"Hello.

You've reached the direct line of Doctor Frederick Chilton. As I am not available at the moment, you might assume I'm quite busy with something pressing. State your name and business, and I will return your call."

It's really that important? [ said with equal parts disbelief and fascination. ]

[slightlyoffchilt]

I think it is, yes. You're a pioneer, especially in this regard.

[reptiledysfunction]

You'll give me an ego at this rate.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Trust me, Curt, I've never been one for easy praise. Someone ought to remind you how important you are.

[reptiledysfunction]

It's certainly not going to be me, [ said with a little sigh. ] What's that saying? We're our own worst critics? We see our own faults and don't want to promote our triumphs for fear of being seen as vain.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Well -- at least you can relieve yourself of the suspicion of narcissism! [His lighthearted way of joking.] In all honesty, it's a relief that you lack any of the malignant personality disorders. That makes your situation far more workable.

[reptiledysfunction]

I suppose it's always nice when the patient wants to change just as much as the doctor wants them to. There's a lot less push and pull.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Better than we're on the same page, isn't it? I would loathe to steer you too roughly, after all the progress you've made already.

[reptiledysfunction]

Exactly.

And, speaking of progress...I don't think I ever thanked you for taking care of me after that episode in your basement.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Your compliance is thanks enough, Curt. My research wouldn't be possible without you.

[reptiledysfunction]

Well hey, glad I can help...even if that level of help is simply 'be a guinea pig.'

[slightlyoffchilt]

And in that vein, I'm exceptionally glad that you're a man of science. Anything less wouldn't appreciate how important that much is, of course.

I'll be watching for your reveal, Curt.

[reptiledysfunction]

Fingers crossed that everything turns out well.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Until then, call me with any updates, won't you? I can't help but worry.

[reptiledysfunction]

Oh, I definitely will--you can trust me on that.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I trust you on that, and many other things.
