[She watched him as he looked down at his nametag. She was entertained by the thought of him forgetting his own name, and her smile became something softer. She really needed to do something about the soft spot she had for nerdy scientist types. At least this one? Didn't seem to have any beautiful anger issues on his sleeve. And maybe his antecedents didn't matter. If he didn't do the same type of work they did? Well, then she had nothing against him.]
A warning. How quaint. That doesn't work, at least not in my experience. Ugly things? Dangerous things? It doesn't matter if they're worth something, and I get the feeling this is worth a lot of somethings. [And Cat? She was admittedly very surprised when he started talking about a locket. Seriously? She kept any and all surprise off her face, and she watched as he went to rummage through his drawers. And Cat wasn't actually intending to be interested in what he was saying, but it turned out that she was. A heartbeat, and she was nowhere near the glass anymore. She was perched on his desk, close, and she'd gotten there without making even a hint of sound.] What good is a life with brain damage? [Curiously.] What were you going to show me?
