he takes the call.

[Stephen grins to himself, unseen.]

Yeah, alright. Tell him he's an idiot for me, will you? And that we're glad he's back.

[termineur]

[ That gets a snort of laughter from Gabriel. ]

Will do. Thanks for giving me the excuse- he's kinda tough to wrangle.

[ And Gabriel's trying to be patient because he knows it's (mostly) a death loss. ]

Talk to you later, Stephen. Stay warm and all that.

[thewarningafter]

You, too. And keep us updated.
