voice-testing forever.

Those who live by the sword, die by the sword. You know who said that? Jesus Christ of Nazareth himself. Who am I to deny such words of sound wisdom? Fighting with a sword, really not my style. Fighting, period, actually.

At least you're not making me carry a sword of my own. Peter's got that covered. Not to mention, I've got plenty of other things to do than run around and cut off heads. Looking for Kate, for one thing. Keeping Moz out of trouble for another. Watching Peter's back while he watches mine... See? I'm a busy guy. No time for Games.

(Tessanne is teasing.)

Don't forget all the time it takes to maintain that hair.

Oh, no, you're right. That's almost two hours in and of itself every morning.

I share my apartment with a former Marine and he takes like an hour to get out of the bathroom. It's pretty hilarious.

[personal profile] princeoftheuniverse 2013-12-07 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
Really. A former Marine, huh? Is it safe for us to be guessing what takes him so long in the bathroom?
tessanne: (tess is all smiles)

[personal profile] tessanne 2013-12-07 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
He's a little bit vain.

(Impish smile.)

I, on the other hand, pride myself on my efficiency.

I bet you could fit a lot into your day. What kind of stuff do you do to fill the time?
tessanne: (tess and her camera)

[personal profile] tessanne 2013-12-07 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
A lot of things. I play tennis, do some rock climbing at my gym, try to read now and then.

Well-rounded. Certainly living up to first impressions, at least.
tessanne: (tess and her sunglasses)

[personal profile] tessanne 2013-12-07 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I do try.

(She smiles.)

Tessanne Garrett. I work for Lockhart/Gardner.

Tessanne. Unusual name for a matching woman. [ He hesitates, a blink and you miss it moment. ] You're a lawyer?
tessanne: (tess is reading up on this)

[personal profile] tessanne 2013-12-07 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I wish. No, I'm Will Gardner's assistant.

I don't think anybody actually wants you to carry a sword and fight with it, Neal.

[Peter sure doesn't because that'd just make things more difficult for him in general.]
princeoftheuniverse: (pic#7113802)

[personal profile] princeoftheuniverse 2013-12-07 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, tell that to the other guys. [ Beat. ] Wait, you're right. They don't want me to carry a sword either. Sounds like it's settled, then!
femalebodyinspector: (pic#7113902)

[personal profile] femalebodyinspector 2013-12-07 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
Neal. [He just sighs.] Just for once, can you take this seriously?
princeoftheuniverse: (pic#7109195)

[personal profile] princeoftheuniverse 2013-12-07 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
Why?

No, really, why? If you don't want me to carry a sword, there's not much else I can do. I doubt the FBI wants me running around with an unlicensed weapon, either. Relax, Peter, we've both made it this far with our own skills. Nothing is going to change that just because we're using them together now.

Fighting with a sword is most noble, sahib. [Jeannie is all for guys fighting with swords, but then again, she was born in Pompeii circa 61 A.D.] Especially when fighting for your woman.

Sahib. Now there's a word you don't hear every day.

I doubt Kate would find it quite as charming as you do, Miss...?
genie_lady: (hello there)

[personal profile] genie_lady 2013-12-08 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
My master calls me Jeannie.

[She bows at the waist, her hands together as a formal greeting. But it is plain to see there is a spark of mischief in her eyes. Careful about trusting a genie....]

If you were defending her honor, surely she would approve.

Jesus of Nazareth was a complicated man.

Though I assume he wasn't specifically advising death by sword.
princeoftheuniverse: (pic#7113806)

[personal profile] princeoftheuniverse 2013-12-08 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
He was saying not to take measures if they weren't willing to live with the consequences. In this instance, he was advising his disciples from getting into a fight with the men come to arrest him.

I always took it as "don't poke anything you're not prepared to have bite you on the ass."

Potato, potahto. It's the same thing when you boil it all down.

[personal profile] sociospatial 2013-12-08 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
I consider it perfectly sound advice. Which I disregard at nearly every opportunity. I'd prefer to live an interesting life. If it means I die in an interesting way... well, I don't think Jesus would disagree with the result.

Don't tell me you've never wanted to wield a - metaphorical - sword.
princeoftheuniverse: (pic#7109194)

[personal profile] princeoftheuniverse 2013-12-08 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
Not really. The pen is mightier, after all.

Only if what's written is seen.

Its power, like the sword, is in what people make of it.
