Forgive my recent silence, my fellow denizens. Somehow, in spite of everything, I have been somewhat "under the weather." It's taking quite the toll on my Renate, honestly, for I haven't really the energy to run with her at present. I'm feeling much better now, however. It seems, furthermore, that my relative absence has meant I have not provided sufficient occupation for all of my charges.

To my Inmate, you and I must talk and soon. Do not keep me waiting.

To the Inmate called Sylar -- I have this to say to you, without pretense or exaggeration: If I see or hear that you have been associating with mine again, there is not a single Warden on this ship, past or present, that will be fast enough to prevent my retort. Whatever advantage you hope to gain in soliciting him will not be worth the pain I bring upon you. Am I making myself perfectly clear?

I don't need your protection against him. Leave me be.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

No, but I apparently require a shorter leash for you. Have I really been so lax in finding things for you to do, Iago?

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

I am not your pet to lead around.

Don't make assumptions. It doesn't suit you.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

I make no assumptions. I merely ask questions. If you would like for me to choose more suitable ones, then I suggest you find my door, come through it, and explain the situation to me in full and without embellishment.

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

No. You can come to my door.

[peektuttut]

Depending on what that retort is, you might be wrong. Mister Sexby brought this to my attention; I will handle it.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

The effectiveness of which remains to be seen. The urchin has been through more Wardens than I had, and somehow he still continues his troublemaking, which in itself is suspect.

[peektuttut]

I intend to be his last warden, but calling him out publicly isn't doing much to help with that. I knew as much as you did about the deal, so if you deal with your inmate, I can deal with mine.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Which is all well and good, cherub, but my message to him regards any future interactions, not the previous.

[peektuttut]

I can appreciate you defending your inmate, but don't threaten mine.

[grayatonement]

Because your inmate doesn't cause trouble?

Private.

[toldastory]

I can take Renate out if you like, Marquis.

Are you having issues with your heart again?

Private.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Back pain, actually.

...I can over-estimate my own flexibility at times, and Renate's need for exercise has kept it on longer than usual.

Private.

[toldastory]

Do you want me to take a look or bring you something for the pain?

Private.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

That won't be necessary.

Private.

[triggered-it.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to hear you are feeling better.

Private.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Worth every moment, cherub.

[The Marquis, as promised, has come to Iago's door, looking none-too-happy. He knocks.]

[Iago Spam]

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

It's open! [Like hell he would get up to answer the door himself. He was lounging on his bed, pretending not to care while he read.]

[Iago Spam]

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

[The Marquis entered and almost immediately pulled up a chair alongside his bed to sit and look at him.]

[Iago Spam]

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

[Iago put down his book and just looked over to him.] Hello, Marquis. [His jaw was set stubbornly and was tense with anger, but it was controlled at the moment.]

I'm bored, have some random trolling

[requiresssacrifice]

So nice to finally see some transparency from the wardens.

WHY DID I NOT SEE THIS?

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

I have never been anything, if not honest.

BECAUSE I'M SNEAKY

[requiresssacrifice]

An admirable quality, if somewhat lacking on the Barge.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Not everyone can be me.
