"It's Caffrey. Remember the value of plausible deniability. I'll get back to you."

[A long, heavy pause. When he continues, it's softly.]

Yes, you must. You haven't told me anything about where you're from yet. I'm holding you to that.

[Another pause.]

I still believe there's always another way. If I thought I had a snowball's chance, if I didn't know I'd come back, I would have fought. Life's the only thing we're ever actually given without strings. The universe doesn't care what you do with it, it's just there, with the help of chaos theory and a little luck.

[A sharp exhale.]

Thanks.

Far more than a snowball's chance. Hallankind he might be, but he's been bested by a human before. My presence here is evidence of that.

Anything and anyone can be taken down if you have the drive to make it happen, Herr Caffrey.

[ There's no cruelty to his words but there's the very distinct feeling that he has lived that truth. ]

As for where I come from, I do have a few books that came with my rooms. I would not mind bringing them by for you, or even passing them to Herr Bright.

[A quiet not-really-laugh.] Sometimes, Herr Leickenbloom, when they're expecting you to fight, defiance is the more personally fulfilling option.

I'm... in Malcolm's cabin at the moment, actually. It's where he brought me to get revived. He wanted to be able to make sure I was recovering.

Given that I've watched you be murdered at this point, I think we might be able to go to Florian and Neal, unless you object. And I certainly can agree with your point.

Where is his cabin anyway? He's largely Johann's friend and thus, I've never visited.

Third floor, room seven. [Wait, should he have done that? Shit. It’s not like Florian couldn’t find out some other way.] …Do me a favor and don’t bring your shadow.
